Lots of folks have offered to bring us food during the first weeks, which is much appreciated.  I have created a calendar so that folks can sign up for days.

Feed me, Seymour

Here are some suggestions…  Ruby likes: vegetarian, green salad, Mexican/burritos, Indian, Italian/pasta, garlic, savory stuff … Brian likes: pizza, stir-fry, Asian/Thai/Chinese, BBQ. Happily, Ruby will no longer need to follow the diabetic diet (G.D. goes away after birth, yay) but healthy choices are always welcome.

Brian and I have certainly been showered with love lately. My mom held a small baby shower for us with our old Ox Bow friends, who I have known since I was a little girl. Then my friend Melissa put together a fabulous party for a good number of our friends. Nicole organized games for the kids – who where plentiful – and Melissa’s husband Jeff was also very helpful.  This shower was at Brian’s business, and everyone was very impressed with the space – it’s quite professional but also made a good party setting. People also had huge compliments for Melissa’s food, which was delicious and sophisticated as always (see cake remains above, for example).

Below is a picture of the adorable sock-monkey-themed quilt that my mother made for El Jefe (click it for a bigger version so you can see all the monkeys):

Here’s a picture from when I was at 34 weeks (about 3 weeks ago). Only 10 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight if you can believe that!
