s awesome.
Jenna!!! Congrats!!! I hadn’t been on your blog in some time- Long story- crazy job and sleepless nights, but now I changed jobs and my life is back to normal. Anywho, I almost fell out of my chair when I saw your post. I am so happy for you. I wish you all the best!
Oh man, I’m sorry you had a crazy job time–doesn’t sound like fun! I’m glad to hear things are back to normal though. =)
I feel for you and your hubby with the photographing sessions-I totally understand your frustration b/c you can’t help him and you need him to do it well. But he did take some really great shots of you, even if it took a while. All the pictures you’ve been sharing are beautiful. I can’t believe you’re already in your fifth month. I look more pregnant than you without having a baby inside me! lol Sorry to have contributed to another emotional fiasco with my blog today–I’ll try to keep it more upbeat but that was on my mind so it just came out. Glad for your good sleep, your returning love for all food, and that you can wear your skinny jeans again! Enjoy it while you can. 😉
Hey, don’t apologize for your amazing post! It was heartfelt and beautiful even if it did bring on the tears.
Oh, Sweetie – crying when you’re pregnant is just like sweating. It’s a totally automatic, uncontrollable thang. Carry tissues and cut yourself plenty of slack – you’re doing great! Love you – xxxooo
Thanks Laura–and noted on the tissue front.
Loving the updates! And patience, my dear. If you were showing already, you’d be pretty huge at the end of your pregnancy. Or you’d be having twins or triplets or something.
Saw you commented on my friend Liz’s blog. They just had their third child. Do you know her or just follow her blog? Either way, cool beans
Looking forward to more updates!
From what I’ve seen, most first time mama’s don’t tend to POP until five months…so you’ve got a few more weeks to go before the belly explosion of 2012! I can’t wait cause i know how happy it’ll make you! And then your husband will just have to worry about focusing the camera on your belly, which will be so big that it won’t even be a problem at all! Myopia or not.
I spent all of last week crying over totally abnormal things and there’s not even a chance that I’m pregnant! so..hmm. that probably just means I’m psychotic. Ignore that.
<3 you!
Awww Jenna, what a sweet post! You look amazing and I have to say, despite your husband’s photography challenges, he managed an absolutely, dare I say, glowing picture of you.
I’m looking forward to hearing whether it’s a boy or a girl.ESSEX residents have delivered a snub to those pushing for expansion at Stansted Airport, insisting that protection of the environment is far more important than any financial benefits.
The verdict of county council's citizens' panel, commissioned to ensure that council policy remains in tune with the feelings and concerns of the local community, was welcomed last night by campaigners opposed to growth at the airport.
But airport operators BAA have also said they welcomed the findings of the survey, which found the drive to increase capacity at the airport was both "needed and wanted".
Although half the 1,300 residents questioned agreed that expansion of the airport would benefit the economy of the county, 69% said the "protection of the countryside, environment and Essex communities are more important than increasing the number of flights from Stansted".
A bigger Stansted Airport is also expected to generate more car and rail journeys and most residents questioned were concerned that the current transport infrastructure would be insufficient to cope with increased usage.
Nearly four-fifths (79%) agreed with the statement that: "An expanded Stansted would require more road and rail links to allow passengers to travel to and from the airport."
Lord Hanningfield, the Conservative leader of Essex County Council, welcomed the results of the research carried out by MORI.
He said: "This shows just how much people in Essex value quality of life available here. We have been determined to protect our environment from excessive development and I am delighted that the county council's actions have been so closely in tune with the wishes of Essex people.
"Over coming years, the county council will be fighting to ensure a proper balance is struck between economic development and the protection of one of the most attractive environments in England."
The survey was one of a series, funded jointly by Essex County Council and Essex Police, with each individual survey costing about £30,000.
In this latest one, 1,300 people of all ages and backgrounds and from all parts of the county were quizzed. As well as questions about Stansted, they were asked about more general themes such as waste disposal and policing issues.
The findings were welcomed by protest group Stop Stansted Expansion, although it queried even the economic viability of expansion.
Campaign director Carol Barbone said: "The economic case for expanding Stansted is highly dubious, resting not only on the need for cross-subsidy from Heathrow and Gatwick but also a raft of tax exemptions for the aviation industry.
"Also in doubt is the likelihood of proper funding to put in place the rail links which would be needed to cope with a fourfold increase in airport passengers if expansion went ahead. It is little wonder that the people of Essex regard BAA's plans with such suspicion."
Last night a spokesman for BAA at Stansted Airport said: "Our initial reaction to the survey results is good news.
"The people of Essex, whose opinions matter, agree that expansion is needed and wanted.
"We clearly recognise our responsibility to the environment and economy and very shortly will be talking to the community on this very subject."
A Government aviation White Paper published last in December 2003 supported the idea of a second runway at Stansted Airport.
Regional businessmen and industry have broadly welcomed the move and earlier this year Prime Minister Tony Blair stressed the second runway was vital to ensure economic growth.
But many residents are opposed to the plan, claiming it would have a devastating impact on the environment. They claim scores of homes would be lost and swathes of countryside destroyed.FPI 4844 is a plastic transparent tube for your ferret's fun and exercise.

This is exactly why CU should be fined, so they take more responsibility over their students impacting the rest of the community. It just creates a financial incentive for the university to be more assertive about dealing with their part of this public health problem. I see very little difference between giving CU fines and giving restaurants fines for letting people be irresponsible while congregating. There is no "the man", but CU policy does impact us. I'm not arguing for dictating how the campus deals with students, only holding it accountable for bad behavior enabled by keeping the campus open.

You could argue the city could raise the fines for students, that would be great. E.g. last I checked the most recent fines were $30/student. It's perfectly reasonable to hold these kids accountable for their actions. In no way am I arguing against that. For the most part we all have agency.HomeSportsT20 World Cup 2022 Final: Changes in rules before Pakistan-England final, how...
