Thirty Five Weeks

Luigi, my little honey dew, in my mind cantaloupes are bigger than honey dews, but not according to all of my baby apps. But, I digress. You are growing nice and big for sure, preparing to make your entry into this world in five weeks, or perhaps less. I have a feeling it won't be more!

Last week was a busy one. We had Monday off for the holiday weekend, and then spent the next two nights in various classes preparing for your arrival. We learned all about how to feed you. I hope we'll make a good team when it comes to that. The weekend was spent again in a mix of relaxing and house projects. I dragged Daddy to the beach one last time. He wanted to visit the beach he used to go to as a kid, which I have been reluctant to try because I've never been able to get in the water deeper than my knees at any New England beach above Cape Cod. The water is just much too cold for a girl who grew up with a heated pool in her back yard. I usually drag him down to the south coast of MA, which he will insist is Rhode Island. But trust me, there is a south coast which is not on the Cape. In any case, Nantasket Beach was beautiful, and closer to home than Horseneck. But, I was right, the water was way too cold for me...at least in early September! But, the beach is long, and flat and goes way out at low tide, so it could be a very fun place to bring you to build sandcastles. And we really enjoyed sitting in out low chairs and letting the water drift up around our legs and ankles for a few hours. It was quite lovely, even if I didn't make it all the way into the water.

On Sunday, Daddy had an outdoor day, putting finishing touches on the shed under the deck and repairing a few windows. The shed is almost ready for him to fill it up with stuff taking over the garage so that I can finally park my car in there again, and we will be able to get you into the car without having to go outside when it is cold. I spent most of the day working on your room, opening up gear, putting away clothes, doing more laundry, and creating some art to hang on your walls. I hope you like zoo animals little man. I don't think you have much choice at this point!

In case I haven't mentioned it before, since I've gotten so terrible at posting photos with my weekly updates, I created a page for to put all the bump shots in one place. It's kind of fun to see the progression all at once, if you're interested.
