Happy 1^st (kind of) Father’s Day weekend to Baby D’s daddy!  Himal is already such a good daddy; he happily goes to every prenatal appointment and baby class, reads about pregnancy and babies on his own, and loves our little guy so much.  Baby D is so very lucky to have him in his life.  I know he’s going to be a wonderful father.

Happy Father’s Day weekend also to my dad, Mr. Big!  Baby D and I are lucky to have him in our lives, too.

Best moment of the week:  Himal’s coworkers threw a baby shower for us.  We had a nice time:

 And ate yummy homemade cakes:

Baby bump status:  I’m definitely feeling pregnant now and have a pronounced belly although several people this week mentioned that I don’t look pregnant.   Hmmmm….

Maternity clothes:  I’m filling out the once-roomy maternity tops these days.

Baby weighs as much as:  Four navel oranges

Total weight gain:  20.0 pounds!  Wow!  (Change since last week: +0.8)

Days until due date:  65

Looking forward to:  My beach vacation, Himal’s first (sort of) Father’s Day, my birthday, and our local shower that’s being hosted by my sister and BFF.  It’s a big week!  Too bad Baby D’s daddy can’t go to the beach with me, but I’ll have 40+ family members to keep me company.

Gifts this week:  Little Man got this good stuff at the shower.  Thanks, everyone!

 

Dissertation update:  I laid out a plan for modeling, and I set up my first 2 qualitative interviews.  I also figured out how to use my recording device and practiced, so I’m ready.  Let's do this!
