Trick or Treat? How about BABY?

On this evening before Halloween, all I have on my mind is: (you guessed it) BABY! 
I am 25 days shy of my due date now, and the time seems to be crawling by when it comes to baby related things. I just want to meet her already! The time is not going slowly when it comes to deadlines and due dates for school. Whew, I shouldn't even be posting on the blog right now, I have social welfare policy homework and discussion questions to come up with along with carving lino for my newest print ideas... BUT  I just couldn't let another month go by with only one post.  

I also just watched some very sad, but important videos related to rape and to women's rights. I will post the links on here because I think they are important for people to see. We can't just sweep problems under the rug or not talk about them because it makes us uncomfortable. I almost wish I had another year left of school so I could add a Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies minor to my degree. 

I am currently intrigued with my soc class I am taking this term, going into it, it sounded interesting, but I didn't know how much I would like it and want to start becoming involved. It is called Social Welfare Policy and our country clearly needs help and reforms. That is all that I will say on that for now. 

Well this is a short post, but I really should get my homework done. 

Here are the links! Please take the time and watch them. 






And one last one, with a different approach, but equally important! 



Have a good night and happy trick or treating tomorrow :)

The Month of October

Well today I am 34 weeks, only a couple more and then she could be here at any time really. School, work, homework, and getting ready for baby are the things that dominate my life right now. I try to see Clark too, but we have such opposite schedules it's hard sometimes. We live for those magical days when we might get to spend at least half of the day together.

It needs to be said, He is the greatest husband and friend. I am very lucky to have him, even if I get frustrated sometimes. I love him dearly, and I am so very excited to be having a little girl with him. It's pretty darn amazing!

I cannot believe Halloween is just around the corner! I haven't figured out if I'm dressing up, but I want to go to the haunted houses and corn mazes that's for sure!

Not much to say right now... my brain is feeling a bit mushy haha :)

So I will leave off with some photos! They're the best part of blogs anyways.
