Still pregnant!  I have ten more days till my due date and getting anxious for her to come!  Justin and I had a fun little time together yesterday, while searching the streets of Paris for raspberry leaf tea, which has been known to help with the delivery of a baby.  Justin had his camera with him, so he took a few pictures of me all pregnant and huge!  I took one of him too.  I gave him a cute new hairdo.  You know he is a hottie!  Here are the pics! So there he is.  My hot husband.  Well, I need to be off drinking my raspberry leaf tea in hopes that it will help along the process!  Pray I don’t go over my due date!!!

Justin is painting the first coat of paint on the crib.  He worked so hard!  We found this super cute crib for only 25 euros used!  It is exactly what we wanted!  Justin sanded it down and painted at least two coats on it.  Took him a while, but it is done now and beautiful!  Here I am painting the baby’s dresser.  Don’t mind my love handle!   Those are not pregnancy pajamas, so they were a bit on the tight side around my tummy!  Yes, I took this picture of myself, pretending not to notice that the picture was being taken!  I’m a dork!  But you get the picture of how round and big the belly is! Justin and baby.  He loves the baby so much already.  He talks to her and sings to her and plays with her.  It is sweet.  He is going to be such a great…

I read a good book today.  Justin and I have been working so hard to get the apartment ready for the baby and also for our house warming party this coming Saturday.  I decided I needed a rest, so I read a book my sister let me borrow just a few months ago. The book is called, Three Weeks With My Brother, by Nicholas Sparks and Micah Sparks. I loved this book for many reasons.  First of all, it took me back in time and made me contemplate my own childhood memories.  I have so many good memories (some bad ones in there too).  Reading the book really made me miss my mom and sister.  It made me not want to take advantage of my relationship with either of them.  It was pretty much just us three growing up together as my mom was a young mom and parented by…

I love my grey hooded sweatshirt.  I always have.  I found this sweatshirt at a thrift store when I was in college.  Or maybe I was in high school.  It is the most comfortable thing I own.  Justin hates it (but really he loves it) because it has holes in the armpits and the pockets are literally falling off, but I love it.  It also has a weird pointy hood that makes me look like I am part of some racist group, but still, I love it.  I wore it out tonight because it is one of the few articles of clothing that fit over my belly, as I refuse to buy any new clothes for just five more weeks.  Well, on the way home it started raining, and that means, I was able to put my hood on.  In our old neighborhood I would have never dared to wear…

Today we met the lady that lives across the hall from us.  Her name is Annie.  She is probably around the age of our parents and is SO nice!  She welcomed us with a "bienvenue!"  She rang our doorbell, walked in and chatted for a bit about how to do the gas heating and other things and then said that if we need anything, we can ask her!  This is such a pleasant change! We absolutely LOVE our new neighborhood.  Yesterday Justin and I walked around our neighborhood to find that it is a really high Muslim population just a couple blocks over.  Yet, if you turn the corner from that, it is as if you are in China.  It is amazing how culturally diverse the area we live in is.  It is GREAT and it really suits us.  We are so happy to live in this new neighborhood!
