May is ticking right along despite the weather refusing to let go of the cold. Next week we leave for Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for 5 days of rest and relaxation in the sun and on the beach and I'll get to try out my maternity tankini swimsuit. It's been a-while since we've gone on vacation, and we're both feeling a little bit beat and very ready for one. Brian is more settled at his job now and it will likely be our last vacation as a couple without junior in tow, well at least she's still extremely portable. Our next trips will likely require more 'stuff' for baby Maya.
The belly continues to grow and has settled on a very round basketball shape and size. Overall I'm feeling really good at 6 months. We're in week 25 (rutabaga week) and 30 weeks feels right around the corner. This weekend I had my first baby shower with grad school friends from Duke in DC, which was a lot of fun. Maya's wardrobe already looks better outfitted than my maternity one, complete with terry cloth bathrobe for lounging, caps and gowns and matching booties, coordinated towel and wash cloth sets and a onesie that reads "tiny democrat". Having the international do-gooder friends that I do, gifts were also delivered from Bangladesh from Ann who is in the foreign service and Loren from her trip to Tanzania. Won't find that at babies r us. It was a great weekend trip and I made it back in time on Sunday to attend our Bradley childbirth class which we have been doing for the past few weeks and we're both enjoying, perhaps more than we thought. All to get ready for D-day.
Still no word on whether we'll be in our apartment by then. The latest from our developer was that we'll have a July move in date, but we're becoming accustomed to being lied to. Still - the building looks good, lobby is done and apartment units on
the 4th floor are finished so one would assume the 5th floor (our floor) isn't far behind. The hallways are still a mess and I have no desire to move into a partially completed building with infant and dogs in tow. We shall see...
