Month of Bumps (33-36 weeks)

We are cruising right along, baby boy!

Lately I've been going to store where little boy outfits catch my eye and fill my heart. I can't wait to hold you in my arms and cuddle you. You already strike me as the cuddling, loving type- I hope I'm right :)

This month is a BUSY one with the August Birthdays (Abigail, mine, and Dad's), but next month will be all about you and George! We've had such a hot summer, so I'm really looking forward to some Fall weather; a time of snuggling up and getting to know you.

While you were in a transverse position last month, you are head down now, so that's one less thing to worry about. There was however a little glitch in your heart rate at your last appointment, so I was hooked up for a NST to make sure everything was fine.

Usually I have a small cup of coffee in the morning with breakfast, but on the morning of your appointment I had slept in, eaten a quick breakfast with my coffee before leaving, then immediately had the doppler scan. My OB (who I just love, by the way!) knew almost immediately that caffeine had caused it, but just to be safe, we did a non stress test, and everything went back to normal within a few minutes, as she predicted it would.

Phew!

But it did scare me enough to cut down to half-calf for my morning cup. And as luck would have it, the acidity in coffee has been unappealing these past few days, so I've started avoiding coffee naturally.

Funny how that works!

I do however love an iced tea with lemon for lunch (which is exactly what I'm sipping on as I type!)

In other news, George and I picked up your car seat last week, and both Grandma and Mamie have offered to help watch your brother and sister over the next couple of weeks, so I'm starting to feel that while I don't have anything organized YET, I am getting there.

I've been feeling lots of pressure and what seems to be progress these past few days, and if I had to wager a bet, I'd say you'll be early or right on time. We'll see!

One more month (or less) (or more!), little man :)

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound. Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Cocina Esperanza

Just had to give a shout out to our new restaurant find! Kevin and I were driving around the Sunset Hill / Blue Ridge neighborhoods last weekend and came upon this little Mexican restaurant. A very unassuming place...small brick building near the corner of NW 85th & 30th Ave (right next to the north entrance of Golden Garden's and Shilshole Bay Marina). We finally got around to checking it out late last week, and oh boy, have we been missing out!! Now, any of you who know me, know I'm a self proclaimed Mexican food connoisseur...and by connoisseur, I mean boarder line obsessive. I love all things Mexican cuisine...especially melted cheese. So I should admit; their whole "authentic" label had me a bit apprehensive ...."will there be enough melted cheese on my food??" was sadly my first thought (hey, I'm pregnant...give a girl a break!) So, late last week, we wandered in, found a nice table by the window, ordered t...

Two!

Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day. This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love. Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day. Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ). You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a...

First Comes Love...
