Sewing Fun

Sew...or so...

I have been making gifts for ppl having kids either at work or at church. It's like everyone has baby belly fever.... Here are some special treats I made:

Pre-Mothers Day

So D brought me some sweet flowers and a homemade card -- melts me heart :)

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.

ps. Mackay Baby blog has been updated too...

Published. Proud. and then Scared.

I'm so proud of D! He's published for work he did while at work. Such a rockstar!

 Look at this handsome guy...new suit thanks to chuiy and his trip to China....looking good D!

 For a Birthday Celebration for D we went to an Italian restaurant in the North End and then hit up a cannoli place nearby. MMMMMmmm....And then there's the facial hair. Let me tell you, I had NO IDEA he was growing this for a REASON...I was convinced his facial hair was due to his overly tiredness and not getting up early enough to shave. BOY WAS I Wrong!

 SCARED.

BAby update...

So far this little kicking machine is all the rave. The belly is "popping" as people at work say and the "can I feel it?" questions start coming. It's kind of cool! I am having more and more of a difficulty getting up from a crouched position and start to cling to objects to assist. What am I, weak sauce? Well, the little being is growing bigger and bigger and I pretty much have no say. yea well, it's all part of a new experience.
I am struggling to just keep myself from itching the junk out of the stomach as it stretches to limits I never knew. D and I also went to another appt with the OB. All is good and I am set up to drink some sweet orange drink for my next appt. grreat!

Here's me at 20 weeks ....

Ladies and Gentlemen....2nd ultrasound results....

We're having a baby GIRL!!
(and I think I feel her moving too! whoa!)

Top of the Hub - Boston

D took me to a fancy lunch overlooking boston this past week. The prudential, the 2nd tallest building in Boston has spectacular views from the restaurant at the top...so here we are again, food and us. :) He was so sweet then to be my partner in crime as I went to find some new clothes to fit my bursting belly. love him!
