for reals

so let's just pretend like i blogged all year long and put up tons of really gorgeous pictures and didn't lie around and be sick and long for december to finally arrive....

but first, things we have been up to (in no particular order):

• halloween...it was fun but i was glad when it was over...another landmark off my list
• maryn and caleb in gymnastics
• eric's CRAZY season at work culminating with a haunted forest that i was not allowed to go to because it was too scary for me in my 8 month pregnant state....at least that's what he said
• josh growing like a weed, saying things that make me laugh everyday and cuddling with me when i don't feel good or collapse out of exhaustion
• josh refusing to acknowledge the baby in my belly and wanting to kick my belly....i'm anticipating a rough transition....especially when eric tries to sit by me and say, "this is MY wife..." josh practically strangles me and yells, "no this is MY LIFE!" interesting days ahead
• me teaching my piano lessons, a few photoshoots here and there and getting ready to direct a singing group for young girls starting in the new year....check it out here.
• longing for december as my belly steadily grows bigger and having lots of braxton hicks contractions and being completely exhausted all the time
• we cleaned out our bedroom
• set up the baby's new room which has now become one of my favorite rooms in the house
• went to see les miserables and lion king on broadway...both were amazing!
• i'm sure we've done other things too but they escape me right now....

despite my complaining, i'm actually doing really well....considering and we are all hanging in there.  my induction date has been set for the 21st of december and i can't wait although i wouldn't be at all surprised if this baby decides to show up sooner!
