A few weeks ago we went to a park only about 30 minutes away right on the New York/New Jersey state line. It was pretty hot out so we didn't do too much walking, but it was beautiful overlooking the Hudson River. The pictures are taken from the New Jersey side. As you drive up the Palisades Parkway, there are a ton of places to stop along the way for the views and hikes.
Last week my parents came for one night to drop off some things for the baby. I knew I wanted a glider/rocking chair, but while many of them are very comfortable, I think a lot of them are ugly. So, a while back my parents offered us a glider from the Amish Country as a baby gift. A couple months ago we went to visit them and went to some furniture stores in the Pennsylvania Amish country to find one we liked. (I have to admit though, David and I prefer the Amish country of Ohio much more...for not living in Ohio that long we seemed to have made a lot of trips up there.) We found a chair we loved, so my parents picked that up and brought it to us last week. The ottoman is not finished yet, but should be in a couple more weeks. I still need to get a cushion for it, but it is surprisingly very comfortable without one. The picture doesn't do it justice, maybe one of these days I will use an actual camera instead of my phone.
On Thursday I celebrated my 32nd birthday. Why is it that as you get older, birthdays get less exciting? David took the day off and we hung out, I had a dr. appt, and we went out to dinner. He surprised me with a bracelet from Tiffany's with a place on the bracelet for me to get the baby's initials engraved on it - which we have yet to come up with...ahhh!!! 
On Wednesday I had an early birthday celebration lunch with my friends Liann and Ellie.
Yesterday we went into the city, and I am so glad we did, the temps were in the low 80s! We went to the Met for a few hours.
Can you spot David in this picture below?
After the Met we walked through Central Park and then went to a BBQ place for lunch/dinner that I have been wanting to try. We ate a lot, but I do not feel guilty...I am 38 weeks pregnant and walked from 86th street to 26th street (with minimal complaining might I add;)). Don't worry, this was shared between the 2 (or 3;)) of us!
Last weekend David hung some stuff in the nursery. This is the only picture I have taken...I am waiting for the rest of it to be finished (no rush David, the baby could be here any day;)). There is some meaning behind the framed pictures. For as long as I can remember my mom has sent me Winnie the Pooh cards, and I have saved them all. I went through and picked a few out (most of them she sent to me in college) to frame. The two green frames are pictures of David and me that were at my shower, and the "Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow" was a print I found online a few years ago that I always wanted to get for a nursery. I think the Doxology is one of the first things I had to memorize in Sunday School.
As of today I am a little over 38 weeks....2 weeks (let's hope it's not longer!) to go!!
