31 Weeks

Isn't the above picture CUTE!  (Big eye roll...)

N and I both gagged slightly at posing in such a hokey position but we did it all for a memory.  One day our boy will say, "Man, were my parents lame."  N and I will feel a sense of a job well done in that moment.

I am now into week 32 so I am already behind in updating this blog, but we have a lot on our minds these days.  For example, I want our baby to be listening to classic songs like this:

 

N, on the other hand, wants to make sure our baby is terrified right from the get-go by introducing him to classic lullabies like this:

 

We also still have a kazillion things to do before we are ready for this baby to arrive.  Far too many things to list here.  Still, we seem to focus on the unimportant ones like the examples above (musical influences).

I had an ultrasound last week.  Everything looked good, baby in the right position and most importantly not bigger than average size!  That said, they were unable to confirm gender.  I believe they said, "gender inconclusive."  They had said "boy" at my second ultrasound but this time apparently he wanted to curl up his legs right in front and the tech could not get a peek to confirm his "male" status.  Still, I am convinced I am having a boy. 

We also, I think, have also settled on a name.  I will leave you with the initials A.P.K.  It may still change but it is the best we have agreed upon. 

Other than that, my BP continues to rise and is being monitored, work has been steady and plentiful - I have submitted paperwork to start my maternity leave with the board mid June, and I am still feeling great (tired by the end of the day with sore feet but overall feel pretty darn good).

And that... wraps week 31!

 

Around town with cousin Sam

Tagged:  

My cousin Samantha was in town last week.  She just recently finished up a little stint called a Journalism degree and was looking for one last escape before starting the never ending grind of working for a living.  I have to say that talking to her about how the media works is incredibly fascinating and I think she is one of the most interesting people of my aquaintance.  I hope she had a great time while here even though I wasn't much of a hostess as I had to work most of the week.

I did manage to show her some sites (AGO, Much Music, City Hall / Nathan Philips Square, Yorkdale Mall, Eaton Centre, Dundas Square, etc.) and she managed to brave the downtown and subway on her own as well.   I even managed to get her to the Ontario Science Centre for the Harry Potter Exhibition (which was great - in my opinion. v.v. cool).

 

It's the flying Ford Anglia from HP!

 

We also managed a day trip to Niagara Falls.  We rode the Maid of the Mist and got completely and utterly soaked.  This was especially hilarious as I have been on this boat at least twice before and have only encountered minimal spray.

The week ended with more shopping followed by a jaunt down along Lake Ontario where we had a fabulous final supper at The Watermark, an Irish Pub, inside the Queens Quay Terminal.

Hope Sam knows she will always have a place to stay if she ever ventures back to the Centre of the Universe.
