26 Weeks

People meeting me STILL don't think I look pregnant. #*#&#! I'll admit, the outfits I choose for pictures probably emphasize the belly. But still. You think my stomach just naturally juts out like this?
Hallelujah we got some rain yesterday! 85 degrees and sunny EVERY day just doesn't do it for me... I guess I really do need opposition in all things. I was so elated to wake up to a little cloud cover and sprinkles that I almost cried.

On our way to take the prego picture at a little park near our apartment we passed a couple of antique suitcases on the side of the road with a "FREE" sign. At Seth's suggestion we stopped and snagged a really neat brown Samsonite one (that now sits with a blue one that I've had as decoration in our family room). Then, this morning I woke up and did my daily check of Etsy... and what's on the front page? The EXACT same one...for forty big ones! Good find to the Hubs!

(Note: You might be wondering why I'm always dressed up in these pictures. Which is totally against my number one fashion rule -- comfort. No. I don't wear a skirt every day. I don't even wear a skirt for a full day every week. It's more like four hours on Sunday. It just so happens that my week benchmarks fall on Sunday, so you get to see my polished church-going outfit instead of the plain Jane (or is it Tarzan meets Jane?) outfits I usually sport.)

  4. I second these other two ladies on your adorableness:)

    I also rejoice when we get an overcast day or a little bit of rain. You'd think I'd love living in Hawaii where it is summer every single day all year long, but I most definitely miss the four seasons. Also love the suitcase!
