Whew! Well, I'm finally well on the road to recovery from my little bout of strep throat (no harm done to the bun in the oven). I can now sit back and laugh at the evil trinity which is coughing-pregnancy-incontinence. I was sad to miss out on Thanksgiving but prior to my week of bedridden-ness I managed to have a whole lot of fun (too much? perhaps the lack of work was a shock to my system!) Here are some highlights:
Dennis took this shot on our way to see the Felice Brothers at Pearl Street in Northampton. What a great show! After the second encore, the band brought the crowd onto the stage and yes, I tried to follow. And yes, in my current state I was unable to get up there before my husband could stop me. And yes, so wisely, he did. (I think I managed to get half a leg up first, though). Thanks, baby, for looking out for me!
I am so fortunate to have so many lovely people who celebrated a weekend of mama/baby showers with us in the days following the show. My best girl Marykate threw a lil' ladies-only mama shower, and my in-laws Linda and Dennis opened their home to everyone for a baby shower the next day. Thank you so much everyone who is helping us get ready for this little one!
Of course, I only managed to take one picture the whole weekend. But I made it a good one:
Yes, that's right. It's "Damn! My pussy hurts, that baby done tore me up!" A soothing herbal recipe for post-partum bliss concocted for me by this lady:
A mischievious Marykate. (Okay, two pictures).
Also, I will be doing a show tomorrow in Greenfield, the Center School Rumpus. Stop by and say hello!
