My BELLY

I finally broke down and told everyone at work that I'm pregnant a few weeks ago. I had been putting it off because I felt a little awkward about it and I didn't want to make a bid deal about it, but when I was having a hard time fitting into my work clothes I decided I'd better do it sooner rather than later. I ordered a cake with some cute baby blocks on top and had the bakery include the following message: "Announcing . . . Baby Squires Coming November 2008." (Thanks, Chelsea, for the cute cake idea!) It was quite the hit and a lot of fun to listen to people's reactions as they saw the cake. I didn't get much work done that morning because I had a pretty consistent stream of well-wishers coming in to congratulate me and ask me how I was feeling. :) It was lots of fun.
So back to my belly . . . . I was having quite the dilemma getting dressed for work every morning. I'd try on half of my closet before finding something that fit without pulling in uncomfortable spots, so last weekend I did something about it. I went shopping, of course! I found a bunch of cute dresses at Motherhood Maternity and stocked up. I am so excited. Now I don't mind my belly bump nearly as much because I don't look like I've just gotten fat. I'm finally starting to look like I might be pregnant.
And in commemoration of that thought, I took a picture yesterday. I realized that I haven't documented anything in my pregnancy yet, so I though a belly shot was well over due.

Moving Day

OK, I'm back. At least for today. Things have been a little hectic this last month. We finally moved into our new house (pictures to come later) on May 3rd. It was a VERY long day! I think that we may just stay here until we die because I don't know if I can handle the moving process again. I really can't imagine how much more awful it must be to move a family/house full of stuff than it was to move from our one-bedroom apartment. Although, I must say that it is amazing how much stuff Shaun and I had crammed into that little apartment. When we had everything boxed up and ready to move, it filled almost the entire front living room.

I meant to take pictures to memorialize our big move into our first house, but that plan went out the window within the first hour or so that day. Too much to do! So let me just say a big "Thank You" to those dearly beloved family members who helped us move. THANK YOU!!!
