appreciating your kind comments on my birth story.

reading The Year of Magical Thinking.

crossing my fingers that we get some moderately fall(ish) weather this month.

re-committing to getting my 10k steps in…August was tough with the heat.

ordering a few tiny long-sleeve onesies.

preparing to start shipping 2016 GTWBs in just a few weeks.

feeling so glad we're right on schedule with production and that I'll have more time this season.

listening to the most recent This American Life episode about Hurricane Katrina victims, ten years later.

realizing that I recently replaced one bad habit (Candy Crush) with another not so great habit (house-hunting).

counting the days until we are done with Paul's night and evening rotation.

having dreams where I am writing blog posts and interviewing podcast guests.

(thinking that means it will be wonderful to take a long maternity leave.)

celebrating my mom's retirement this week!

loving little baby kicks all day long.

remarking that there are just nine weekends between now and my due date…

shaking my head in disbelief that we have plans for seven of them.

looking forward to having some friends visit for the long weekend!

chatting with Jen Geigley on the podcast this week about her rad goal (and success!) to write a knitting book in 100 days. subscribe or stream the episode here.

    I house hunt ALL THE TIME while I’m procrastinating on proper work 🙂 I have dream homes all picked out in cities all over this continent!

    House hunting is the best!! How long is long maternity leave? We will miss you! But I’m glad you can take some time off to be with your family 🙂

    I am making up an imaginary, busy life, that would require me to own that Get To Work Book. I am working on convincing myself I could use it as a fitness tracker also. I REALLY LOVE that thing!!!!

    I am having dreams where I have my own home. I’m trying to avoid house hunting, though, because realistically, I can’t afford a house right now.

    lol I totally read this as you have plans for 7 kids (then I realised you meant plans for 7 weekends lol). Enjoy the house hunting.

    Omg and I thought I was the only one that obsessively house hunted like it was a game! There isn’t anything more thrilling than getting on my HotPads app and seeing read houses (the ones I haven’t seen before) instead of all grey! Thanks for sharing about the American Life on Hurricane Katrina victims, I am going to have to check those out. Enjoy these last few weeks of your pregnancy, even if it all planned out already 😉
