If I Were Home...

If I were home in New York today, I know exactly what I'd like to be doing. 

I'd have the windows in the whole house thrown open to let in the fresh autumn air.  I'd be baking apple and pumpkin pies while I watch colorful leaves flutter on the trees outside.  Once the pies were set out to cool I'd take a walk and enjoy the day.  I'd harvest some pumpkins and rake some leaves.  As usual, I'd take lots of pictures. 

Its a shame I won't be heading home for a while yet.  Somehow, I think some fresh air and simple activities would make me feel a lot less icky most days.

 

Changes

Eek! It has been nearly 6 months since I wrote anything here. I feel so ashamed.  I will try to update more often in the future.

For today though, I'm sticking with a simple post about some big changes in my life. 

I am happy to say that I am expecting a little on in April of next year!  Everything I think of these days has to do with the precious little baby growing in my belly.  I'm crocheting baby blankets, thinking of sewing myself some maternity clothes for winter, and constantly wondering what it will be like to meet the little one in April.

I've done a few of my own maternity photos, as I am not far along, and I don't like the conventional photos that everyone else does.  I'm going with the "How big is your baby this week compared to fruit" list I found online.  Here are the photos I have so far for weeks 7 and 8.
