Week 35

So I am not really sure what week it is but we will just say I have about a month left. I know the math doesn't work out, but that was never a strong subject for me. It is fall here and we experienced our first New England Noreaster. It just rained a lot and the wind blew hard. No big deal since it wasn't that cold. We didn't lose power, which I hear is quite common here.
The leaves are beautiful and everywhere you look it is like looking at a painting. If you want to visit, the fall is the best time.
John is taking mid-terms so he is working pretty hard these days. I am not getting very many sub positions so I am pretty restless. I want this month to fly by, but each day seems to pass so slowly! Eleanor is restless too, she kicks and moves around a lot. I think she is also uncomfortable. Some friends here are throwing a baby shower for Eleanor and for another expecting family on Nov 5th so that will be something to look forward to. We need to come up with a contact plan for when the baby comes so that we can let everyone know what is going on. If anyone has any good ideas let us know.

Week 34! Only 6 weeks left!

John and I have started our prenatal classes and its exciting because it is getting closer. My check-up this week went ok. I didn't gain any weight this time and I am trying to increase my protine and water intake. I eat constantly though so I don't know what is going on???
John is trying to get caught up on everything so that when Eleanor is born so that he can spend more time hanging out with us.
Tonight we are going "camping" (we are really just going to go to a campsite with some friends that are camping out). I will try and get some good pictures.

Baby Registry

Everyone keeps asking what we still need. We have plenty of clothes and most of the basics. I did register at Babies'R'Us. You can access the list at www.babiesrus.com and click on the flower that says "click here" for baby registry. Do the search or just go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html/103-1033890-2283858?%5Fencoding=UTF8&type=babyreg&id=16UTKSFIWTVXA

You can also have the Babies'R'Us store print one out for you.

We don't really care what brand or where it comes from. Thanks for everything that everyone has already done for us. We are very appreciative.

Week 33

The midwife predicts that Eleanor will weigh 7lbs 12 oz if she is born on the 29th. I am gaining about 3 lbs. a week now so I am getting bigger quite quickly now. I have gained a total of about 20lbs now. I am substituting a couple of days a week and getting plenty of rest. I haven't been walking as much as I would like, but it has been raining here. We plan to buy our airline tickets in the new few days if we can get the ok from our pediatrician (I don't think it will be a problem). Once I know dates for sure I will post our itinerary. Everything is going well for all of us.

Mary at 800 lbs!

This is Mary this week at 800 lbs.

Week 32

This weekend I went apple picking. On Saturday I went with a bunch of people from our apartment building. We had a hay ride out to the apples, had a pick nick, and listened to folk music. It was so much fun. If anyone comes to visit in the fall we will have to do this again. John went with me on Sunday as well as another couple and even the guys had fun. Evidently this place is famous for its apple cider and fried apple doughnuts. It was delicious.
