Clearly, I am very behind with blogging. Clearly, this is because we have a new baby in the house A lot of things have taken a back seat in the last week or so, and I’m okay with that. I dropped off the blogging over the Thanksgiving weekend, mainly because I was actually in varying...

We had another early start today, this time to get to my 38 week OB check up on the UES by 8.15am. As it turned out, they were running late (how can you be running late for the first appointments?), so we didn’t end up being seen until after 9am. Ah well. Everything is still going just...

Today we had to be ready for an early start for our 8am ultrasound appointment at the hospital. We made the walk to Beth Isreal in good time and were there a few minutes early. And the best thing about having the first appointment of the day is that it’s pretty hard for them to be...

Here I am at 38 weeks. Not too many of these photos left to go! After yesterday, I was SO ready to take things easy today. Luckily so was Kev! That said, we still had a few bits & pieces we wanted to do, but they were mostly within a couple of blocks of home, so it felt pretty...

Edited to add photo: This is the line at the Bulgari sale. That’s the across the road part. Nice, right? This morning we had arranged to meet Tara at the Bulgari sample sale at 9am. In hindsight, a little earlier would probably have made a big difference, but hey, live & learn. The...

Kev worked from home today (love those days!) so that once he finished his meetings for the day we could go to the Department of Motor Vehicles and finally get some local ID. So that we don’t have to remember to cart around our passports for those occasions when we need to provide...

Today was a fairly uneventful day. Yoga in the afternoon (and the good teacher was back – yay!), and then in the evening I had an appointment to meet with the pediatricians that will be the baby’s regular doctors once she arrives. Kev really wanted to come along to this meeting,...

Well in theory, Time Warner Cable were supposed to come out to see us and fix our cable problems this morning between 8am and 11am. Consequently I was frustrated and cranky, but not particularly surprised, when they failed to turn up at all. Sigh. I rang the last technician that came out, who...

Here I am today at 37 weeks We took a pretty easy approach to today, sticking fairly close to home after yesterday’s big walking adventures. Being Sunday, nothing really opens early so we lazed out of bed and squeezed in another game of Settlers before the shops opened (Oh yeah, that...

Today Alison arrived from Baltimore around lunchtime, and we decided to head down to Chinatown to grab some yum cha for lunch (or dim sum, as it appears to be called here …). We could have walked, but I didn’t want to wear myself out right at the start of our outing, so we decided...

Kev had originally hoped to work from home today, but in the end he decided to go into the office so I went with him and we had breakfast together at a little cafe before he headed in to get started. It was a beautiful (if chilly!) morning so I wandered a little further down the street to snap...

A couple of days ago, an offer came through Kev’s inbox for $50 tickets to Anything Goes this week. Naturally, this was an offer we couldn’t refuse so we immediately got on board. We’ve been meaning to see the show for months now, and let’s face it, we’re on a...
