Well,
it's been a little bit since I've written, but not a whole lot has happened. My current quandary is how to paint the room that Alice and I will be living in this next year. I really like the look of pale pink walls, but I also like minty green, and they look nice together, but I'm not sure how to stick them together. At least I've got all the furniture figured out, I can buy it as soon as I get back from the trip to Alabama, Andrew said. I'm not sure why he wants to wait..I'd really rather have it ready in the (unlikely, in my family) case Alice comes early. Especially since I'm planning on painting flowers on them. I went to Hobby Lobby the other day, and found an unfinished armoire/hutch/chest/wardrobe for $150. I couldn't resist..after all, I'd been eyeing those sorts of pieces in the catalogs forever, and they're always at least $600. I also got a small bedside table to put between my nursing rocker and my bed. Hopefully I'll get pics up of my nursery when it's done.

Here's a picture of me at 27 weeks:


I guess I'm getting kinda big, but I don't feel big when I look at myself. And it's not because I see myself in the mirror everyday. I'm half surprised every time I see my belly in the mirror because I forget I'm pregnant! I really haven't had any big problems. Except when I'm sitting in some chairs, then my back starts hurting. I also have to stop wearing contacts, because my eyes are changing shape a bit, a common thing in pregnancy. But I'd probably be better off with glasses after Alice is born, anyway.
