NINE!

We finally found our camera cord, so here is the overdue 30 week picture. Big difference from week 25! (Sorry about the grill in the background... and the fact that I'm not really smiling, I promise I was happy!)
At 31 weeks, I am getting more and more excited for this baby to get here! Daniel and I have narrowed our name list down to three choices for boys, five for girls. Yikes... we've still got some work to do on that before December rolls around! Naming a baby is one of the most difficult parts of this whole process, if you ask me!
Work is getting more difficult, but with only eight and a half weeks left, I am trying to really love and enjoy the kids as much as I can. I am definitely learning patience, though. When it would be faster to lift them up onto the changing table, I am learning to wait on them to slowly make their way up the steps. And although I would feel a little better if the blocks, animals, dolls, trucks, puppets, dress up clothes and puzzles were not all dumped out at once, I am learning to tolerate a bit of a mess. I am so looking forward to having just one baby to pick up after!
Running is also getting more uncomfortable, so I have almost completely switched to walking or the eliptical. I am a little sad about that, because autumn is absolutely my favorite time of the year to run, but it's also nice to take a break. Next year I will appreciate it all the more!
In non-baby news, Daniel and I were so excited to learn that our dear friends Michaela and Evan are ENGAGED!!! We can't wait to celebrate with them in the spring! This past weekend, we got to be a part of our friends Andy and Emily's wedding. What a sweet ceremony, and what a sweet couple! Congratulations to both of you couples!

Megan, you look great. I agree that naming the baby is one of the hardest and most daunting tasks pre-birth.
