This picture of me stretching is when I officially had my worst day of pregnancy. It is about 4 am and we are at a rest stop just outside of Ann Arbor. We were heading home from the U2 concert and I was the most miserable person in that car for the 4 hours. I made Rob stop when we were only like 15 minutes away from our house so I could do some streching. I'm in my pj's if you were wondering. That isn't what I wore to the concert.

This picture of Theo is just another adorable shot that should be on the front of a greeting card.

The picture of Rob is him assembling the Pack n Play. He did a good job without the instructions. I just thought I needed to catch him in action.

One of my clients, Mary Keineth, had a wonderful shower for me at her house. The theme was over-the-top and everything was just perfect! The cake was amazing! Thanks Mary! You are the best.

Zingerman's Pizza Pie Making class Sept 2, 2009

Back in September we thought we needed some personal enrichment. Zingerman's is a great bakery/restaurant business in Ann Arbor and they host a ton of cooking classes. We thought pizza would be the most useful.

The class was very worthwhile but I will say we were very very sick of pizza after about a week. We brought home 4 made pizza's and we brought home 4 more (just the dough) to make on our own. We had a good time and realized that sometimes you have to pay a little money to have a new experience! I would like to do the Christmas cookie class but maybe I'll hold off until next year.

Almost 38 weeks. .

I just had to post this picture of Rob. Words can't describe it really.

These are some more pictures of our vacation up north on Mission Point. The house was amazing and there were a lot a dogs too. The little one that is humping my leg was my favorite pup. He was a very nice Boston Terrier.

Theo's Fall photo shoot

Our yard is covered in leaves. We have so many trees in our neighborhood. It really is pretty. Theo still likes to go outside and here is his latest photo shoot.

Amy's version of waiting...

Everyone tells me I should take a week or two off before the baby is born so I can relax and get things done. I laugh at their very comments! I have so much time on my hands I'm not sure what to do at times.

I have been feeling really good and sleeping like a baby. My ankles aren't swollen and my biggest complaint is that I get really hot.

We both are getting ramped up for JV girls basketball. The season starts November 9th. The baby is due November 10th. So, we actually have 2 things to look forward to right now which sort of makes things move super slow.

I'm almost 38 weeks pregnant and I think I am finally used to the size of my body. I feel like I could keep him in there for another 2 months if I had to but I'm sure in about 10 more days I might be thinking otherwise.

As for an exercise update: I go for a 30-60 minute walk a couple times per week, lift weights at least 1 time per week, and I do a yoga video at home 2-3 times per week. I think all of it is helping me feel better. I gained a lot of weight but I kind of knew that would happen since I have close to some of the worst eating habits on the planet.

Like Rob said, we don't have a name picked and that drives me a little nutty but I just don't like any of them. I don't know what that means exactly but hopefully when we see the little guy we will know what to call him. If all else fails we will call him Theo.

19 days to go...

Waiting

We have just over two weeks to go until the due date. I think we are prepared for him to arrive. Amy has cleaned every closet and found a place for all the baby gear. The car seat was put in by Ben and Mindy. In the mean time we are trying not to count down every day and trying to stay occupied.

Amy has continued to work nearly 20 hours a week as a personal trainer. I can just see her working into her 40th week. This past week I took a short one day trip to Washington D.C. for a seminar on Stata which is a software package that I use everyday. Not the most exciting trip but it sure beat the "beige cage" for a day.

We still haven't decided on a name for the baby boy. We change our minds everyday. And some days he doesn't even have one. We'll decide when the pressure is on.
