Ultrasound, Take 2

Now thirty-eight weeks along in my pregnancy (but who's counting?) this past weekend my doctor squeezed us in for one last ultrasound to verify my due date. Much to my relief, I'm still due early September, and not mid-September!
Baby seems to be doing fine-and big. Yet despite the best attempts of the technician, we were unable to get a full shot at Liam's head. He stubbornly kept his arms up over his face, complete with little scowl identical to his older brothers'. Enjoy the pictures we did manage to get of him.

One is Never Enough...

Let it be known that I have at least one squirrel-like tendency. But while a squirrel hoards nuts, I hoard books. Lately I've been horading so many that I suspect that I will be so well stocked with such literary treasures that they will tide me over into next summer, let alone through the winter.
Coming home from work at the library last night-with yet another armload of books-I couldn't help but smile. This summer job of mine is much more fun than I'd anticipated when I realized that a summer job would be necessary. Not only do I get to work with awesome people, but I am literally surrounded by books. Or in my case, surrounded by temptation.
For me, books are like chocolate: extremely addictive and impossible to stop at just one. Regardless of the many books I'll already have at home to read, not a shift goes by when I don't invariably find just one more that I have to take home with me. As such, no matter how big of an armload of books I waddle over there with, I always waddle home with a few more. Mind you, with my due date fast approaching I don't seem to have energy for much else besides reading, so this works at present!
