the last day and a half has been pretty tough. i got some sort of nasty food poisoning and had trouble keeping food down. tonight it appears i have kept down a full plate of pasta, though, so that's good news!

i have been really lucky to have such an uneventful and healthy pregnancy. i am literally knocking on the wood of our kitchen table right now that it continues for the final 4 weeks. it's starting to get pretty darn crowded in my belly, with our little one already in place (head down) and kicking me more and more often in the ribs (ow!), but (as people have told me), it's a lot easier to take care of the baby while he's still inside than once he's out. therefore, i am in no rush and hope he stays there until his due date. :)

i am trying to wrap up projects at work, which is a bit daunting. i have defined myself by my work for so long that it will be fascinating to see what multiple months off of work and a new definition as "mommy" will do for my sense of self. i am sure it's going to be a good thing. it's just strange to think about...

on a light note, check out this cool timeline of all of the lego people over time. i totally want the skeleton!
