Lincoln Park Zoo

Pretty cool zoo AND it's free. It's indoor and outdoor but because we're seemingly in the coldest/snowiest month in the entire city's history , we decided to keep it inside. We saw lions, tigers, monkeys and all sorts of other creatures. It was a good way to spend the time as a family and Stella was entertained. Can't wait for the warm weather. Seemingly there is much to do with kiddies when the snow melts...

Week 29

Getting bigger. I am running out of room! I am definitely ready to have my body back and wear clothes that do not have elastic bands on the waist unless they are sweatpants. We are tentatively scheduled for a C-section on April 6 (due date is 4/12) at 2:15pm. Awaiting to hear back on confirmation though and of course date can change depending on how I start progressing and also if we opt to try for a VBAC.

All these decisions.

In the meantime, I go through the minute to minute struggle on whether I can endure having a creature fight me on space of my own body another minute or having him out and having to manage two offsprings at once.

I'd like to think that this second round will be much easier since I will not be as stressed/neurotic/'fill in blank here' as I was with numero uno but that is likely to be offset by a toddler who may pile-drive or bodyslam him the second I look away yeah?
