our baby is a very active one! david says it is either a boy practicing his soccer kicks or a girl who will have no trouble defending herself! it is fun to be able to feel him almost all the time. so far it hasn't interrupted my sleep at night. he does have an active time right around 10:30 though, as i'm going to bed, but it's not hard enough to bother me. just hard enough to know she is alive and well! other than that, i have been having more aches and pains than before. all my ligaments and joints are loosening up for the big day, and that includes ALL of them. i've been dealing ok with a couple of tylenol here or there so far. bending over is getting VERY difficult now, so if i drop something (which is all the time because even the joints in my fingers are looser causing alot of clumsiness) i usually kick it over to dave and ask him to pick it up or i leave it for when he's around. if i really need, i'm grunting all the way. very ladylike of me. dave thinks it's cute. anyway, this past wednesday was my last day of work at the cafe. a bittersweet leaving. i needed to stop. it was getting so difficult on the days i worked. i'd have to recoup the next day because i was so exhausted. in that way, i am VERY glad i am done! but on the other hand, this was my life for the last 5 1/2 years! i helped create the cafe with my dad and brothers. so much of what's there has my influence. i will miss it. but it's easier to leave now since i have something to fill that void. and it is clamoring for my priority and attention. and i'd rather give all of me to my family than to a job. it was a necessary and easy decision. i will be around though, i may even pick up a shift here or there when they are short-handed. so i'm not out of the loop totally. well, that is the low-down on my life. i will try to take more pictures and post them before we give the camera back. have a great weekend!

Wow Laura! You look great! That is so exciting to think of the little guy growing inside of you! My sis-in-law is about a month behind you, so I am excited to see her at Christmas. They are making the baby's gender a surprise too.
Have you had any baby showers yet? Are you registered? Where? Feel free to write me via e-mail.
