Holly and I went for another doctor's appointment today. Surprise,surprise, Holly is showing about a month ahead of schedule. The doctor wasn't concerned about her weight, since from the last appointment to this one, she's gained the right amount. Apparently baby had a bit of a growth spurt before the previous appointment, though. We may need to go for another ultrasound in a few weeks, just to check the size and get a better estimate of the due date.
Otherwise, everything is going according to plan. We picked up a nice crib last week, and have the baby's room pretty much organized now. Plus, our downstairs neighbor gave us a bag full of newborn clothes, so we should be set for the first week or so. ;) Holly and I have only bought 3 m.o. clothes, with the expectation that the little bugger will be not so little (my family has a history, shall we say).
Since it's been so long since I last posted, here's an update of some
other stuff.
I've been working on a proposal for a new building at Grant MacEwan. That's meant working long hours, but if we win it'll be worth it. I can't wait to share some of the stuff we're planning, but not until after the submission.
Before that started, we went to the San Juan Islands and Seattle for alittle break before we can't do that alone for a while. We stayed with Sarah (THANKS) in Vancouver, and hit The Locus for dinner (surprise). We had breakfast at a great place called Aurora Bistro. Nice vibe and fantastic food, even by Vancouver standards.
Next, we stayed on San Juan Island for three days, and LOVED IT. It's so
peaceful, and there's lots to see and do. We can't wait to go back. Seattle was a little less nice. To be fair, we were incredibly rushed, and didn't have time to do everything we wanted. We went to the Glass Museum in Tacoma, which was amazing -- especially the hot shop. Oddly, my favorite display was in the hallway to the washrooms, but whatever. We did the underground tour in Seattle, and that was really cool. Otherwise, all I can say about Seattle is that is smells like pee.
Probably not fair, but that was our experience. I still haven't put any pictures up online. When I do, I'll put a link here.
