Yeah, there really isn't one. No contractions. Nothing. *sigh*

I've been puttering around the house all day, doing laundry and tidying a bit. Before you ask, no, I haven't been scrubbing the bathroom floor with a toothbrush.

I wanted to share a couple of belly pics with you. Check out how much more sticky-out and low my gut was on Thursday than a couple of weeks before.



I also just took pics of all of our cloth diapers. Some (ok, most) of you will find me crazy, but I know some of you are cloth diapering nuts and will appreciate browsing through my stash. Click through to get the whole set (5 pictures)




Gonna go feed the cats and then I think I'll go take a walk around the block until Megan gets home.

Look at this belly! Yowza! Lil Auber is a 2 pounder now. Hir eyes are open now too.

Here is a picture from our recent trip of Megan, myself and Carrie at Children's Pool in San Diego. Many of you may know Carrie better as TargetGirl. Before we left for our cruise, Carrie and her hubby were kind enough to put us up for the night. Carrie was a wonderful tourguide and really showed us around town. This "pool" is really a protected beach area. The humans wanted it to be for kids to play in, but the sea lions have other ideas. I guess there is a battle going on right now about whether the sea lions are going to get kicked out or not.



It was SOOOOOO great to meet Carrie (and Don). She was just as great as I thought she would be. :) Carrie and I had a lot of notes to compare because we are due on the exact same day. In this picture, we are both 17 weeks and 1 day pg. She has a doppler at her house and indulged me by letting me hear Auber's heartbeat. I didn't do a very good job of driving the doppler, but we picked out the heartbeat briefly and that was good enough for me. I have a couple of other pictures in flickr if you click through.



I have a bunch of pics from our trip to go through yet -- mostly of Martina Navratilova -- and I need to do a lot of weeding and just don't have the endurance tonight.



Megan did take a new belly pic tonight. It is up with the others. In some respects it looks quite like the others, in others, I definitely have a new sort-of sticky-outy angular part. See for yourself - http://www.hopeandmegan.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=78&Itemid=56
