Check it out here.
And as of yesterday, there are only two months left until he's due!!! Everything is still going smoothly, although my feet are getting harder and harder to access and washing dishes at the sink is turning into a challenge (go go gadget arms!).

Eric and I are expecting the birth of our first child on July 8th. As long as he (yes he) isn't late, I will still be 28 years old. If I'm 29 when he arrives, I think I'll be okay too.
Things have been going well so far and I don't take for granted that it's been fairly easy for me.

It was the first full summer in our new house and that left us with plenty of outdoor projects to tackle. The garden ended up being enormously successful - almost too much so, as we had to fashion extra tomato cages and twine and stakes to keep the plants standing upright. As a result, we've been gorging ourselves on several different The Bombichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02882462926019131511noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21609544.post-14959817756347596242010-07-20T10:36:00.000-07:002010-07-20T10:36:29.887-07:00Day-ly ViewI'll admit it. I've been totally lax in updating this blog. My apologies to all.
Since I am now 28!!! I am going to try to get back in the habit of writing, and that includes writing on this blog. The last year has been one of the most eventful and crazy of my life and my goal in this 28!!!th year is to refocus my attention on the things that I love and that make me who I am.

It is such a wonderful day the day you get the puppy and you make big plans for how you're going to walk it everyday and train it perfectly and feed it the best food.
