The snow has arrived. It's an odd feeling these days. I haven't been trekking down to the barns to do chores, I am just too BIG!
I miss the smell of the barn, and the livestock. I wonder if they miss me - and if they will remember me when I finally return.
I only have 4 more weeks to go, but I so swollen that I will be leaving work early.
Another odd ending. I haven't been away from work for more that 2 weeks in over 25 years. It will feel like an odd extended vacation I am sure! So many changes.
And one important new beginning.

Oh my poor feet
My feet are puffy. They now resemble bread loaves. Queer puffy bread loaves. It's awful. I can't wear shoes and have resorted to wearing crocs to work. Hardly a fashion statement! Especially with a business suit. But it's either that or slippers, I am not sure which is worse.
By end of day my feet are so swollen that I am quite certain they could burst - silly idea right? Impossible you say? I am not so sure!

A mmmoomarvellous Halloween
Halloween was days away, and I couldn't find a costume. I was becoming frantic as we has decided to attend a party.
What to go as to a Halloween party when you are 7 months pregnant? I am not the confident type who is willing to sport some daring skimpy midriff showing costume. My bump wasn't feeling that confident.
I felt like such a heifer - hormones I know but I have been feeling enormous these days.
Then it hit me! If I feel like a cow...
It was good for a laugh - and good for my soul to embrace my new shape!

Finding a use for old things
I think it's the pregnancy, but I am definitely more addicted to Pintrest than usual. Some would say I am "nesting".
Regardless, it has led to some fantastic projects finally getting done. I have replaced a number of the window coverings in the house, and am finally putting to use many of the amazing auction finds that I have been collecting.
I have a wonderful old trunk, and have been scratching my head with what to do with it. It's too far gone in terms of refurbishment - but then I saw a painted trunk on Pintrest. I hadn't thought to paint it!
I posted this photo to my instagram, so apologies for the bad photo quality - but I think it came out quite good!
