[eggplant - week 26]

Adventure Travel
We've been busy at airports. Headed to St. Paul, Minnesota for a wedding. Then on to Toronto, Ontario for another wedding. His family lives in TO and my folks drove up from Massachusetts for a visit. Lots of good kid hangout time with the nieces and nephew (ahem, patience practice). Let's call it a "trip" rather than a "vacation" because I don't feel quite rested. Though I enjoyed every moment of the adventure and it might be the last for a while. November = sh*t + fan.

My photographer mom documented The Dude in the Belly, Mike, his mom and me.

Grandparent name discussion
My mom, Kate, will use the grandmother title "Kate"
My dad, Evan, is still undecided...
Mike's mom, Cynthia, will continue to use "Gramma"
Mike's dad, David, will be "Saba"


We collected photos of the Toronto family so we can put together an album of faces to introduce The Dude to the remote folks. Which is, um, everyone.

[eggplant - week 25]

Bouncing Bellies!

My buddy Greg found this little beauty. Says not to ask how he stumbled upon it. So I didn't.









Alphabet

I want to make this alphabet wall. Perhaps this can be a maternity leave assignment...


Latest belly shot:
For the moment my belly button is still an Inny. But really, I'm seeing nooks and crannies of it that I have never before. As of today, my finger goes in to the 1/4" mark. Stay tuned...
