Dinner tonight: roasted new potatoes, local summer squash, carrots, and broccoli, served over steamed rice. Really good.

Tomorrow’s Monday… I am working, at home, which means sleeping in until like 7:30 (amazing!!), having a breakfast I don’t have to scarf down, and walking Kona from 8-8:30, and then logging into work. Ahhh.

I will also officially be at 38 weeks, and the clock is really ticking now. I feel larger than ever, just extremely awkward and fat 🙁 , but at the same time, more aware than ever of my baby inside me and her churning limbs, and so very excited to finally meet her. All’s well medically, she is measuring perfectly as usual and my blood pressure is always good at my appointments. I am trying hard to be as prepared as I can for birth, but really that means staying moderately active and hydrated and getting enough sleep, etc.

We went to the library today because Brian needed a card. I checked out a couple of Anita Brookner books.

Oh and my dad & his wife departed for Arizona today. They will be back in the spring. I do wish he could be here when the baby is born… but pictures and maybe video will have to do in the meantime.
