Always hungry ...

Always hungry ...

At some point this week my appetite kicked in full swing and I'm now eating every 2 hours. Trying to keep it healthy but tonight a burger sounded too tempting!

Preparing for "Frankenstorm" ... Hopefully won't be as over hyped as the hurricane last year that just rained on us.

Week 32

Week 32

Starting to get much bigger now! Luckily the nesting instinct has kicked in for both me and Bryan so we have been cleaning and reorganizing like crazy. We are also packing things away in preparation of moving after Bryan's graduation too. So this past week and weekend has been quite buy. Luckily we were able to enjoy a date night together the other night - dinner and a movie- trying to get in some couple time before the little one makes an appearance !

Week 30

A pic from this morning... Feel like I'm getting bigger everyday! Loving this colder weather because I can wear my leggings and dresses and boots! ( Which means no tight pants anymore) Fall weather is the best!

The Final Countdown....

The Final Countdown....

Haven't really posted anything in a little while - this is mostly because we have become entirely overwhelmed with baby preparations!! Personally, I didn't think that finding diapers would require such a vetting process but I was wrong....I realize now how new mommies can be really frustrated with everything especially because there are so many options for everything now. Organic or non-organic? Biodegradable? The list goes on. But the beautiful thing is that we enjoying every minute of it together and can't wait for this little girl to make her appearance. Also Mommy is starting to feel the burden of carrying around some of this extra weight! (As is evidenced by my "Elevator Mirror Chronicles" of this pregnancy - see pics below).

We are officially at 30 weeks now and that means the clock is ticking! 10 weeks to savor these last bits of sleep and quiet time together before we two become three! (Well, four since we have Napoleon as our 'furry child').

At least the football season and our 49ers are giving us a welcome distraction from the frantic pace of life right now...and we definitely can't wait for the holidays together here in MD. (For the first time in seven years we are actually spending holidays -i.e. Thanksgiving, Christmas - here in Baltimore).

Enjoy the pics and perfect fall weather!

At a wedding for some friends of ours - 27 weeks.

Wow, its really wedding season...

Wow, its really wedding season...

Got a chance to spend another weekend celebrating love, life and marriage with more friends during Labor Day! Bryan and I both recollected on how lucky we are to have such a diverse group of amazing friends in our lives that we truly enjoy sharing these special moments with. (This would making wedding count for us up to 4 this year so far with two more to go!!)

The Chai's with the newlyweds!

Sneaking a piece of challah that is traditionally cut at Jewish ceremonies (couldn't help myself, it looked so good!)

Customary couple pic.

And the full length shot!

On a side note - that blue dress is super tight!! Six months pregnant and I didn't think I would fit into the dress I got, but luckily the belly was on my side that night and we were able to shimmy into the dress. (Also having a full zip on the back of the dress helped too!) I'm really enjoying showing the bump off in fitted dresses too!

Hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend off, I know I definitely did not want to go back to work this week =(

I also made some super easy breakfast pastries - Peach Financiers - to perk up our Saturday morning this weekend. They were a perfect pairing with coffee/tea and the rainy weather! Check out the recipe!!

Til next time!
