Winter update
I know it's the middle of winter, not because of the piles of snow in the parking lots or the deer desperate for something to eat, but because Nadia has been begging to go camping.  She sees our trailer in the backyard and wonders when it is we can use it again.  Me too.  How to explain to a girl of almost four that it has to be warmer before we can go anywhere.  I tried talking Keith into a quick trip down to South Carolina before the baby is born, but he looked at me like I was crazy.  Hmmmm.  I'm just glad we can head up north this summer.  I missed our trips to the U.P.

I'm officially 34 weeks (out of 40+) into the pregnancy and have been moving pretty slowly.  It's a good thing I'm not very sensitive about what people say to me.  I've had more than one person approach me in the past week, inquiring "Are you always this big during pregnancy?" or "When are you due? It's got to be soon!"  It's not like I don't know I'm big.  I'll be lucky if the coat I've been borrowing from Keith still fits me in another couple of weeks.

The girls have been having fun feeling (and seeing) the baby kick and roll in my belly, so there are some benefits being large.

Keith is brewing a batch of beer tomorrow, and is looking forward to drinking it after the baby is born! (Me too.)  Not like I'm going to be drinking much, but a nice glass of beer sounds SO good.  I'm weak, I'll admit it.
