Our New Favorite...

Haymarket!

D and I can't get enough of this place....cheap produce and great bargaining, better than chinatown from NY. It always leaves us satisfied and with obviously more than we can carry home on the subway, but we do it anyway. D's getting huge muscles with his BOUNTY carrying skills. :)

Here's the place:

And here's our Bounty:

Pregnancy is taking it's toll during week 27

Cankles, Tears, and Bellytime:

Some most recent swelling-age going on here, wha? Sick! I blame working 12 hour shifts and running around like a chicken with my head cut off. This is what I am left with at the end of the day: Joys!

I have also been more hormonal and crying at stupid things as of lately. Sigh...just another one of those exciting moments in the pregnancy world....

Here's big belly me at 27 weeks. I can barely bend over without some major push using my arms off surrounding objects. People keep saying "you're not big, just you wait" ... I can't even imagine...

Mt Auburn Cemetery Walk

D and I had a day off and found one of Boston favorite walks/hikes. Mt Auburn Cemetery. Especially in the spring and fall it's gorgeous, or so we heard. We got there, and were off looking at famous burial sites, pretty trees, nature, ponds, etc. We even found some potentially distant relatives on both sides of our families....

It was fun! My calves days after are still "thanking" me. Ha!
Here's some pics of the adventure walk ... and the usual belly...

Pre-Mothers Day

Love him!

**I wonder how this day will feel next year with a smallish bundle of joy??

Boston Public Gardens and Swan Boats

D and I spent the afternoon picnicking in the Boston Public Gardens. It was awesome, we both got a little vitamin D to help with our overwhelming pasty white new england glow. We then got a chance to take the swan boats, though not crazy wild, it was something fun and "bostonian" to do. We had a great time together. I sure do love days like this.
