What fall leaves look like to me. and my 26 week old bump.

During the fall, I always wish I can whip my phone out whenever I drive around and just take videos of all the beautiful trees that are all over this lovely Connecticut town. But alas, phones are outlawed whilst driving here annnnnnnd I would also probably kill myself if I attempted driving/filming at the same time. I barely make it out alive just doing the driving part by itself most of the time. So, I snapped some shots at red lights today on the sly. And here's the thing. Every year when the leaves start to turn, I always get this association in my brain with the colors of the leaves and my favorite sugary snack. Yes. I am THAT obsessed with food. I think the early phases of fall leaves look EXACTLY like the Color by the Foot flavor or Fruit by the Foot. I will illustrate:

Article 1: Fruit by the Foot.

Article 1a: Some personal snapshots of Fruit by the Foot

Article 2: Some leaves outside my house

Juxtaposition. Now you tell me if those aren't the same color scheme!!!

Britney's mind is just as blown as yours!!!!!!!!!!! also....I made this GIF all by myself!!!!!!

I have wanted to tell someone that for a long time! And now it is finally off my chest! I just felt like I couldn't do it properly without the visual. I feel better.

Now for the bump pictures. Let me just say that I put off taking bump pictures as lonnnnnng as possible. I don't usually like taking pictures of myself and I HATE having pictures taken of me when it's just me. I feel like an absolute dork. But since I started taking le bump pics (around 20 weeks?) it's really helped me focus on the fun and positive parts of pregnancy. So even though I worry that it makes me look like an attention ho, I think I'll be glad I documented this time of my life somewhere down the line. So there we go. Here I am at almost 26 weeks:


I wish she would just get here already!!!!! I am so jealous when I see everyone holding their newborns in their arms!! 14 weeks is an eternity away!!!!! Childbirth classes start in a couple weeks, can't wait to see what that will be like.....yikes. That could make for some interesting blogging.....

Anyhoo! Bradley and I are now going to take our change from my recently emptied piggy bank and buy us up some moobies!!! (movies.) Our temple plans for the evening got de-railed tonight when rain/traffic made getting to the city a way longer ordeal than time would allow. Boo. Ah well. Next week. Ttfn! Ta ta for now!
