end of week 32

Here's a special treat....a photo with my favorite little Halloween kitty. Still feeling pretty good. Getting a good night's rest is becoming more challenging, and Tums after dinner is becoming a nightly ritual -- but otherwise, all is great! We took a childbirth class this weekend, which was a real eye-opener. Oh well, no turning back now....My belly is now at 40 and a half inches and the belly button is sticking out a bit. More next week!

end of week 30

Wow -- I can't believe we're already in the week 30s.....that means that Tiny will be showing up (hopefully) in the next 2 months! Pretty crazy. My belly is still hovering around 39 inches and I'm continuing to feel really good. I'm particularly enjoying the periodic dance parties hosted by my little friend. This kid is a mover and a shaker. My only minor complaints are hip aches and some indigestion at bedtime, but other than that -- doing great! We're continuing to get prepared for Tiny's arrival. We finally ordered a crib, bought a kid-friendly car, decided on a pediatrician....and now for the rest of the "stuff." So much to think about these next few weeks....

Apple Picking

October 4th we went apple picking at Shelburn Farm, our favorite apple spot. Picked some great McGowens, Cortlands and Empire apples to bring home and ate a bunch along the way -- no harm in that, right? It was a fun way to spend an absolutely beautiful fall afternoon. Of course we had to say hello to the local farm animals -- with particular attention to our favorite -- goats!

Its Hard To Be A Kitty

Davis Square 5K Run

I participated in the local Somerville Homeless Coalition 5k run over the weekend of the 4th. I have to admit that I felt pretty good for the first part of the race, but lost my confidence when a 40ish father passed me on hill pushing his 5 and 3 yr olds in a stroller. Despite that, it was a beautiful day and both Sharon and I had a lot of fun.
