Eloise got her first haircut, and then dim sum and ice cream after! Sadie had her annual check-up and was in great health! My dear friend Ashley came into town for a quick work trip, so we had dinner at Marination Station. Daphne and I had play dates with new friends while Eloise was in school. Daphne turned SIX MONTHS and Eloise started her second year of pre-school! We kicked-off football season at the Andersons’. We had a play date with two new neighbors. We celebrated Labor Day and the end of summer vacation. Eloise stayed overnight at the Sadliers’ for her first night away, and Aaron, Daphne, and I went out on a sushi date at Musashi’s and ice cream at Molly Moon’s (basically the best date EVER)! We picked up Eloise and headed over to Flower World in Maltby to pick up some plants for the yard. I went to bed early and then went into labor! And Eloise told her friends and teachers that I had a baby BOY even though I didn’t! At 41 weeks I went to see the mid-wife and had my membranes swept (and started scheduling an ultrasound and no-stress test for the end of the week). I posted my last pregnancy weekly picture (at 39 weeks). I got a mani-pedi and Aaron and Eloise had a date to the Symphony. I celebrated my 32nd birthday and got to have lunch with my childhood best friend and her son! I shared some maternity photos. We had play dates with friends, a (birthday/Valentine’s Day) date night at my very favorite restaurant Serafina, went to the Children’s Museum, and I had my first (and only) pre-natal massage. And I started seeing the midwives every week. Baby Foot was “full term” as we entered Birthday Month (but decided not to make an appearance this month see next month…) and we had our last meeting with Jennie, our doula, before the birth.
