What else is new?
Well, for starters, last Sunday my tummy went from being merely round, to pregnant! Somewhere between 9am and 1pm, I exploded, and the truly weird part is that I didn't notice, despite being awake and alert the entire time. I had been carrying low, but now my belly has expanded up, just below my rib cage. I've also discovered that moving around is getting a bit harder. At my last doctor's appointment, I found out that one of my glucose readings was slightly abnormal, which means that I have to see a dietician, but it's not gestational diabetes. The doctor doesn't seem too concerned, everything else is going perfectly. It's so hard to believe that I'm only two months and a bit away from meeting the little person moving around in my body. The doctor showed my how to figure out how the baby is positioned, of course it's much easier for him to tell the head from the bum.
Steve painted the baby's room the base coat over the long weekend. It's a purply blue, very soft and calming. Now that that's done, we are going to tape off some random squares and paint them in different shades of yellow, purple, green, etc., it's going to look great. We went to Fly last weekend and picked up a couple of hippo lamps, and I found some really cute hippo posters online today. We're going to try not to overdo the hippo theme. On Saturday we're going to go to that chain toy store to register for baby stuff. Knowing how bad I am registering for things (the wedding registry was so hard for me to do), we're bringing Maggie along so she and Steve can run around putting stuff on the list.

New York trip
It's been two weeks since I went, and Steve blogged about it already, but we had a blast. After a pretty good drive, we arrived and found some illegal parking (luckily we didn't get a ticket) and went to see Kuan. Not only did I get a new purse, but she also gave us a tour of her company. We had a nice dinner with her, compared bellies and got caught up. It's so cool being pregnant at the same time as a close friend. I really wish that we lived closer together, but at least we have someone else to compare notes with as we go along. After we said goodbye to Kuan, we made our way to the village to Dan and Libby's place. We had a lot of trouble finding the parking lot and the apartment building, but eventually we found everything. They live in a great place. One of the neatest things is that they are just down the street from the Magnolia bakery, so I got to try a piece of the chocolate bundt cake that I made from their cookbook! It was almost as good as mine :-) The village is kind of like the Plateau, full of tons of bookstores, restaurants, and people with babies and dogs. On Saturday we wandered all over and took in a movie at the Tribeca film festival. On Sunday, we headed off with Libby via subway. We first went to Old Navy, so I could pick up some maternity wear, then on to Central Park and the Museum of Natural History where we took in the Einstein exhibit and the dinosaur section of the museum. The exhibit was fantastic and full of very ingenius visual examples of many of Einstein's most important theories. You can read an explanation of a theory, but I got much more from seeing it in practise. For the evening, we got some Indian takeout and played some games. It was sad to say goodbye, but we made our way back home with occasional bouts of heavy rain.
