a year ago today...

I was pregnant. And bitter. Today was A's due date. And after being told week upon week that I could go any minute...there I was, still pregnant. And huge. This picture was taken in August, about a month before I was due.
Today is also E and A's friend Maura's 3rd birthday. Maura and E are beach buddies -- they've spent every New Year's together in Ocean City along with their friend Isabel, and they've been to the Outer Banks twice together. Happy birthday, Maura!
