33 Weeks
Life is becoming more and more focused around baby these days... perhaps because my belly is finally so big I can't ignore it (although I have to say, I think I'm still pretty spry for a pregnant lady! :)) or maybe it's just the realization that with only 7 weeks left to go, the big event could potentially happen at any moment. Last night Matt and I had our first pre-natal class, and it was a good experience. They gave us a tour of the hospital rooms, and that really alleviates some of the fear of the unknown. It was also nice to talk to other mommies-to-be about the best/worst aspects of pregnancy and our fears...
On another note entirely, our landlord raised our rent $200/mo, which has led to a flurry of considerations... Should we try to buy a multi-family? Should we move to another place? Should we just suck it up or try to talk him down? In response to his initial letter, I asked if he would do some updates to the apartment if we agreed to the new price. We haven't heard back... I think we've decided to stay, and if he won't agree to the updates then Shakes is going to try to talk him down a little bit. I don't like the thought of moving when the baby is only a few weeks old, and the idea of buying a place is pretty overwhelming...
We're heading down to PA for the long weekend and I am PSYCHED! There will be a party at the Fowler compound, which just may be a baby shower... they tried so hard to keep a secret, but I'm a pretty perceptive girl. :) I don't know who all's coming though, so that will still be a surprise. The whole idea of being at my parents and seeing all the family and some of my friends being there - seriously, I can't convey my excitement. I feel like there's all this beautiful weather around me and finally, FINALLY, I'm going to partake in it and have a fabulous time. Summer picnics are the best.
Tonight I'm dragging my peeps to see the Arnold Arboretum, another Boston Culture Event designed to tap into Boston's diverse and free activities. Of course, I kinda double booked myself and have a fiddle lesson immediately beforehand, so a small part of me is hoping for a rain check... I think perhaps I'll just issue a preemptive one. The lilacs will still be there next week...
