In Full Bloom

At week 30

Veto

I've warned Pat that these are the types of baby names I will veto. This is just the kind of thing he would come up with.

West Hartford is 76th

The town we're moving to in November was named the 76th best place to live by Money Magazine. Nice to see it on the list! Might make the sky high tax rates more bearable.

Update: HUGE shout-out to NIMIT who sent me this link first!! (He's complaining about lack of shout-out in the comments).

Month Seven

My seventh month and third trimester starts today. I've gotta say that the past month was definitely more challenging. Aches and pains are cropping up. By the time I figure out a trick to alleviate a problematic area, the issue goes away on its own and a different one appears. I can't keep up!

Baby is doing well though. Kicks are getting more powerful and often cause me to yelp out loud because I'm startled.

Not much else to report. Just taking it one day at a time and hoping it all falls into place in October.

Two Year Anniversary

We got married in Manhattan on this date two years ago. Although we had a huge hoopla in Billerica a week later, we like to celebrate July 3rd since we had a very fun and memorable long weekend in NYC. We stayed at the uber fancy Sofitel. Appropriately, we had our wedding day dinner at Tabla: a fusion of Indian and western flavored food. Other activities included the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge, a ferry ride around NYC, a visit to the top of Rockefeller Center (which is cooler than the top of the Empire State Building, in my opinion), the Central Park Zoo, and of course a Fireworks show just for us (and partly to celebrate Independence Day). A good time was had by us both!
