Happy Monday everyone,
Today we are 33 weeks down, 7 to go, if baby Kolieb decides to come on time, though anytime after October 15th is "safe" since he'll be full term by then.
Last week feels like so long ago already. Wednesday after work, I made the baby rounds. First, I stopped by to see Jen, James and baby Sasha, all of whom are doing great. Its so fun to see friends with babies. After that, I stopped by to see Sharon, Boris and baby Miles, who are also doing great. Jen and Sharon are lucky enough to have their husbands around for the first few weeks. I've actually convinced Jem to take a little time off so we can have family bonding time at the beginning and we can get used to being parents together. Hopefully he'll be able to work from home a bit as well.
We had a great Rosh Hashana. We spent lots of time with the same people, which was really fun -- basically just rotated houses. Wednesday night, we were at Taffy and Claudes. For those who don't already know them, Taffy is due 10 days after me and we are doing all our childbirth, baby classes together, which has been a blast! Since Taffy and Claude decided to wait to find out if their baby is a boy or a girl, we don't know yet if our babies will be best friends or future spouses, or both -- no pressure :-) Also at Taffy and Claudes were Adi and Larry and Mordechai and Shana.
The next day, after services which lasted until 1:30, we headed over to Jeff and Reyna's house for lunch. Reyna is also pregnant -- due in March (notice a theme with our friends? its crazy! we're turning into grown-ups!). Also at lunch were Adi and Larry and Mordechai and Shana (and their kids Caleb and Tehilla), as well as Jeff and Reyna's friend Avi, who works for a toy making company. Needless to say, after Wednesday night dinner and Thursday lunch, we were stuffed. Luckily, we didn't make plans for Thursday night dinner and we stayed home, cooked dinner for Friday night and had a very light dinner. I had apple juice and Jem had cereal. That was all we could eat. Friday, after services which ended a bit earlier (1:15), we had another light meal, and then headed out for a long walk over to Sharon and Boris' house again so we could see Miles. Unfortunately for us, but fortunately for Sharon and Boris, Miles slept through our entire visit. I guess we'll have to go play with him another time soon!
Friday night we had Adi and Larry over for dinner, as well as our friends Nick and Sharon Merkin, with their 3 kids. The two older boys (Eytan and Yoni) had a blast playing with Milo while the baby (Ilan) slept. We had a very non-traditional and non-chaglike meal of spaghetti bolognase, which was very refreshing after lots of meals. Our friends Ellie and Daniel stopped by as well (Daniel and Sharon are brother and sister).
Shabbos lunch we went to a "grown-up" house -- our friend Rebecca Mittman (married to Jeremy, who I went to USC law school with and who works at Proskauer now) invited us to her parents house. It was a lot of fun. They live in a great house in Beverlywood, complete with a basketball hoop in the front that the boys took advantage of before and after lunch. After lunch, we relaxed at home.
Sunday was a very productive day. We had Milo's obedience class in the morning and then cleaned up the house all afternoon -- making room for the baby. We emptied and threw out tons of boxes from our garage and office, and continued the organizational process so that we will have room for another person to live in our house with us. At the same time, Directv came by to install our high definition receiver and DVR, so we can now see the blades of grass on the green when we watch Tiger Woods put. Its really quite incredible. We then had dinner with my dad and Rochelle and watched a bit of the Emmy's. It made me realize that although we feel like we watch a lot of tv, we really don't. I had never seen most of the shows nominated.
This promises to be a normal week -- with 5 days of work! crazy! of course, if we can take off early on Friday we will, and hopefully one of us will be able to pick Jonathan and Ellycia up from the airport on Friday, but it will depend on how the week goes. Tonight, we are having dinner with my mom, tomorrow night is our childbirth preparation class, wednesday night is a breastfeeding class, thursday night will hopefully be mellow and then its yom kippur. Pretty jam packed!
Thats the update. Have a great week!!
