Sweet Summer Time...

This may sound crazy, but I'm kind of ready for the summer to be over. I miss my law school friends, and I kind of miss the structure of classes. Remind me I said that in November when I'm 7 months pregnant, knee deep in studying for finals and want to kill myself. But for now, I am feeling ready to get back to it.

Meanwhile, I am rapidly compiling a list of things I would like to get done before school starts, including cleaning out my closet. This is actually one of my favorite past-times, because I love creating room for new purchases! Still little to no sign of a baby bump, which keeps me craving regular clothes, but I feel hesitant to shop lest I never fit in the clothes again. Friends who have already had babies- how do I lose ALL the baby weight? I like my clothes and want to wear them post baby!

Now, before signing off, I have to write about my new fave thing- Goody Spin Pins! I love these things! I have A LOT of hair, and years of doing classical ballet has caused me to amassed a large quantity of hair pins, which I chase around the house after my kitties steal them. But the spin pins? Two of them and I can make the cutest, easiest up-dos. Friends with thick, long, or curly hair- you MUST purchase these. Best $6 I've spent in a long time!

Bun in the Oven

So here's Bunny, coming in January. I thought I'd go ahead and blog about our little one, since I know there are scores of questions I'm going to get (because I've been asked the same ones basically ever since we told the very first person). Bunny is not entirely a surprise- Adam and I have been talking about a baby for awhile now, and I've been feeling the "mommy" vibe for the last few months for sure! He/she/it is due to arrive on January 23, 2011. No, I'm not showing yet, in fact, I've been so sick that I've lost 8 lbs. since getting pregnant, so keep praying for me to get fat and happy sooner rather than later! Oh, and I'm NOT dropping out or taking time off from law school except to give birth and recover. I'll have more time with Bunny now than I ever would as a first year associate, so we're confident that we can make law school and parenthood mesh. And we're very excited!
