Bun in the Oven!

In case you missed it somehow because you read blogs but not Facebook or email (or maybe you don't know us, in which case, WELCOME!):

What we shared on Facebook.

We're due right around the end of December, so we're looking at a little Christmas baby!  Which was unintentional, by the way.  When I realized it, I was like, "ooohhhhh...."  I was focused on getting pregnant, not when the baby would be born!  Whatever happens, he/she is sure to be the best Christmas gift ever!

And, speaking of he/she, to answer the second question everyone asks, no, we are not finding out the sex.  There are so few good surprises in life, we want to be surprised.

We hope to keep updating this latest project on the blog, as well as some of our other ones!  Yes, I still need to finish Germany, and yes, we planted a garden that I would like to tell you about.  At 12 weeks, I hear that more energy for me is right around the corner...I hope.

For now, enjoy some outtakes from our "Bun in the Oven" photo shoot:

We tried looking like we were patiently (or not-so-patiently) waiting.

Our eager anticipation started to look a little like crazy.  I'm guessing this will be me closer to December?

And, of course, obligatory hand-heart belly shot:

With the bun, of course.

Slow by Little: Is that even a phrase?

Well, I said it, so it obviously meets the criteria for being a phrase in the grammatical sense.  Or a fragment, at any rate.  My husband and brother swear, however, that it is an actual adage, something to say when it's taking you awhile to get something done.  For example, "I'm putting a new bathroom in the house, slow by little."

If you're like me, as you read that phrase, you kinda squinted and thought something like, "Isn't that 'little by little?"  Kevin and I have had this argument a dozen times.  He admits to "little by little" being a common phrase, but insists that "slow by little" is one, too.  I did a little research using The Google, and if you search "slow by little," you come up with some partial song lyrics, and now, hopefully, this blog, but that's about it.  Not a real saying.
