married w/out kids

at 39 weeks... mom is flying in tomorrow (countdown continues...)

i wanted to remind myself of some of the wonderful memories chris & i made during the 9 months we were expecting you baby, because it would be nice to be reminded later when life before you becomes a distant memory and it's hard to remember what it was like to be married without kids ;) heh

our "babymoon" to Iceland (babymoon in quotes because we didn't intend for it to be a babymoon, but when we found out about you, we saw little reason to change plans previously made-- it was always my intention for us to continue to explore the world as a married couple, it just took longer to plan and execute a trip that is solely for us (not a trip for family or friends) than when we were single. But we did it! (Pictures of some of the highlights from our trip).

Relaxing in the famous Blue Lagoon spa
