B'More Chai: winter

The final stretch.

Thanksgiving and the holidays are upon us! We really enjoyed ourselves this year, especially because we A) Didn't have to cook or B) Didn't have to travel, which always makes for a remarkably relaxing holiday! I've been getting bigger by the week (at least my OB's office scale seems to think so) and the gluttonous fest of Thanksgiving weekend definitely added a few more lbs. to that scale. As I'm nearing the end of this pregnancy I can't help but think how fortunate I am that everything went so smoothly and that I've truly been the happiest I've ever been in my life. I'm as so fortunate to have a husband who loves and supports me and will undoubtedly make the best father ever.

Bryan and I are trying to get as much 'couple' time as we can before the little one debuts - this means morning brunches out in Fells Point or dinner/movie dates together. We are also trying to get Napoleon acclimated to all the new baby stuff accumulating around the house but he seems none the wiser - so we'll see how he does when we bring her home. I'm sure he'll just love to have another human to incessantly lick!

As for now, I'm at 39 weeks (and counting). We really thought that this little girl would come early (OB even thought so too) but I'm not ruling it out until her due date next weekend. Been gradually slowing down and really feeling heavy everywhere. I'm sure this is not uncommon for most women about to pop so I'm trying to to take it in stride and stay somewhat active. Cleaning and walking the dog have become daily rituals, granted they are both done at a nice slow pace but at least they are getting done! I've also been continuing with some yoga practice, which I swear has helped me so much throughout this pregnancy. Anyways, here are some pictures from the last few weeks! Next post will hopefully include pics of the baby!
