36 weeks

and feeling… good. (Random: the Pilot recently found a video on his old computer of my friend and I doing our pointe dance to that song. It was one of my faves) Is there some kind of pre-labor euphoria that hits? If so, maybe that’s what’s going on. Even though my hips still hurt like…

It also has a deathly cold feel to it- we had…

Just a Monday

I think the Pilot loves being in Tucson as much as I do. After he got off work, he stopped by my mom’s house to say hi, and she was cooking a feast. Baked gnocchi with vodka sauce and cheese homemade meatballs cheesy bread and a Bundt cake. You know, Monday night fare 😉 He…
