This was last Wednesday. And why yes, I am about to pop! What an original statement!

Getting my February quota in.
We went to my aunt's last week just to get out, and had such a fun time looking at shells (E made me take some pictures of them), practicing our "flamingo pose" (a favorite pastime of hers), and--obviously--giving the camera (or perhaps the camerawoman?) some serious stares.
Judah's second birthday was last Thursday, and we celebrated with some presents, birthday cinnamon rolls, and thunderstorms. I felt so bad for him all day, because after the morning fun it was basically non-stop cartoons. When you've got a very pregnant, very tired mommy and very wet weather, that's about all that's left to do. We did take him to CiCi's that night (right before coming home and getting into a closet because of the tornado warnings), which he loved. That made me feel a little less awful about the uneventful middle part of his day.
A word about the shades: 1) They were Toy Story and 2) they were on clearance. That's all I'm going to say.
Also, he got a haircut! Or two or three...you just can't get it right in one shot with a wiggly, uncooperative two-year-old. But it's definitely better than before--the little man couldn't see the anything for the bangs in his face. Tony and I are mourning the Judah-hair though, and everyone thinks we're crazy. We were just attached.
Saturday saw an extremely quick run to the park. I had a friend's baby shower to get to, but we managed to let them run around in the gorgeous weather for about thirty minutes. I love this picture of Elizabeth:
Here's a picture of the kids on Judah's birthday last year. My, how things--and children--have changed.

This and that and other things.
Major recap post in an attempt to catch my blog up with my life. I hate stale blogs, and I am the worst of the worst! So here we go....
The [Slight, but Nonetheless Magical] Snow Day
Judah man all bundled, Randy-from-A-Christmas-Story style.

The other cocooned child.
The Church Baby Shower
And me in all my 8 1/2 months glory. We make big babies.
P.S. That card I'm holding says "Pregnancy is the happiest reason ever for feeling like crap." What profound truth!
Valentine's Day
Elizabeth's Pictoral Rendition of
Her Pregnant Mommy:
Complete with Swaddled Baby En Utero
Love the crazy hair and belly button especially!
I'm also flattered that she gave me eyelashes.
Monkey Girl at Chick-Fil-A
I look up to see my daughter scorning the huge, wonderful playground and scaling the padded support beams instead. I'm always amazed and proud of her so-unlike-me fearlessness.
Judah's Family Birthday Party
We decided on a Toy Story theme last minute, and the little man was all over it.
My mother-in-law and I spent long, late-night/early-morning hours making these fun cake pops. Or maybe it's more like "fun."
The remains of Judah's cake dinner. That's right...dinner. He woke up from his nap at around 6:45 p.m. (I can't tell you how hard it is for me to wake a sleeping baby), and as the party started at 7, we sort of just skipped the whole third meal thing and let him eat cake. I gave him a banana later though, so we're all good, right?
In other news, we're fast approaching the arrival of our third baby, Rivers. My doctor wants me to make it to March 12, when I'll be 38 weeks. And being pregnant for possibly only another 3 weeks or so would be a very good thing--if a little overwhelming to consider. Definitely anticipating meeting this little man. Stay tuned.

{Big!} Announcement.
Well, I've taken the plunge and finally created a calligraphy-only business site. It's in a "serviceable" stage right now, which is good enough to start getting the word out. So that's why I'm telling all of you! If I could (shamelessly) ask you, would you all have a look at it, become a follower, and maybe plug it some? That part of the site is pretty sad right now, and it needs some help from all you wonderful people who actually still read this blog.
I'm thrilled to be taking this next small step in my business. (It's weird even calling it a business, but, you know, I've got to be professional now.) There's a blog element on the site, which will chronicle current projects; there's a page which features four styles that can be customized to one's unique taste (or just left alone, if that floats your boat); and there's a "shop" page that I'm really excited about. It will eventually showcase stationery and art pieces that will be for sale. I'll keep you updated on the progress of that part of the site.
I hope you'll swing by the new "business" digs at thewrittenwords.com. I thank you in advance, sweet blog-friends!
