Date Night

Yesterday, Feb. 10, was my due date. Since baby G is not here yet, and there were no signs that he was coming soon, Mom suggested that grant and I go out on a date!

SO Grant and I went to dinner at Houston's. It was de-licious. I had this yummy thai noodle salad with steak, and Grant had ono and a braised cabbage with goat cheese side that he said was absolutely delicious.

 We shared an ice cream sundae for dessert, and they put a candle on it to congratulate us on our upcoming parenthood!

After dinner, we went and watched The Reader, which was a really great movie. I thought they did a good job adapting the book - and Kate Winslet was, of course, amazing, as was David Kross, who played Michael Burg.

What a nice night. I love being with Grant. I am so excited to share this time with him now, and I am so excited that he and I get to share the adventure of parenthood together!

Off of work

SO I am officially off of work - this is my first non school day! It is very weird, because I don't neccesarily feel any closer to delivering the baby then I did last week! I must admit, though, that it is nice to be home. Mom flew in last Tuesday, and we've been spending time working on the house (me nesting? nah... more like mom encouraging...) although it does feel good to have the house clean and in order!

 

It feels very werid to be off of work though - and not on an official vacation or anything. I am not even really aware of days passing - it is hard for me to believe that it is Monday. Hee hee...

Belle dog scared of the Rain

It has been raining here off and on for about 4 days. Last night, at about 4 in the morning, the rain and wind were super strong and woke Belle up - so she came and sat on my head again. It seems sitting on our heads is the most comforting position for her when she's scared at night - sigh. Oh well, at least I didnlt have to stress about her sitting on my belly!

 

Speaking of bellys... due date is tomorrow! I don't think he's going to come on his due date - but hopefully he won't be too much after, either!
