Life has been a bit hectic for the Carlsons, however. Erika started her fall classes this past week while continuing to work part-time and teach classes. We've also been getting a head start on the moving process - packing up the back office and guest room (certainly making room for BABY things!) in attempts to make our impending move run as smoothly as possibly (yeah right!). Although we're both saddened to be moving from Arlington, we realize that we have so many things to look forward to (hello, baby!) so we are trying to be as positive and optimistic about our move to Reston as possible. Plus, we've been busy working with a contractor who will be completely renovating our Reston kitchen (and parts of the bathroom) and painting the entire condo. So, with a brand new kitchen, it will be a nice welcome for us when we move in at the beginning of November. We just picked out the floor and backsplash tile which wraps up the many decisions involved in kitchen renovation (appliances, cabinets, granite, etc, etc).
But regardless of the move and school, we both can't stop thinking about becoming parents so soon and are most anxious to meet our little one! Here are a few picture updates of Erika's belly, at or around 34/35 weeks. Since these pictures, Tim swears the belly got bigger in a 24 hour period so we'll just have to take another set of pictures soon to see it!
