Frasca Dinner and a Digger on the Way Home

They are doing construction at Hamilton School on the corner of Paulina and Cornelia - converting the black topped area that faces us to grass.  Today they had a digger and a bulldozer there to pull up the black top and Simon and Daddy spent quite a while watching the process in the afternoon, we paused on our walk to Frasca and then we watched the digger get onto the truck to go home for about 15 minutes on our walk home. I think Simon will dream about Machines at Work tonight.

Brunch with Auntie Colleen and Joe

Auntie Colleen, Joe, Mama and Simon all went to breakfast on Sunday morning. We found a great new place called Inspiration kitchen that was inexpensive, had great service, and had excellent food. Simon enjoyed it too. Especially the walk back to the car when he got to jump *really* high.

Earthworm

We found an earthworm in our back yard while Daddy and Simon were playing baseball.

Go home!

I touched him!

Talking to himself is confusing for mama

Simons trains and toys have started saying things like 'I'm hungry','don't forget about me' and 'I fell down'. This is very confusing for me as it I really want to feed/reassure/check on him but he quickly moves on to the next thing!

BGB Update: 36 weeks

36 weeks last Friday! Simon was born at 37 weeks, so we are very ready for Baby Girl Basque to come any time. Twice a week we are going to the doctor to make sure everyone stays healthy and at this point if I start showing signs of preeclampsia than we will get to see our little girl early. I'm officially on Maternity Leave as of Friday, so I will be able to rest up and finish all the little things that aren't essential but would be nice to have done before she is born.

Little girl has settled down quite a bit in my belly since she is officially running out of room. She is head down (as she should be right now) and generally likes to stay on either the right side or the left side so she is pretty easy to feel from the outside. Unfortunately for my ribs that is also a good angle for her to stretch out her legs and try to break free. I've heard that it's really cool to feel her little feet moving, but, honestly, from the inside it doesn't feel as cool.

Biggest French Fry

On Friday we went to a family dinner at DMK. Simon took a huge bite of burger so we gave him a huge french fry. He was pretty amazed about the whole thing. Good times.

This French Fry is HUGE!

Look, Mama. 

Daddy, this is a HUGE french fry...

Very, very big.

Yum.
