I heart Justin!

i came home from work tonight and justin had a surprise for me! he had stayed home from work to get a few things done around the house to help me "nest" in preparation of baby. it made my day!

he cleared out and stripped down the closet to prep it for painting and the new shelves we are putting in...



he finished the laundry...



he ran the dishwasher...



he cleaned and dusted the living room, and lit candles for me...



he set up the bedside bassinet and cleaned the bedroom of all clutter.



he did an amazing job on everything. thank you, justin! love you!!!

Date with Caitlin

yesterday, caitlin picked me up in the morning and we went to Bottega Louie for brunch downtown.



the highlight of our meal was the potato pancakes with creme fraiche and applesauce.



afterwards, we walked to the jewelry district, where caitlin took me to her dad's "silver guy" so i could pick out a temporary wedding ring that would fit my swollen finger (note: last week justin had to cut off my wedding ring). it was so hard to choose, but in the end i picked three beauties!



someday Elora can have them all!

thanks to caitlin for a great afternoon!

Strike a Pose

i was browsing online at clothes to buy, daydreaming about actually fitting in regular clothes again someday, and i look down to find a VERY clear reminder from a little certain someone on exactly why i can't fit in those clothes.

lately she seems to prefer the right side...
