Baby Bump

So each week Keith and I take a photo of the belly together.  In the end I predict that my stomach will almost be touching him.  This was one of the first weeks that there was a noticeable difference... also a noticeable difference in the number of items in my closet that I can still wear.  I think we may be off in the number of weeks since my doctor moved by due date but I am 13 or so weeks.  I had my first inquiry from a brave cashier at Armstrong's Nursery who asked when I was due.  Starting to show, discussing what needs to be rearranged around the house, and being confronted by strangers makes it all very real and exciting!!

10 Things You May Not Know About Me

1. I love milk.  I drink it almost every night for dinner... with two ice cubes.

2. Until last year I did not have a middle name (now its Chaix).

3. I have an automatic "edit and correct" function in my brain so I am always finding typos (sushi restaurants have the most typos in their menus in my opinion.) 

4. I have a tattoo.

5. I wish I looked better with short hair.  I would love to chop mine off again but I always regret it.

6. I like storage containers.  I have containers in containers in our closet waiting to contain things. 

7. Sometimes I put things on my To Do list that I just completed merely for the satisfaction of crossing them off. 

8. I have never broken a bone.

9. I am perplexed that there are so many different sizes of dogs (from the size of a rat to the size of a pony) yet there is really only one size of domestic cat. Hmmm.

10. I'm pregnant!  Baby Erselius is due in September 2011.

Is that a tent in your living room?

Keith and I have great aspirations for being a camping family and getting out in the great outdoors.  We overcame our last obstacle last month by purchasing our tent.  Keith found a guy selling the tent we wanted on Craig's List so we got the tent, footprint, connector garage for the tent, sleeping bag, and a lamp all for the price we would have paid just for the tent.  I was so excited about it that Keith and I set it up in our apartment that night (it was raining outside so that wasn't a good option).  Though it was a challenge since the poles are about twice the length of our living room we made it work.  The monster is so tall that Keith can stand up in it (and he's 6'3").  The pictures are quite humorous as was the challenge of putting up a tent in a tiny apartment living room.  Good times had by all.
