Robin posted this lovely video by Noah and the Whale, who I've become a huge fan as of lately, and I had to share- perfect for this snowy morning. Enjoy.

Fun News!

Our fun news is that we're expecting a baby boy in March! We found out our happy news last Friday, and although I was expecting the news to be a girl (I was pretty sure of it, in fact.), we could not be happier to welcome a little boy into our home. A little Jeff is going to be thee cutest.

Marketa + Glen

Who else became mildly obsessed with The Swell Season after the movie "Once" came out? I'm definitely a fan. SO, I'm so excited to see that you can stream their entire new album "Strict Joy" via NPR here.

Final thoughts on the album to come... In the meantime, I have some serious listening to do!

Back Into the Swing of Things...

Thanks everyone for your fun comments about our pregnancy! It's so fun to read what others have gone through; it's very reassuring.

So, I'm happy to say I'm (almost) back into the swing of my regular-life things... Example: I'm loving taking photos again! Yay! Here's a peek from a recent photo date:

Isn't she a doll? See more here!

Observations while being pregnant::

+ I worry… a lot

+ I love to eat Golden Grahams

+ I hate the smell of my work’s bathroom hand-soap

+I am no longer tempted with Jr. Mints (Anything mint has been difficult to eat.)

+ I always feel awkward telling someone the news that “We’re pregnant!”

+ I am always tired and always hoping for a nap

+ Whenever I tell someone how far along I am, I feel the need to round-up a week

+ I like to layer my clothing to try and hide the sorta pregnant belly starting to form (When really, I just look bloated.)

+ I cry at the drop of a hat- whether it be an episode from Oprah, Extreme Home Makeover, or Biggest Loser... man. I'm emotional.

+ I like to observe babies who will be my baby’s same age at this time in a year; I’m kind of obsessed about it, because I can’t believe that we will get one of those someday too!

+ We have a garden FULL of tomatoes, and I couldn’t go near them for 3 whole months- anything tomato made me want to gag

+ Jeff refers to my throwing-up as yakking because of HOW dramatic I am when I… yak.

+ I love www.babycenter.com’s updates; I always peruse week’s ahead to see what my baby will be doing soon

+ I talk way too much about my body's changes. I’m sure Jeff and my family are sick of hearing about it.

+ My little sister, Brecke, is also pregnant. She’s such a trooper about it; I want to be more like her.

+ I cannot wait to find out if we’re having a boy or girl. I think it’s a girl; Jeff thinks it’s a boy. But, really, I don’t care which, I just want a healthy baby.

+ Jeff has been the most amazing, supportive, sweet, loving husband ever while his wife has been somebody so unlike herself.

+ And finally, I still cannot believe we’re having a baby! We're so blessed.
