Ready to pop

I really don't have much to write about these days other than the fact that I'm very, very, very pregnant.  My due date is one week from today...so far this little babe seems pretty cozy in there as I haven't had any real signs of labor yet.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the full moon this weekend!

I've been lucky in the fact that although late pregnancy is no walk in the park, it really hasn't been too horrible for me...I'm not working or running around after other kids and the weather hasn't been overly hot, so there isn't a whole lot for me to complain about.  On the other hand, the past month of waking up with only the tough decisions of whether to read a book, eat strawberries in the sunshine, go for a walk (or waddle at this point), take another nap, go swimming, or aimlessly shop for small baby items has not exactly made the time fly by. 

I'm really excited to meet our little one though, and just feeling very happy that I've ended up on this random Swedish island with M and our growing family.  And to make our life here even more idyllic, we and a few of our neighbors just pitched in together to buy a wood-fired cedar hot tub that M is installing next to the sauna on down by the sea right now:

I stole this photo off the internet but the one we bought is HUGE and fits ten people.  Can you say party time?
