I love lamp...

Out here in the Presidio of SF, the housing is really old, so none of our rooms have lights. Now I realize the importance of lamps. I always thought lamps were just "extra lighting"... you know, by a reading nook or the bed side. So, for our baby's nursery, I went to GoodWill to find this lovely lamp and lamp shade. I also went to my favorite local fabric store where they have TONS of trims.. all for 25, 35, and 50 cents per yard... (but mostly 25) it's a steal of a deal. So I turned this into a project and got lots of lace to cover the shade. I took off the inside layer of fabric that was torn up, so light shows through just fine.

Before.. (don't mind my messy project/dining table)

36 Weeks

The belly. I figured if I never took one picture throughout this whole pregnancy, I might regret it after the fact. Hence.. the first prego pic of myself.
New symptom as of late... sausage fingers and baby carrot toes. My hands and feet have been swollen lately. I had to take off my wedding ring a couple days ago.. sadness.

I like turtles....

Don't know why this never fails to make me laugh.
