a new adventure everyday
Better win the next three games so they can go to the NLCS series. Why you ask? Because are a team that is capable of doing such a thing. And because I scored some tickets for game one of the NLCS at Wrigley.
Go Cubs go! And begging that you win the next three games to win the division and we are going to party like it is 1908!!!
Diego has now learned how to zip up his sweaters. Woohoo! He would try once in a while but never got it. But today, he managed to zip up his sweater twice. I wonder if he has been practicing with my aunt. I’ll have to ask her tomorrow. Oh, when I gave him a high five and a woo hoo, he just said “It was nothing.” So modest! 😛
…to go (+/- 2 weeks). I can’t believe it. I have survived summer which wasn’t so bad. I get tired more often. I have to go to the bathroom like very 3 hours so I don’t even get a good night sleep. Oh well.
Maybe I’ll get Eric to take a belly shot today. I really haven’t so I think it is time. 🙂
Well, here we are 4 weeks later. I took Diego to the doctor again. I was going to get an ultrasound so I wanted him to “see” the baby.
I gain four pounds so now I am up to 167 lbs. Not bad. BP is 114/92 or something like that. Belly is at 31 cm. Had an u/s to gage how the baby is growing and make sure all is okay. Baby is about 4.5 lbs. Seems that I might be having a 6 to 6.5 pounder in a few weeks. Baby is sunny-side up and head down but I am hoping it turns around soon. We even got a 3D view. Amazing! I need to scan those. We got lots and lots of pictures.
Next appointment is Oct. 10 (3 weeks) and then every week. My, how time flies.
We went to Apple Holler today. We got there at about 8:15. We had some breakfast from the buffet (yummy!) and then off to what we went there: apple picking!! Even though they have lots of different kinds of apples, the only one we picked was Honey Crisps. Oh, they are so sweet and crunchy.
Here is my annual picture of Diego and Eric:
Next year, there will probably a new little head peeking out of the wagon. 🙂

Oh and wanted to add that we got some caramel apples with mixed nuts and an apple pie. Yum, yum, yum!!!
We were off from Friday until Tuesday (well, Eric had Thursday off too but I’m not counting that. 😆 ).
The rundown on the weekend:
Thursday: After work, I went to a condo-warming party down the street. Stayed until 8 pm then went home. Eric came home at 1 am.
Friday: I got Eric up to go to Brookfield zoo. I wanted to be there at 9:30 am when they opened but alas, he was hung over and we made it a little past 10 am so it wasn’t too bad. We didn’t see much of the zoo but it was beautiful day to go. Diego wanted to see the monkeys so that is the first thing we did. We did the Sting-ray exhibit but Diego got bored plus he did not want to get wet but I was able to touch one. Kinda hard to bend over with the belly in the way. 🙂 We took a break to eat our snacks. Diego saw the playground so we hung out there for a while. We then went to see the Dolphin show. We decided we were done. But on the way out, Diego saw the Merry Go Round and wanted to get on. So he did with Eric. THEN we finally left the zoo.
My SIL’s shower was on Saturday so we needed to get a gift. We went to BRU for a shower gift. Then went to the mall and bought Diego new bedding at Pottery Barn kids.
Saturday: After months and months of wanting to get my hair cut, I finally got my hair cut. Then we went to the baby shower.
Sunday: We went out for breakfast at a new place, Meli Cafe. It was yummy! I had the Honey Cakes, Diego had the waffles and Eric had the Rocky Mountain skillet. Next time, Eric wants to try the crepes and I will have to try the french toast. Too bad they don’t have a children’s menu considering that a lot of kids were there.
Later that afternoon, we went to a block party right across the park. That was fun. Diego played with his friends and we ate and ate. 😛
Monday: We went to Milwaukee for the afternoon. Hung out with Eddie and Maggie. We also met Amy, Ana’s little girl. She was born 10-12 weeks premature. But she is doing really well and she now weighs 4 pounds considering she weighed 2 pounds at birth. All she needs to do before going home is learning how to eat on her own. I am sure she will be able to do it soon.
Tuesday: We wanted to go apple picking today but the apples we want are not ready. So we postponed the trip a couple of weeks. Instead, we finally went to see Wall-E. Diego really liked it and so did we. It is such a brilliant movie, I can’t wait for it on DVD. Afterwards, we went to eat some dinner, then hit the playground and then home.
So now, I am back at work. 😛
My 4 week appointment was today. I am now at 163 lbs, a 5 1/2 lbs increase. Must stop eating so much. Well, it feels that way anyway. I just need to eat better (less junk that is) so I won’t feel so guilty for gaining weight. My BP was 121/90 which is very good. I also heard the baby’s heartbeat. It is somewhere between 138 and 145 bpm. It is so cool to hear it. My belly is growing right on target: 28-29 cm. So far so good.
Next appointment is Sept. 19. I will be getting an ultrasound then too. I hope I can take Diego so he can see the baby too
After 5 years, I finally paid off my 401(k) loan. Yay!!!
For today:
