38 weeks

Some statistics for the last 38 weeks: Mom has gained close to 40 pounds. Dad was up a few pounds initially (see the week 19 entry), but is now net negative--probably because Mom eats all of the food off of his plate. Mom's waist is now exactly 10 inches larger than Dad's (and it was "definitely" smaller than his before I entered the picture--at least that's what she says). Thankfully, for Mom's mental well-being, she still weighs less than Dad--although not by a lot.

This week my Aunt Anu and my mom's good friend Alyssa threw my mom a fabulous baby shower (in my honor, of course) with afternoon tea at the Rittenhouse Hotel in Philadelphia. Both grandparents flew in--the grandmothers attended the shower while the grandfathers went to a Philly's baseball game with my dad. (I have a feeling this is the last time I'll be going to afternoon tea with the ladies over a baseball game--especially if my dad has anything to say about it!) Mom got to spend time with many of her favorite women, and her friends showered her with basically everything that I need for the next year of my life.

I got a serious sugar load after mom had some of this:


The best aunt in the whole world...

And mommy thought she was big before!

My parents celebrated their 4th wedding anniversary this weekend with a trip to Washington D.C. This will be their last trip without me!
