Thirty One Weeks

I had this past week off from work, my little head of lettuce, and it was wonderful! I spent the beginning of the week running errands, attending a few appointments, getting a pedicure and taking afternoon naps. It was quite awesome, and I didn't miss work one little bit. Daddy ended up coming home early on Wednesday and we had a very productive visit to Ikea, where we picked up most of the rest of the furniture items we needed for your room including a bookcase, a changing table, some wall shelves, a lamp, curtain rods, and we stumbled on a pillow case with blue and green stripes that was just meant to be in your room.

On Thursday, we loaded up the car and headed down to the Cape to catch the ferry to Martha's Vineyard for a long weekend. This was the first time we took our car on the ferry, and it actually worked out great. It gives me great hope for the future vacations we will take together. I'm sure that someday, if not even next summer, we will rent a house there for a week and spend lots of time at the beach. You and I spent a lot of time in the water this weekend. I even floated around for an hour one afternoon in the rain. It was still warm, and I was already wet, so why not, right? I was trying to embrace a saying I saw in one of the shops..."Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain." Being in the ocean feels so good right now. It was hot and humid, so aside from the water relieving the weight of you in my belly, the water kept me nice and cool. Luigi, I really can't wait to take you to the beach next summer! I really hope you love it as much as I do!
