Unbelievable that Baby K is due 2 weeks from today (or even less time if you count his due date as November 1st based on his first ultrasound). Of course, that doesn't mean he'll be here in 2 weeks, since most 1st babies are late, but at least we know we'll have a baby in 3 weeks since most doctors here induce once you are one week late. I have to say, it doesn't FEEL like he'll be coming out this week -- based upon my exam at the dr last week and the fact that he's only dropped a little -- but if he comes this week, we are ready! We set up his nursery, went to Target to buy the "essentials" and Carters to buy some clothes. We also got a new digital camera because ours is not working so well any more as well as a camcorder to record things AFTER the birth -- no miracle of life video for us!
This past weekend was fun -- we stayed home for a mellow friday night, then after shul, went to our friends Ellie and Daniels for lunch with Jeff and Reyna. Ellie and Daniel live about a 25-30 minute walk from us, so it was quite a hike for an almost 10 month pregnant person, but I actually set the pace as we walked up there and everyone else arrived totally winded :-) So, at least I'm a very active very pregnant person :-) Saturday night, we headed over the hill to Beth and Nati's place to meet their puppy Layla (they spell it Lyla) and give Gabe his birthday present -- he turned 5 on Friday. Crazy how time flies! It was SUPER windy on saturday and there were leaves and pine needles all over the roads -- it felt like FALL for a few minutes in LA, only to be 85 degrees yesterday.
Sunday, we took Milo to his class and then Jem headed out to the valley with Jeff to play some golf, while I ran some errands and did some more baby room set up and laundry. Then we went to dinner in Culver City for Jen's 30th birthday with Jen, James, Sasha, Kim, Dan, Ali and Hilly (Ali's sister). Yummy Italian food at Ugo. Got home, watched some TV and went to bed. Not a super relaxing weekend, but definitely lots of fun.
This week, I'm heading out for a girls night today of pottery painting with Adi, Shana and Taffy while Jem has a boys poker night. Jem is heading up to San Francisco and Sacramento for the day on Wednesday (with instructions to jump on the first plane if I go into labor then, which is unlikely) and I have a mother-daughter dinner with my mom, Jen, her mom Mickie and of course baby Sasha. The last mother-DAUGHTER dinner since next time there will be a BOY there too! Ellycia (our sister in law/Jem's brother Jonny's wife) is coming into town this week for a conference and will be staying with us over the weekend which should be fun. We're probably going to attempt to have some friends over friday night for dinner and then we're out for lunch. Then celebrating a few friends bdays over the weekend. Should be a nice week.
Have a great week!
Lisa (and Jem)
