hurricane irene

i not so creatively substituted IRENE for Elieen to dexy's midnight runner's song & have walked around the past 4 days singing "come on Irene". while everyone else around me was panicking because of the storm, i was crossing my fingers that it would bring in enough low pressure to send me into labor.  another weather theory failure.

my spin class was canceled this morning & it's too dangerous to run in this wind/rain so philip & i walked the mall.  we wandered aimlessly from store to store until we were bored. we of course picked up a few adorable things for addison to wear in the fall & some gourmet doggie treats for hampton.  

we also made a stop by the cupcake shoppe & shared a yummy lemon drop cupcake...i love the atmosphere of that place.

this baby girl is definitely going to come when she is ready & clearly isn't going to be influenced by full moon, new moon (tomorrow) theories, or low pressure theories as a result of weather i.e. earthquakes or hurricanes.
