Another Quick Update

Hi all: I can't believe I am already at 26 weeks!! Here are some highlights from the last few weeks:
-Had my dr's appointment today and everything still looks great, my weight gain and all other numbers are all looking perfect.
- Will have my glucose test on Tuesday to check for gestational diabetes.
- We sold our townhouse (closed on Aug 15) and moved into our new house on Aug 11. Things are still a mess, we still have a ton of unpacking to do, and the kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities are still not installed (should be another month---yuck).
- I went on my last plane ride until I become a mama. Had a lovely time in NYC where I got to celebrate Ana's bachelorette, and had a great shower with the Williams girls. And saw my friend Patrick and lovely wife Marilyn, and Agnish got to hang with his buddies sudeep and sujal. It was a great weekend.
-We're off this weekend for our "babymoon" to the Inn at Langley in Whidbey Island. I can't wait for a nice vacation!

Hope everyone else is enjoying a nice end of the summer. I can't believe how quickly time is passing, I start teaching in 2 weeks!!

Greetings from Philadelphia (and long awaited belly pics)

Hi everyone, Just a quick hello and update on the craziness that is our lives....in no particular order:
- Last doctor's visit went very well, I am right on schedule with weight gain, baby growth, etc. Yay!
- Our townhouse passed inspection and appraisal, so it looks like we are really moving on August 11 (this Saturday). We are both so sad to be leaving our neighbors, as they are all similarly aged couples with lots of new babies. We feel like we are being exiled to the suburbs!
- The new house is coming along superbly; we are really in the home stretch. We'll be living for a few weeks in the new house without the kitchen countertops (and therefore the sinks,and therefore the dishwasher), but other than that, we should be fine. I'll post pictures soon.
-Agnish is in SF and I am in Philadelphia, both for our respective jobs.
- I've had LOTS & LOTS of auntie time this week:
*just saw my new nephew in PA, and he is adorable (only 1 month old, so very good practice for in a few months)
*Also spent a week with my other nieces & nephews--Chloe who just turned 1 will gave us lots of practice for what our lives will be like in a year and a half, Jules who is 9 showed us what to expect in a decade, and Michael who is 14 gave us a glimpse into what the pre-teen years with a boy will be like!!

And, as EVERYONE has asked for (very politely and very persistently) what you really all seem to care about is the physical spectacle that I have become....so without further ado, here are some pictures of me (and more importantly) my belly, with the distractions of our family visit to Seattle/Vancouver as well.
