9 months in pictures

During my pregnancy I took a pic every week to document my belly's growth. It was fun to look back on these pics and think about how "huge" I felt early on compared to how big I got the last few weeks. So I thought it would be fun to share a few.

In the last pic I was actually in labor, early labor, and I took the pic because I had a feeling I would have the baby that weekend and wanted to get one last pregnant photo. I'm so glad I did this throughout the pregnancy.

And here is a picture of the little monster just because. He is very excited that the Tigers are going to the post-season.

Book Reviews

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Took a tad too long to get the story rolling, I kept reading because everyone said it's a good series and I'm a weirdo who will waste my time reading a bad book just to see what happens. Turned interesting though, which is a good thing! And as a 3 part series it ended with many points unresolved which was annoying but expected.

Overall an enjoyable read with a few twists and turns that kept you guessing. I recommend it!

Book Review

I Do, Now What? by Giuliana Rancic




Eh. It was ok - I borrowed it from a friend and I wasn't overly impressed. I expected more of a story about their first years of dating/marriage. It was also very preachy, and made me think they really thought highly of themselves. The whole book was based around telling the reader how to have a great marriage. But their tips were basically "here are the things that we do and you should do them too because we're super duper awesome!!!"

Definitely not something I recommend unless you are looking for a cheesy self-help type book.
