With a long weekend and the weather finally shifting to fall, this week has treated me alright. There’s really not much to update except that college football season is finally here! It’s kind of weird not have a beer in hand while watching the game, but I’ll live. Of course I don’t know how it will work out, but I’m pretty pumped that Iris is due during the one week that the Razorbacks have off. It’s just known around these parts that you don’t schedule anything for game days. Seriously. If you live in Fayetteville, you plan weddings, baby showers, and everything else around the football schedule. And now, it appears I’ve planned my baby by that rule too.

Not surprisingly, sleep is the roughest thing for me at 34 weeks. I’m always uncomfortable and of course I’m waking up every two hours to pee or to stretch my legs. During the day I feel Iris’ super strong movements. The cute little kicks have turned into me saying “ouch” more often than not. She also gets the hiccups every day, but thankfully those haven’t lost their charm just yet.

More than anything, I can’t believe how fast the time has flown by. Now that we’re in September, I can officially say that next month – I’ll have a baby.
And a beer.
