Here is my belly shot from today, at 34 weeks and 1 day. Getting big!!
This morning, my dear friend Jenn hosted a wonderful baby shower for Mike and I. We had it here in San Jose, and it was a brunch. The shower was mellow, with a ton of good food and even better company! This was a book and music shower, and Mike and I now have a wonderful library of books and cds for this little baby!
This was a couples shower and when the first set of folks showed up, Mike jumped on the availability of extra manpower and asked a few of the guys to help him move the playhouse. The playhouse was originally set in the middle of the yard, on the right-hand side.
A little over a week ago, I came home from work and Mike had toppled the playhouse over onto its roof:
He managed to get the house upright, but it was too heavy for him to move by himself. So today he was able to get the house moved to its new home, in the back, right-hand corner of our yard. Here is a short video of the move:
In other garden news, our 2009 vegetable garden is coming along nicely. We planted corn from seed, two types of heirloom tomatoes, bell peppers, a jalapeno pepper, and two giant pumpkins. We planted everything on April 19. Here is a shot of the tomato and corn, the first day of planting:
And here they are again, nearly 8 weeks later:
Unfortunately, I didn't get a shot of the pumpkins when we first planted them. Here they are this morning:
And here is a shot at one of the first pumpkins. Right now, this little guy is about the size of a baseball.
We have two pumpkins in our little patch - a "Big Max" and a "Coastal Giant". We are hoping to get at least one big pumpkin this year, and strive to beat our personal record from 2006, when we grew a pumpkin that weighed in at about 70 lbs. Nothing compared to the 1000+ lb pumpkins that folks compete with, but big for us!Lastly, we did a bit more work on the baby's room. So, to close this post I will end with a few shots of the nursery. Enjoy, and have a great week!
