39 weeks and waiting :-)

I love a good three-day weekend. While I wouldn't have been upset if baby Miller decided to come super early, it has been SO nice having these past two weekends to hang out, just the two of us.  We had a great weekend of dates, spending more money than normal since we know we will be in our house for at least the next few months.

Friday night, we had dinner at Lola's, a little hole in the wall Italian restaurant Grant's coworkers recommended.  It good- but I think I still like Mezzo at Creekside and they are comparable in price.  We then went and saw Gahanna Community Theatre's production of Mame, which was ok.  Not my favorite show ever, but we love supporting GCT and the local arts :-)

Saturday, we slept in (ok, more like I woke up at 6:45 and chose to stay in bed for an hour). Grant made me banana pancakes for breakfast, and then we headed out to have a coffee date (used a gift card). I got a half caf latte, which is my current pregnancy guilty pleasure.  

During our coffee date, I was reading Isaiah, and I come across this verse: "Woe to those... who say 'Let God hurry, let him hasten his work so we may see it...'" (Isaiah 5:19a)  Ouch.  Definitely not the verse you want to read when you are 39 weeks pregnant, wanting to meet your little one!! Anyways, it was a good perspective changer, so I am going to continue to pray for patience and just trust that as always, God's timing is perfect.  Even if I go a week past my due date :-)  Five different people have told me I have dropped based on the picture Grant put on facebook... and I definitely feel like he is verrry low... but it could still be awhile.  

again, I'm a whale.  or "large and in charge," as I say at school.

We followed our coffee date by a lunch date... and then saw "The Iron Lady," the movie about Margaret Thatcher (thanks Laura for the AMC gift card!).  It was definitely a good film (though I don't need to see it again) but was also sad as it showed her struggle with dementia.  I cried at one point (darn pregnancy emotions) because I felt sorry for her husband and kids because she was so busy working all of the time.  I admire her though, as a woman in politics, and think a lot of what she said was ahead of her time... my favorite quote was: "It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone."... so true about politics today.  We walked around Easton afterwards & then came home for frozen pizza and caught up on The Office and Modern Family...and ate some ice cream.   I did have contractions every 10 minutes for a few hours, but they weren't painful and they were only in my stomach... but then they stopped.  And clearly, I'm still pregnant.  

Anyways, thanks GLM for a wonderful weekend of dates!! ILY :)
