Pregnancy seems to be agreeing with me. We're at 26 weeks now and things are still going fine. I am showing now, as the pictures below illustrate. It is hard to believe that we only have three more months until we welcome Claude/Maude into our little family. We picked up the crib yesterday, but will wait until after Christmas to set it up. After the tree comes down we will begin the major repositioning of furniture in the apartment. We also went ahead and bought our new car: the family-friendly Honda CRV. I never thought that I would own a Japanese car, but we really like it. We will have to wait for another sunny day before we take pictures of it. It has been nothing but rain since Monday. In fact, today I don't think the sun is going to come up at all.
We went to Kentucky for Thanksgiving this year; mostly to avoid the possibility of getting stuck in Chicago while I was six months pregant. It was so great to see family though and we had a nice time. We even got to see my brother Tom, in from the wilds of northern New Hampshire. He was elusive though and we couldn't get a picture.
We also celebrated Dan's birthday on the 19th....he is getting be an old man at 28! I didn't have any birthday candles so we made do with the tea light. He received lots of good wishes from family and really enjoyed his cake. We also decorated the house with lights this year. It is amazing that five strands of lights covers so little. I think the house looks good though. Too bad we haven't been home enough to keep the lights on. More pictures to follow once I remember to rotate them before posting....
