I handed the camera to the professor, stepped in front of the light, and we captured this silhouette. In many ways it seems an appropriate image for this point in the journey...<br /><br />Thirty-six weeks, not much longer to wait. I can see the sun starting to dip to the west and the shadows lengthening... the sun will set on this pregnancy before too long. I'm looking forward to holding my <a href="http://www.modobjectathome.com/2010/02/last-night-i-dreamed-that-baby-sister.html">dreamed of</a> baby girl and kissing her warm, downy head. Yet, there is a bit further to go, a few more weeks to savor baby kicks, a little while longer to watch the play of light. Sunsets are beautiful, the one that is approaching will be grand, and the subsequent sunrise... full of joy and bright hope!</div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09687272618188063178' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09687272618188063178' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Christian - Modobject@Home</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://modobjectathome.blogspot.com/2010/03/shadows-lengthen.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://modobjectathome.blogspot.com/2010/03/shadows-lengthen.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2010-03-13T13:30:00-06:00'>1:30 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1489900127'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=6407978791304164065&postID=6548976729561565774&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://modobjectathome.blogspot.com/search/label/expecting' rel='tag'>expecting</a>, <a href='http://modobjectathome.blogspot.com/search/label/thinking' rel='tag'>thinking</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Wednesday, March 10, 2010</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHsl4V8Zb3j9qO4uEdaCn58HQFQP17-gJMgjV_JTSB_H6bOVHkRtl34EMA0YeluTZ0CaRpSIYP5_H4S2OYrnA11EMk61uS2KoBi-qTywCRGpU5yTA5nxlvmIn0vbXwcEfXmgF4Nq6rq0k/s800/DSC_0665.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='6407978791304164065' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='5969624060406349078' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='5969624060406349078'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://modobjectathome.blogspot.com/2010/03/lone-leaf.html'>A Lone Leaf</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-5969624060406349078' itemprop='description articleBody'> <center><br /></center><center><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/oAato96leQPa7kg2gfDhbg?authkey=Gv1sRgCL_ewrfnsY2gIA&feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHsl4V8Zb3j9qO4uEdaCn58HQFQP17-gJMgjV_JTSB_H6bOVHkRtl34EMA0YeluTZ0CaRpSIYP5_H4S2OYrnA11EMk61uS2KoBi-qTywCRGpU5yTA5nxlvmIn0vbXwcEfXmgF4Nq6rq0k/s800/DSC_0665.jpg" /></a></center><br /><div>Little Brother and I ventured through the rain for Bible study this morning.

Clearly it's been a while since we've had an infant in the house. I seem to have forgotten about all the <i>little</i> necessities {like Tylenol drops} that we'll want to have on hand... so I started a list. But I'm still feeling kind of spacey about it all.

I guess it is.</div><div><br /></div><div>If we hadn't just stuffed ourselves with pizza at <a href="http://www.firstpizza.com/">Lombardi's</a> we would've stepped right in and sampled rice pudding, but alas we were full, very full.
