This weekend was a birthday weekend.  Last year during  Adam’s birthday, I was in my first trimester of pregnancy.  I slept a minimum of eleven hours a night and subsisted on little more than oranges and toast.  This year, I baked Adam’s cake during naptime and we toted Reed along to brunch with Adam’s parents. Afterward, my husband requested the two of us get a coffee all by ourselves. We did, and it was wonderful.

Twenty-six.  I like the number.  It seems warm and fun and steady.  I expressed this to Adam, and he said that he prefers twenty-five.  Either way, it is fun to watch him turn another year older.  So very very fun.   I love him and like him, and I am glad he is alive and growing older.

Not only am I full term, but I am now officially entering the time in which most women give birth (from two weeks before the due date to one week after). My doctor thinks I’ll probably deliver within a week before or after the due date. And I agree, in part because I really want to see Where the Wild Things Are.

I haven’t grown much, in fact I lost a pound this last week.

1. Watching This Old House over breakfast.

First off, let me just say that my due date is officially one month away.

Oh, it’s been a good week!
