I Love to See the Temples

Is it true? Can it be real? Will we really have a baby in one month?  What will she look like?  What will her name be?  What will our life be like after that? Right now I have a lumpy, jerky, wiggly, little body inside of me, with mystery bones and parts I can feel with my hands, and jabs I can feel in my ribs and pelvis.  It's a growing bulge, a round firmness in my middle. My kids joke that I'm smarter now because I have two brains in me.  I have another month of this extraordinary condition before I trade it for an additional individual in my family.  Then I will never feel this again--this lumpy, jerky, wiggly little body in my middle.  But I will feel her in my arms. It's getting closer. I'm at 36 weeks which means a few things: I can't find a good position to write on something on my lap. I can't find clothes that fit, so I've had to wear Ephraim's shirts. I struggle putting on and taking off my socks and shoes. My face is fuller

We invited over some friends, ate cake, got cool gifts, and had a grand day!

I found a collection of goofy faces on my phone.  I thought my children would appreciate it if I shared them. We tried some look-alikes at dinner. And this one: These faces were natural reactions to the kale salad I made. This one is a product of hours of practice. This one is brought to you by Star Wars. This one was part of a birthday celebration.
