Thought I might update on time this week, even though I only did so three days ago!
Last night was my birthday and Ez went above and beyond to throw a lovely dinner party for me. We had beef tenderloin medallions, seared scallops with dill oil, porcini mushroom ravioli with mushroom cream sauce and steamed crab legs with redolent garlic or dill butter and a beautiful salad. For appys we had a delicious fondue with fresh veggies and warm baguette and of course, we had a fab ice cream cake for dessert!! It was terrifically yummy and even though I couldn't drink I truly enjoyed my gingerale with cranberry studded with sweet magenta pomegranate seeds - very festive. I find if you serve anything in fat, long-stemmed wine glasses it tastes better! He also splurged and bought me a fancy b*tch new phone with an mp3 player and 3.2 mpxl camera in it - very advanced, something I would never have bought myself. But he thought it would be easier with the baby to have everything in one device and that way I will always have a camera with me ti take pictures of the bambino while daddy is at work ;)
Baby has been pretty quiet lately, I think it must be a growing phase. Still some movement here and there but not as much as last week. I feel like I have grown quite a bit, although I haven't quite figured out where, as my measurements continue to be the same. I feel thick and stiff, but yoga is helping and I still can't complain - although I do wonder how I will ever move as it gets bigger! My belly button is a creature unto itself lately, especially since I had to break down and take out my belly ring the other day. It has flattened out substantially and even resembles an 'outtie' - as much as my hollowed out strange bellybutton can. I'm chugging away on my crochet baby blanket - though I have completely changed the colour scheme and design ( of course) and it little resembles the blanket I started out making. I also got a beautiful blanket from my mom for the baby, bright and colourful and a patchwork of soft textured fabrics that baby is sure to love. Between that one, mine and the one nanabanana made me (a year ago, impatiently forward looking) I should be good on the baby blanket front.
Now all we need is a stroller.
Oh yeah. And a house.
C'mon, dream home!
