Here comes the sun!

Ahhhhhhh memorial day weekend and we've sprung into June... the official start of summer, and it sure has kicked off in NYC with several consecutive days of 80 and even 90 degree weather. We were off for the long weekend to East Hampton, battling some crowds for sure, but also managed to get to the beach despite some fog and break out some of Maya's kiddie pools and sprinklers in the backyard, and made it to a nearby water park for a day trip. That was fun. Maya loves water slides. It was marvelous to enjoy sunny warm weather.

We have a busy June ahead. Now at 34 weeks with about 6 weeks to go (or less or more) until the arrival of baby girl #2 we've started to think about what our life will look like with two kiddos. There's certainly been less to do to prepare for her arrival, but at some point we do need to decide where she will sleep and make the switch on the stroller from seat to bassinet (so sorry Maya, I did at least buy you a footboard so you could ride on the stroller standing). I've been pulling baby clothes and other items that we had packed away, got the infant car seat back in car which leaves no room in the backseat, and pulled the bouncy seat and other items... and boy do I wish I had more closet space. I think we'll be ready to move to a larger abode in a year. There are some not so distant plans at present to move to Westchester county sometime next year. Closer to Brian's job, more space and good schools and communities. We will miss LIC but are both feeling that our life will require the move and in we're both (yes, even the city slicker here) looking forward to it. More on that later.

This weekend, we're headed to Williamstown for my 10th year college reunion. Time flies! And rounding off the month - Maya finishes off her first year of nursery school in a few weeks, although she will be with them for the summer program a couple of days a week.  She has a ballet showcase with her class to show off what she learned during the semester next weekend and she's likely to be totally uncooperative with all the extra attention. And then it's time to sit and wait, 37 weeks by the end of the month and hope for a visit from the contraction fairy. Who knows what's in store.
