39 Weeks: Four More Days...?

Happy Saturday everyone!

Just wanted to keep everyone updated on my maternity leave so far.  I have to say, not having to drive my long commute to work and back this week was very nice, but I'm still getting used to maternity leave.  I have been sleeping a lot longer which is wonderful.  But even though I told my folks I wouldn't catch their cold, I think I did-my nose has been stuffed up more than usual the last couple of days.  Sigh.

Anyway, my days are all blurring together, but let's see if I can remember what I did since I last wrote in my blog...

Thursday we took Miles for a short walk in the morning but it started raining hard so we cut it short.  Good thing because it started coming down even more once we got back to our place.  A little later on my folks came over and while my mom watched The Conjuring and Grumpy Old Men, my pa, hubby and I played a couple board games.  And guess who won both-hubby of course.  I told you he's good at games.  Afterwards we took them to our once favorite Filipino fusion restaurant White Rabbit.  I say once favorite because 1. They don't upgrade their combos with boba drinks anymore, which is quite silly. 2. The service was terrible-little teenagers with attitude and 3. The food wasn't as good as it usually is.  So unfortunately, I doubt we'll be going there anymore.  Then we tried to take our folks to this place called "Candy Cane Lane" that was about ten minutes away-and not everyone had lights up!  It was kind of a let down.  Some houses were really decked out, but it wasn't as exciting as when hubby and I stumbled upon it last year.  Oh well-can't win them all.

Friday hubby had to work super early and so my folks came over and we did some last minute Christmas shopping.  I took them to one of my favorite lunch spots "Souplantation" and then after a little more shopping, came home and hung out with the hubby.  We took Miles to the dog park and then played a couple games when we got home.

His favorite corner of the couch now, but Dominion was in the way
Today while my folks visited the Reagan Library again...

Mom got a new haircut!
I did a couple errands around the house which included making Thai Chicken and Peanut Soup in the crockpot and then made lunch.  This is what happens when you have a huge belly and pregnancy brain:

I need a bib.  Mustard tummy.

After a quick post office run we took Miles to the larger dog park and then grabbed last minute food and necessities at Target.

Tonight is a relaxing night of more games and my crockpot soup which is making our place smell super yummy.  Not too much exciting news to report, but let's see if Baby H actually waits until his due date to come out!  I read only 5% of moms deliver on their actual due date-some odds huh.  My lower back was hurting at the park-I think Baby H got a little heavier which I didn't think could happen.  I'm hoping he doesn't grow much more in the next few days, I'm about to topple over!
