On Friday I took the day off work and we went with Helen, Elizabeth (my friend living in Sweden) and August (her two month old) to the Museum of Fine Arts to see the El Greco/Valazquez exhibit. We even found street parking and he was a calm baby the whole time. You should have seen the 3 of us trying to figure out how to put August in the car seat and how to assemble his Urban Jungle baby carriage. The looks I got in the museum when I wheeled that around with my giant belly were quite funny. It has also been interesting hearing about the differences between how Swedes raise their babies and how we do in the U.S. (one key - they use less stuff). Below is a picture of the childhood friends with me.
I got home around 4:45 pm and immediately took a nap. Meanwhile my friend JerseyGirl (who has her own blog of course!) went with Husband to the grocery store and she made us some dishes to put in our freezer for after the kids are born including turkey meatloaf, mash potatoes and baked ziti with her famous marinara sauce. She is a bundle of energy - she was up later than me on Saturday night and is out taking a walk right now while I blog from my desk. Have I mentioned she has 2 boys (3.5 years and 17 months) and is a fitness instructor in her spare time?
We had a mini GW reunion where T, Gret (author of Dandelion Garden), JerseyGirl and one of Gret's friends who recently moved to the area (and is about 6 months along) went to dinner in the North End. During dinner I remembered this desert place I saw on the Phantom Gourmet that has cupcakes that get injected with ice cream. We thought injected cupcakes sounded so dirty and delicious. It was a few blocks away but when we got there it was closed (permanently). I guess it wasn't meant to be but we found another ice cream and pastry shop to round out our meals.
Home and bed followed shortly thereafter but I'd like to proudly note I was out until 10 pm! Today we are dropping JerseyGirl at the train station and Husband and I are attending a C-Section class at the hospital where I am giving birth. Doctor has not told me I'm having one but let's be honest - I probably will (especially because presenting Baby A is breach).
Many fun things happening this week - ultrasound on Tuesday, my first COPE meeting (for MOTs) that night and visit from the Swedes so keep checking back in for more updates!
