Video of Abbe and Calla

With only days to go, we have everything together in the house. Abbe finished putting everything she needs in the hospital bag, and I go nowhere without my cell phone (not that that is actually any different than usual, I guess). There are at least three routes to the hospital, one of which avoids Route 7 (the main road here) entirely.

One of the last things we wanted to do was get a camcorder. Abbe and I were able to find one that was recommended to us by a friend and order it using rewards points (we didn't have to spend any money, yay!), and it arrrived last weekend. I've been playing around with it and wanted to try putting some video up on the blog. My first try is a really cute video of Abbe and Calla playing on the couch this week.

Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

So, because my due date is only about 10 days away, I wasn't allowed to travel anywhere for Thanksgiving, which meant not getting to see family unfortunately. But, Evan and I did the best that we could to still celebrate, and I think we had a pretty decent holiday. We went to go see Enchanted, the new Disney movie making fun of other animated Disney movies. It was quite cute, and definitely a good one for the holidays. We then went to a great restaurant that opened not that long ago in Lansdowne Town Center called The Dock at Lansdowne. Excellent food, and a really well-priced Thanksgiving dinner, but without any cooking or clean up! Below is a picture of us dressed up for dinner at the restaurant.

No baby news yet, but we still have plenty of days to go. I'll keep everyone posted!

My First Post

Hi everyone! So, I've set up this blog (ack!) so that everyone can easily get stories, pictures, and videos about the baby...when she finally gets here. I don't want anyone to worry - the blog is by invitation only, so strangers can't get on and see anything (we do want to be internet safe). Once the baby is here, we will be updating about once a week, with a short story of what happened that week, and the most recent pictures & possibly videos. So, try and check it every week or so!

Until then, you can enjoy the most recent pictures of me largely pregnant. This one is from about 3 weeks ago at Halloween - Evan, Calla and I went to the Leesburg Halloween Parade and rode on the Democratic Party float, throwing candy out to the kids. It was lots of fun, and an excuse to dress up!
