Scotland 35 months
Here are things I hope to always remember about Scotland at this age: “Have I had my vitamin yet today? Have I had my pickle?” (As you can tell we have a one pickle a day rule.) He played happily with play-dough while I got ready this morning. When I came up, after I had…

Challenging my "smile more" resolve
I keep waking up around 2AM, just to realize that the reason for my awakening is not painful contractions. This is typically followed by a wave of grumpiness. In attempts to stay positive, here's my list of perks for prolonged pregnancy: –Quality Time with Scotland: Having left my schedule open, because I feel less than…

Working overtime
My due date was yesterday. Fortunately, after learning my lesson when I went late with Scotland, I have been mentally preparing myself to be late again.

15 days to go
I know it’s not wise to count down to a specific day. But I can’t help it. Especially when I feel like this:

Six months down celebration and the Gipsy All-stars
December marked the half-way mark for Tom’s intern year. To celebrate we decided to try out Ray’s Boat House, a restaurant a friend recommended. It was a typical Seattle day, overcast and moody- perfect for sitting near the window watching the boats go out while enjoying some scrumptious seafood. Scotland as you can see was…
