My Baby Dante

Waiting on you baby. Lola's taking over your part of the bed, you better come soon. xoxoxo

And counting

Not much going on. I'm 38+ weeks, baby will come whenever baby desires. I've been a nesting fiend and terribly annoying (poor David) but I can't seem to control myself. Finally getting everything in order, we didn't (read: hate) the co-sleeper we bought many moons ago so had to get a used crib and sidecar it to the bed. It's much better now. I've accumulated quite a cloth diaper stash... especially since I plan on EC'ing a lot. We've got our fireplace working, Xmas tree up and infatable pool ready to go into the living room to have our baby. I still feel like it's all a dream.

Caught David by surprise while he was practicing babywearing with Santa.

I am 8 months pregnant. I am uncomfortable, emotional, grumpy, a pain to be around, tired...
and so
Grateful.
Everyday I stand in the nicest place in the world, a hot shower, and think back on my life and all the "mistakes" I've made, the poor choices, the ridiculous drama . . . I am SO happy I put myself through all that to get here to this very point in time, here with David and this big hiccuping baby doing kung fu every five minutes in my belly. I wouldn't change a thing.

Ok, drove past this house.... coolest house ever!They made it into a mountain, love it! Bet it stays a lovely temperature...

We have grass now, yay! Can't wait to go play in it with baby.

Gilcrease Orchard

So, for raw vegans we decided it was pretty ridiculous that we haven't visited the only farm/orchard here in the valley and went today. It's the end of the season and they are about to close for the winter, so we missed all the fruits. But, we got a lot of tomatoes, zucchinis (check out the monsters!) and squashes. It was SO much fun digging around for stuff. I can't wait for May. We're going to make it a regular weekly habit to go and take the kid - how wonderfully healthy to really see where you're food comes from and pick it yourself.

All that for eighteen bucks. I mean, at Whole Foods that would be at least 50 hehehe :)

I'm having a rough time with contractions (um.. it's actually "pressure waves" with my Hypnobabies course - - which I LOVE... self-hypnosis for birthing..) it's just soooo amazing that we are having a baby next month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whenever I feel scared I just remember to look at my hand lol...

I'll explain later..
