so long for now

i thought i'd get one last post in before the internet co. comes and takes my connection to the outside world away.

buz has been working and working. and working. in fact its 8:30 in the pm and he's finally on his way home. i guess that's what you get when you're married to the tax guy. so, not much has been going on around these parts. but i do have some randoms of my sweet little girl. and when i say sweet, i really mean it, even though she is two and determined to define it the best way possible.

here i am in all my glory. i tried smiling in a few pictures, but that was no use. just picture what i usually look like, but swollen. big nose, big lips, big double chin... so i'm 36 weeks along and had the joyous "in depth" appointment today. i'm already to a 2 1/2 and 80% effaced, which is way more than i could ever say with lily, so we'll see if this little one has a time table all her own!

am i ready? probably not. i'll find out in the next few weeks. but i did go a little out of control on the nursery, trying my hand at sketching/painting this massive tree onto the nursery wall. i think it turned out pretty cute. and just picture the frame sitting on the swing (that's what that hanging ribbon is supposed to be) with a darling picture of my two girls in it.

some of you may be confused. all along this baby's name has been betsy. but a couple of weeks ago, after i had already purchased a giant "b," buz informed me that wasn't her name. this is what he chose. and i like it, so now we're just waiting and waiting for little zoe to arrive!
