Beach

Something like a month ago, Zephan and I spent a day in Biloxi, MS getting our beach on.  It was the perfect day - not too hot, not too cold, not too crowded, nothing to worry about or rush to . . .

*sigh*

We took some pictures which, I'm sorry to say, hasn't happened a whole lot in the last few months.  And I actually found one that doesn't make me look quite so pregnant as the others :) . . . but extremely freckled, somehow.

Eating Breakfast, Thinking

It's Friday morning, and I have to be somewhere soon.  I've been reflecting on how busy it's been.  We graduated, packed, started working in Rolla, moved while working in Rolla (which means that we may never actually be done unpacking), went to Dallas for Orientation with PBT (which I want to write about, sometime -- maybe when I can be at home and not distracted by all the putting away that's left to do?), came back to Rolla on our anniversary, visited the midwife, celebrated my birthday (Tuesday night with the in-laws and Wednesday afternoon with my mom), hung out with family here for the wedding, today Zephan's sister's getting married, after which we're meeting more of Zephan's family in St. Louis for a surprise family reunion/birthday celebration for Grandma.  And of course, we'll probably get back from that in time to get not enough sleep before we start our next work week.  It promises to be less busy, which I'm really looking forward to.

And besides all of this, I'm all of a sudden feeling about 120% pregnant.

Monster Project Update 3

Well, I finished it. 

Not particularly well, maybe.  The beginning was killer, the end . . . eh.  But I did it.  And then left to spend the weekend in Lebanon.  And then started packing and stopped coming in to town.  Tomorrow we begin our drive to Georgia.  We'll see how it ends up - by the way things have been going, it may be a while before I hear back from my professor.

Zephan's last day of work is TODAY.

Hallelujah. 

Monster Project Update 2

My paper is due tomorrow, ideally by around 4.  My final draft currently consists of 11 pages.  So . . . 13 pages to go.  Think I can do it?  I'm starting to wonder.

The Last Hurrah

Zephan is on a four day weekend that ends tomorrow.  And then he works ten days in a row.  And then we leave to go to a Be In Health conference in Georgia.  And then we'll be in Rolla for the rest of the summer.  Meanwhile, I have a monster paper to finish and turn in on Thursday.  And then I'll be packing, packing, packing.  :)

We've been trying to smooth out some details, so we spent yesterday in Rolla looking at basements and interviewing midwives.  It. was. exhausting.  But now we have some ducks in a row.

We saw our midwife here in Columbia for the last time this morning, which makes three midwives in 24 hours.  It was a pretty sad thing.  She told me that I had a beautiful belly.  Everything looks fabulous.  I've gained 9 pounds in the last three weeks. (!).  We'll miss her.
