  • Wow! That's amazing. I can't believe the end of pregnancy is so close for you guys. Try and get out for dates these next few weeks. L and I started making sure we fit in a weekly date night around this time. It was something to look forward if I was still pregnant the next week and something that we have missed having regularly since having Oliver. Oh, and go see a movie in the theater or drive in.... You will be watching them at home for awhile. ;)
