Welcome, May! (27/6)

[27 weeks, 6 days]

It's been a busy weekend for us, even though we
stayed in town. Friday, we toured another day care center. Saturday, we participated in the March of Dimes March for Babies which gave me a chance to get down on State Street for the first time in a long time. Oh, and we got free baby wipes! On our way home, we picked up soil and plants to turn the sandbox in the back into a garden. Now, we have tomatoes, basil, green peppers, and strawberries to look forward to. I also got my birthday present - solar path lights for our front walk. Later that evening, things took an unfortunate turn when we realized Cricket hadn't been seen all day. We fou
nd him hiding in my closet, looking glassy-eyed, drooling, and smelling awful. Cue trip to the emergency vet clinic... Our fears were relieved when we learned that his symptoms were caused by his two right side canines gone bad. Three hours later, we left with a groggy Cricket, but left four kitty teeth and nearly $400 behind.

Today, we went to the service at the UU church we joined last month, and then did some housework. I planted seeds in the front garden, and I have my fingers crossed
that something will grow (
besides weeds).

As far as the baby goes, little Wiggle is definitely making him or herself known to me. Lots of movement (especially when I hunch over) and it's fun to watch my tummy move as the baby moves. Only another 12 more weeks to go! I'm enjoying getting out in the garden while I can still move with relative ease. And I'm hearing it more and more how I'm "so little"! I don't mind - I guess it's better than having people ask if I'm due any day for the entire third trimester. I've also made many things for the baby, including the Badger Baby Booties below.

First Half of 2026

It's been a whirlwind of a summer so far, so much so that I forgot to whip up this blog post until now.  2026 has been good to us so far...
