Here I am at 29 weeks!! Crazy to think that Libby will be here sometime in the next 8-13 wees!! Kind of a big range but we know how babies have their own timing. :) Like I read on another blog, its kind of like preparing for a surprise party for someone but you don't know when they're going to arrive!
We're getting pretty excited but we still have a ways to go. My mom's babies were either a little early or on time but I don't know what that means for me. I'm hoping she comes right around her due date because my mom is planning on coming and I want her here! Unfortunately, she can't come for a whole month so we're just going to have to make a guess.
Oh and you might notice the lovely preggers acne I have going right now. Apparently I don't have the pregnancy 'glow' that so many are blessed to enjoy. Got any suggestions? I've been washing my face 2-3 times a day and doing a mask or scrub every couple of days. I'm willing to try anything!!
Less than a week until Amy and Nathan come and two days after they leave I'm following them back to the great state of TEXAS. I'm going to be gone for 10 days and am going to be in DFW, Austin, and the Houston area. Yippiee!! And my dear friends and family are being so generous as to throw a few showers for me so that will be fun. Kind of a baby party/reunion! Its really a good excuse to get everyone together and eat cake. :) I know I'll have a blast but I'm really going to miss poor Tim. I say poor Tim because I hope he survives. Tim has a the 'unfortunate' problem of forgetting to eat unless food is placed fully-prepared in front of him. So I'm going to be busy the next week prepping and cooking all of his favorites that can be easily frozen so he can just pull them out and heat them up. I'll probably still have to remind him every day though. :) I think its the engineer in him. I'm sure we'll both survive but I am going to miss him a ton!! However, it will be a blast to see all my dear Texas friends and family!! There's just something about Texas, no other place is like it! I think I'll cry when I fly into DFW. Anyway, we'll be back for good before we know it. :)
One more note before I sign off...Tim and I are playing against each other in our Fantasy Football League and I'M KICKING HIS BUTT!!! :D Heeheehee!! I'm the only girl and I got most points last week and it looks like I'll get that again this week. Loads of fun. :) Have a great week!!

I know it sounds crazy as all get out, but have you considered the oil cleansing method (OCM)? It helps a lot of women. I wrote a post about it here: http://wholesomegoodness.net/2008/09/10/wfmw-natural-skin-care-regimen/
And here's a great website devoted exclusively to it: http://www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/
Bonus? It's dirt cheap!
Justice is SO like Tim in that way! He frequently forgets to eat. Good grief. I feel like a nag asking him all the time if he took his snacks to work. "Did you eat all your food today, Honey?" I kind of wish I had that problem. Then again, I'd probably pass out from low blood sugar, so it wouldn't be such a good thing after all.
I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks!
So cute!!! Can't wait to see that belly. :)
That's great that you get to take a little vacation before Libby comes. Come to APC if you can while you're in Arlington! (And you have to see baby Abe!)
Wow! That looks awesome, Alison! I had read that on your blog a few weeks ago but promptly forgot about it. I will have to give it a shot. Too bad I was at Whole Foods today. Its a bit of a drive for us now but I'll bet I can find the caster oil somewhere else. I really want to give it a shot!
Aren't our guys crazy? I'm convinced its an engineer thing. I do the same thing when we talk throughout the day. Also, if I don't put his lunch in his hand as he's walking out the door he always forgets it!!
Can't wait to see you either!!
Cute little preggers!!! Yeah...everything I know for acne is probably unsafe for you right now...hmmm...I will do some research. Seeing as how I am unemployed right now, I have the time in between cleaning/organizing ;0)
I can't for you to get down here!!! I will either drive to DFW or Magnolia (is that right??) and meet you for baby shower.
1st of all, i love that al and you comment on each other's blogs...i need to start blogging again if for no other reason then to join that party. 2nd of all, who am i kidding? i won't blog.
3rd of all, you look darn cute in acne and with a belly and as far as the Hartlands are concerned...acne = glowing.
i love you and especially your acne!
Its been 2 years Susan!! Well, nearly. You should write again, I love your blog posts. And yes, I am secretly stealing all of your friends. Cuz you have AWESOME friends!! ;)
hooray for showers and cake! :O) your little belly is so cute. did i mention to be sure and get her pics taken soon after she's born? yeah i didn't realize they look so different so fast, if i could go back i'd have had his pics done at like 2 or 3 weeks! he is adorable but not looking like that newborn baby in the pics i had done? anyway that was a random thought for ya...see you soon!
Aw you look great! I love how your dog is posing too. Lol!
Hormones are fun in so many ways. With my skin it clears up if I leave it alone. No creams,just hand wash in shower no soap, no makeup and no picking! So you may just want to try the OCM.
Oh please... you are still super cute!
When I had pimples in my teens, nowhere near as cute.. trust me...
Wow your getting BIG!
I hate to break it too you, but I have watched labor. It is nothing like a suprise party. It seemed to me more like a cross between the movie Aliens, and the part in Brave Heart where he is drawn and quartered. I like the positive outlook though. Keep up the good work.

Todd, that is SO disgusting! Although it sounds like it must be pretty accurate. EEEwwww.
Don't worry Stace. You're going to be great. I love the picture and can't wait to see you in person!
