The ticking sound is getting louder

As of today, I'm 12 days away from my due date. I find myself savoring every single day I have left. Dave is frantically working on projects that he knows he'll have less time for very very soon. The addition steadily going up - more on that next week.

We went for a 2 mile hike along the White River on Sunday. The tress are just starting to turn. Moose enjoyed the walk but was happier to run.



Dave let him go in the river a bit but we didn't think he'd try to lay down and roll in it. Nothing like the smell of wet dog.



This picture still startles me. You think I'd be used to how giant my belly is by now but the side view is still surprising.



It rained recently so the river actually has water in it again! We plan to canoe down it as soon as the roof canoe rack comes in this week. (and yes I asked my doctor, I'm allowed!!) Though I'm a little nervous to take my camera with in case it falls in - at the same time I have a hard time leaving it behind.

My cousins came to visit with their little ones this weekend. Dave got a nice taste of how much work babies are. I'm sure it helped that I kept forcing him to hold the littlest one (who spit up on his leg - haha).



My mom and sister also visited this week. My mom sewed a little seat cushion for the little kid rocking chair we have while my sister tested out Moose's pillowness.
