week 37ish update
With a little foresight and patience I could have NOT been pregnant in August. Alas, when I want a baby I want it NOW and here I am sitting in 95 degrees of dry wall dust, chicken poop, and tears.
Baby simply can't come today, tomorrow, or in the next 6 days or so. Wednesday is our last day of work on the remodel. Period - I don't care if we don't have a toilet. It needs to end. We've currently got a nearly there new upstairs bathroom and refinished bedroom, but the rest of the house is in a state of suffering. Boxes and boxes of new furniture, paperwork and clutter in every corner, and a naked dirty summer version of Leif flitting about. I'm just too hot/miserable/swollen/tired to do all that much, but the nesting instinct is still as strong as ever.
Whoever is in charge, please let this baby stay in, let those worker men finish their work, and let me have at least 2 days of good uninterrupted nesting before it all comes crashing down again.
Today I have also promised to take some very pregnant photos of myself, given that I can find one beam of flattering light and a hairbrush. Stay tuned.

so funny b/c i was about to email you to see if you're in labor. she's coming sooner than 16 days and we both know it.
Oh my goodness, is that the name you've got picked? I almost picked that name for Darwin if he'd been a girl! Well, I wanted her name to be Calliope with Io as a nickname.
I love it!
Oh, so pregnant in August! I feel for you... it was the same for me with Orlando.
Wishing you many blessings and peaceful next days...
