Okay, I really do not have much to update for this week. Uh...I feel good, the baby is kicking and moving, we still don't have a name picked out. You know, the usuals. The only thing new is that I'm starting to get FF, aka fat face. Meh, whatever. I have moments where I freak about it but mostly I'm just doing my best to keep going and eat *somewhat* healthy and if I gain more than 30 pounds then it was just inevitable.
We are in the midst of daydreaming/planning a babymoon. We have so many fun trips coming up between now and January: Denver to see Aldus(just me), Wisconsin/Michigan to visit the Bells, Seattle, Hawaii to celebrate baby #2 joining our family and Key West with the whole family (and for Sue Anne and I to get our noses pierced). Whew! How awesome is that? The traveling, not the nose piercing. We are sorta going for broke (poor card!) with the traveling since we have been studying/working like crazy and are straight up burned out (this is a gross understatement) and exhausted and just want to have a fun few days together before this baby comes. Patrick really feel in love with Seattle on a recent business trip. We have flights reserved and plans in motion for 4 days in Seattle in September when we get back from Ann Arbor. As usual I'm worried about affording the trip whereas Patrick is all "Screw it! We work hard! We deserve a fun trip just the two of us!" And he's right, we really do. So it looks like we will be headed to Seattle to tour the city, enjoy the cooler weather, sleep in (!), NOT study (!!), eat fun dinners and see if maybe this could be a place we could see ourselves living.
I'm really looking forward to time with just Patrick. As we all know, having a little family is the most wonderful thing but damn if you get any time alone with your spouse. Patrick and I can not have a conversation for longer than 4 seconds before our wee little chatterbox starts talking to us. So I am really excited about having time with just him+me and not having a little shadow at my knees talkingtalkingtalking. I think honeymoon's are so important to take and I will always remember our honeymoon as a week of pure bliss - doing absolutely nothing, just walking the beach, drinking rum and cokes and being giddy with new wedding excitement. And the same was true with our babymoon for Piper (we stayed in the Abacos, a few days after everyone left from Christmas and lounged at a little inn on Elbow Cay). Once a little one joins the family nothing is ever the same - for the better! - so I want to enjoy the time Patrick and I have before our time, and my boobs, are devoted to a new little munchkin and jetting off for a few days alone won't be as easy.
p.s. - I need more comments people!

you look great!
shit, i need a full frontal then. i don't feel like you are getting fat face. but if you are, then i think you are having another girl. but i thought you were having a boy?! crap
um, the chicken murders are horrible. so sad that patrick had to clean it up. how sad. i really still want some so maybe we can chat about it later. i only worry about the cold winter nights we have. i do NOT want indoor pets.
VISITING ALDUS! i can not really explain how excited i am to have you here. whoa and whoa. it's going to be AUsome even if we just sit and stare at your belly and Aldus.
I want to pierce my nose too. can we have it be a friend thing and not a sister thing? hee hee
um Seattle! so on my list. we too are feeling broke. was hoping to do a trip 'pre baby starts crawling' but are thinking we can't pull it off with all of the weddings, showers, etc.
*btw, i freaking loved the obituary.
LJW - Can we just sit and stare at my belly and Aldus? I think that might be all I want to do. And maybe go get sushi...and do a yoga class at your yoga studio. And of course you are going to do a photo shoot of me, duh.
