Jess, your hair looks great, plus you gave us a bump shot. You look wonderful. I remember the unnaturally good posture of late pregnancy. Oof.

You look great Jess. Very fun hair. Is the sprog a he? There was quite nothing to compare to the rib and bladder pressure when the boys would stretch out. Eeep.

You look gorgeous, Jessica!

No word on the apartment yet. The owners didn't call the real estate guy back. However, he is running our credit just in case, which makes me more nervous. For some reason my credit came back fine last time. The only explaination I can think of is the buffista ~ma. I have paid off bills and improved it since then, but it's still not great.

Lots and lots of house~ma, sj. And a pox on your present landlady and all her works, but not until after you're safely out and settled somewhere else.

Jess, I'm'a guess coffee and kicking. At least I hope so, because I remember the late-pregnancy return to coffee with such blinding joy.

He's very sprawly and fidgety, like both his parents, which means I frequently have the pleasure of being head-butted in the bladder and kicked in the ribs at the same time.

Oof. Matilda used to do handstands, which left me kind of gaspy.

Be forewarned: You think he's sprawly now? Wait till he's out. If he ends up ever sleeping in your bed at any point, don't be surprised to find that sleeping babies are a lot like sleeping cats. It's incredible how such a tiny thing can manage to take up so much space and crowd the full-sized mammals right off the bed.

Jessica! Sexy, whoa!

Please tell me that Emmett was wearing hearing protection. I always worry about young ears getting damaged.

Word. Tinnitus is not fun. Earplugs are your friends.

This is so true.

Mallory used to hit me so hard in the ribs it would knock me off balance. Now he does that to people's legs. He may be one of the only children who knows "TACKLEHUG!!!" as one of his first 50 words.

LOVE your hair, Jess.

Eep! I leave in like 36 hours.

Word.

Lillian's TINY.

She takes up SO MUCH bed. And she FLAILS. And can't STAND having her feet under the covers, so she'll contort until they are out.

And can't STAND having her feet under the covers, so she'll contort until they are out.

Um. I still do this.

You should sleep with my husband, because I like having my feet covered, but he always manages to untuck the whole sheet from the foot of the bed.

I don't know how people exist with only one set of sheets/blankets on the bed. In the first week we were sharing a bed, Hubby and I decided to have His blankets and Her blankets on the bed at the same time.
