And yet a third productive day! yey!! Got a lot lot done today and I am happy to feel like I’m making a lot of progress on accomplishing things I want to do before the little one arrives.
Not much else to write today. Except: Happy Birthday Michelle!! Love you.
Another wonderful day. The worst part of today was the totally crazy swelling I have on my ankles and feet. With David, my feet never swelled. But now, they are three times their actual size. Ugh.
A quiet-ish day at home today. Mom and I figured out a bunch more errands, I am washing the last of the baby’s clothes and I think we’re pretty much set now. I am officially getting nervous about labor too so I guess it’s getting close now.
It’s been really really hot here which doesn’t help with the sweating and swelling. But I think it’s going to start getting cooler tomorrow so I am looking forward to that. Thankfully.
Here’s a snapshot of the sunset I caught on the way home from dinner tonight. Magnificent.
A long but wonderful day today. I woke up at 1:30am and couldn’t go back to sleep. I made a whole bunch of calls to overseas and then worked for a while and tried to go back to sleep at 4:30am but then David decided to wake up at 6am so in the end there was almost no sleep most of the night. It’s unbelievably hot here and I am melting so that doesn’t help either.
But it was a productive and great day despite all that. We dropped David at school, went to run Apple stored errands, and then spent a long time at a little cafe in Palo Alto. We then cooled off at the hotel and went to our afternoon appointment. We then rented my mom a car and I finally came back home.
I then found out David has pooped in the toilet! It may sound odd but it’s a big deal in our house for a long story I won’t get into here. But that’s why he is getting to eat a popsicle here. Big big deal.
So all in all, a fantastic day.
Officially on my last week of pregnancy now. Quite amazing. Here’s me with swollen lips, stained face and neck, and a huge belly. What do you think? Boy or girl?
I downloaded Ali’s digital elements for the first time. I love these frames. Aren’t they pretty?
Another fantastic day. Didn’t get any art done so far but I did do a whole bunch of the chores I had setup. I caught up in my 365 binder. I posted creative therapy. I cleaned up a bit. I caught up on my blog. Got some pregnant photos taken and cleaned up some of the Tivo. Maybe will get to do some art before we have to leave to pickup my mom.
I woke up at 4am again and didn’t go back to sleep this time. So I took a nap even. I am officially one week away from this little one’s due date. Quite amazing. Long as it was, it all went so quickly. While I took my nap, David played quietly in the living room and here are some of his creations. He is such a wonderful kid and so good at playing with toys.
Happy Sunday!
Catalyst 58 is: What’s your favorite word? Why?
Here are my words:
I was going to pick Family or Love. Honestly, those words are what make me coziest and warmest inside but I wanted to pick something different from last week so I decided to go with Euphoria. I hadn’t heard of that word until college (Just to be fair, English is my second language.) and as soon as I heard it, I felt happy. To me, it is one of those words that suits its meaning so well. So I love that word.
As I mentioned, we went bowling yesterday. It was David’s first time and the ball was so heavy, he couldn’t lift it even if he tried.
So he rolled it down the lane.
And then did a little dance at his great performance.
And then waited for the ball to come back.
When it did, there was much rejoicing.
And the final score. Considering Jake’s score, not bad at all for David’s first time.
And a few of Jake and David from yesterday’s shot. Here’s the other one:
This is the longest Jake’s beard and hair have ever been since we’ve been together. So the longest in fifteen years. I love him so:
Two beautiful photos from yesterday’s shot. Here’s the other one:
Since I am 39-weeks pregnant, my face and lips are all swollen and I have the staining which makes me look so tan even though I am not at all.
A truly wonderful Saturday. We went bowling early in the day and had a lot of fun. I didn’t bowl but took some fun photos which I will post next. We then got some more Subway and came back home to take some family photos which is when we took the above shot. I’ll post the others separately.
David then went down for his nap and I did a few upcoming catalysts. Did a bunch of coordinaton and organization for the next few weeks. I am trying to get ready for the baby as much as I can. I know it’s all going to be unpredictable and I am ok with that but I’d like to finish off as many loose ends as possible.
When David woke up, he and Jake went out to the park and I rested a bit and next thing we know it was time to eat, watch some TV and go to bed. All in all, a truly wonderful day.
As promsed, a quiet day today. The cramps seem to have quieted down, thankfully.
The only thing we did today was to take a little walk in the neighborhood and go to subway for another yummy sandwich. Otherwise, it was a TV and rest day. Isn’t the little boy so cute? I wonder how similar he and the little baby will be? Is he or she also going to look like Daddy?
I will leave you with a flower photo I took outside, aren’t you glad it’s not a tulip?
I am sorry, I don’t know why I keep falling behind lately. Today was a long day of a lot of errands for us. It started with a doctor’s appointment. I am only 2cm dilated and around 50% effaced so there’s still a while to go for the little one. We then ran a bunch more errands and then went to Subway. I seem to be completely addicted to the chicken fillet sandwiches there lately and crave them every single day.
We then came home and were both wiped so took naps and then woke up and went back out. After finishing off a really important errand, we finally decided to celebrate this very productive day with some ice cream. David ate this relatively gross one and I had some chocolate ice cream with bananas. Yum.
Probably due to the doctor’s appointment and the hectic day, but I had some crampy contractions today. The kind that signifies labor. So tomorrow’s going to be a quiet day at home just to make sure.
