 {I'm linking last weeks thoughts up to Miscellany Monday over at lowercase letters for the first time. Thanks for stopping by!}

...I cannot believe school starts back in 3 weeks. I mean, are they serious about that? I must plan, I must plan, I must plan...

...L has some facial expressions that I am fairly certain could kill.

...if we can't get pregnant again now, what should I do with all of L's sweet clothes? How many are too many to keep, just for 'nostalgia' and 'heirlooms' sake?

...when we found out we were having a boy, Matt said, "Wow, life is about to get a lot dirtier around here and I like it!" I am wondering how soon I should begin to adjust my a-type personality to that realization?

...I like our new living room set up a lot better right now. It feels more spacious and open. I think we are all just wondering how long that is going to last? I am thinking at least until the Christmas season, since I have already been scouting ideal tree locations in our new arrangement.

 

...speaking our new arrangement, I spend entirely too much time in this chair. I will say though that it definitely counts a good investment now, when less than 6 months ago I thought we might have overspent on it.

 

 ...L is a lot like me in some ways, and a lot more like Matt is others. Matt would probably say that she  inherited my affinity to be slightly 'princess-ish," love of shoes and sweet tooth. I would say that she got her ability to play non-stop, never ending energy, her love for being outside no matter what the temperature is, her smile, the tendency to role her eyes at me, her love of books, a fascination of golf balls, etc, etc, etc... from him. I guess it's a fair combination I guess. :)

...the mild summer has officially passed. L is still wanting to spend long hours on the great swing set Matt's parents got her, but I am not lasting too long in the heat!

 

...though I am fairly certain I won't, I am starting to feel that my belly might just pop at any second. Is it possible that I was this big with L and just have no recollection of it? In the past couple of days I have had at least 4 different people comment on how 'huge' my belly is. That's quite a feat since I am at home on bedrest!

{black is slimming, :)}

 

...I take too many pictures. Not necessarily pictures of too many events, more like too many pictures of the same exact thing. I think I need to get better at just knowing how to take a good picture, and less just shooting over and over again until I 'luck' into the right shot.

...I just don't think I will ever catch onto twitter, but I think it says something about our culture that I sometimes think in hashtags even though I don't tweet. Hmmm...#toomuchtimeontheinternet, #needtorejoincivilization, #sonotcoolenoughtodothis...

...we have got to break L of this band-aid obsession soon. I know for a fact that Mimi the babysitter will not understand.
