i know, i know

i know i haven't posted in for-ev-er. but i had a silly stretch of working nights, and haven't had the energy, much less the time.
things here have been pretty good. i'm feeling more and more pregnant and stressed as the days wear on. especially lately, as i gained like 10lbs in the last 2 weeks. :( (hard to remind myself it is baby-fat and not amber-fat)

so i hear she is roughly 3.5lbs and about 19inches long in there. she's got a sleep pattern and a wake pattern, sucks her thumb, swallows, and pretends to breathe. it's pretty neat. :) we are starting to get the little planning done, like finishing up the nursery, finishing up the registry, and *gasp* packing the hospital bags. i know it seems silly, but it's a just-in-case thing. i think that if i went into labor now at 31.5 weeks i would freak out and forget everything important at home. so, i will probably pack a preliminary bag in the next week or so. :)

i am considering getting some professional photos taken, and am wishing that my jenny lived a little closer to use that gorgeous cannon on me. :-D (can't wait to see the jamaica pics!)

justin took a mental health day today, and i'm pretty sure we are going to lounge around and do nothing. it has been far too long. :)

have a happy thursday!
