For those of you who haven’t had a chance to guess already, I’m collecting predictions for our baby! The due date is March 29th.
Birthday:
Weight:
Length:
Eye Color:
Hair Color:
I know many of you have been wondering, but we still don’t have a name picked out. We’re going to wait until we see her to decide. At this point the pool of first names consists of Katherine, Molly, Clara and Marta. The middle name will probably be Jane, Grace or Elizabeth.

It started snowing this afternoon, and by the time Ben left work it was pretty bad. His usual 20 minute commute took him 2 hours!! Luckily Anna was being a very good girl today and we had fun waiting for Daddy to get home. It has stopped snowing now, and it really is nothing compared to Buffalo snow, but it sure messed up the roads at the wrong time of day!
I’m almost 34 weeks pregnant now. I can’t believe it! I’ve been looking back at pictures of me at this point in my pregnancy with Anna, and I can’t believe how well I’m doing. No swelling, I can still fit my wedding rings on (most of the time) and I weigh at least 10 pounds less! Don’t get jealous now – I am definitely dealing with 3rd trimester fatigue and my back REALLY aches by the end of the day.
My sister is getting home from her mission soon, and planning to stay with us for a few weeks in May. It will be perfect timing to bless the baby. My other sister will definitely come as well, and my parents have expressed interest in making the trip. I really hope everyone can make it! It’s crazy fun to have everyone crashing at our house with a newborn!

You buy a van:


and you get really excited about a haircut and color:

The opportunity to buy the van just came up, and it was too good to pass up. It may sound silly to own a van with 1 kid and 1 on the way, but compared to our Camry (which we’re selling), it’s bigger, lower miles, same gas mileage, lower monthly payment and lower insurance. Plus, it has leather, and I won’t hit my head when I get the kiddos in and out! And don’t forget about that massive double stroller we’ll have to fit into the back pretty soon.
I’ll end with one of Anna’s favorite phrases:
“Help me now…...PEASE!!”

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning. B. Each player answers the questions about themselves. C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
10 years ago…. I was a junior in HS, probably knee-deep in musical rehearsals (Pippin) and AP class homework.
Five things on my to do list today….. wash whites, put away diapers, get Camry’s oil changed, mail valentines, make dinner.
Snacks I enjoy… popcorn, grapefruit, jelly bellies, celery with PB and raisins, yogurt.
If I suddenly became a billionaire… We’d pay off all our debts, invest, fix the yard and Ben would probably end up with some pretty sweet audio equipment.
5 bad habits….. Procrastination, not returning emails, staying up too late, sleeping in, playing on the computer too much.
5 jobs I have had… paper carrier, babysitter, subway, cleaning lady, physical therapist.
5 things most people don’t know about me…. This is hard b/c I am pretty much an open book. Just don’t mention the Wizard of Oz around me.
5 People I tag:
Lisa
Laura
Ben
Jenni
Jessica
