here i am again, with no photos... teehee!

today my midwife came by to help get our house ready for the birth :) so exciting! she brought by the birthing tub and explained how to set it up and how to fill it and everything, and did her normal examination of my belly (baby is doing great, which is always nice to hear!) and then we just talked and talked about midwifery and how to pursue it as a calling, and how it's affected her life... twas a nice visit :)

not much else is new around here... patrik has been at his new job for about a week now, and even though it's really long hours doing hard manual labour, he's happy and liking it :) he comes home EXHAUSTED every day though! such a difference from the two months we've spent sitting around the house doing not much of anything! (which, by the way, is still what my day consists of... nada nada nada... just growing a baby and watching too much tv...)

pics of belly

halo all :)

i'm a-growin' and a-growin', and though i haven't figured out how to upload photos onto my blog from here, my friend aria has some photos of my ever-increasing girth on her blog... check it out if'n you like!

all is well here, still job hunting for patrik and getting the house ready for a mini-family reunion this weekend... my mom and grandmother and sister and sister's fiancee and sister's fiancee's son will be visiting albuquerque this weekend (and we're having a baby shower to celebrate! woohoo!) so we'll have a full house... but that's the best type of house, isn't it? :)

i'm missing haifa a lot lately, so any emails from all you bwc'ers would be great! i don't have anyone's address (i got in the habit of having outlook just automatically filling them in at work, so now i have NO idea what anyone's address is...) but here's mine: snugglylion@yahoo.com...

big hugs!

i'm becoming terrible at this...

i doubt anyone ever looks at this blog anymore, but i thought i'd update anyway... :)

still no photos (sorry-- no computer at home and i have NO idea how to download photos at the public library without them being saved to the harddrive for random people to look at... scaaaaarry...), but one of these days i'll figure out a way... i know there's a couple of folks anxious to see my ever-growing belly (it's HUGE!) and we just moved into a new house which i'm pretty sure my mamita wants photos of too...

we are now officially living in albuquerque, new mexico, renting a cute little house from my future brother-in-law, which is perfect cuz it's completely furnished so we don't have to go out and buy a bunch of stuff... patrik is looking for work and i'm enjoying a ridiculous amount of leisure time... growing a baby has made me incredibly lazy... hehehe...

we've gone to a couple of baha'i activities since we got here, and it's so nice for me to see everyone again, and to see the amount of change that has occured in the mindset of the community... being away for a year and a half lets me see the growth spurt that has taken place, and appreciate how different things are! so exciting!

anyway, that's about it (really! we're not doing much...)-- i'll try to post more often...

much love...
