At 35 weeks I reached a point where when I come home from work I put on my “barefoot and pregnant” outfit…

Baby Jack continues to grow and move around in utero like a champ. What I believe to be his foot pops out on the right side quite often or he likes to “tickle” me under the right ribs with his toes from time to time.
Depending on the day and time I’ve gained between 27-30 pounds and I’ve begun to want sweets more often. I’m usually a salt craver, but now it’s sugar. Or kale. Don’t ask me how those two things go together.
I had a SoCal baby shower, which was fun! I didn’t take enough photos, but was so grateful to everyone who came and those who were clearly there in spirit. What was cool is I had friends from every stage of my life (high school, college, grad school, s factor and la life). Thank you!
Here are a few photos.
Out of focus, but this is a most of the group, missing R’s mom and aunts who managed to avoid being photographed. At least my Mom is in there…

And here is the cute and very yummy ice cream cake…

And thank you to my WU gals for your very generous gift…

One of the coolest things was getting to see Emily, who brought her new baby-boy, who is also named Jack!! Hooray for two Jacks who can have playdates. He is so cute and sweet…

Later in the weekend, R helped unpack baby gear boxes and assembled several important items, like our stroller frame…



After all the unpacking, our house has been “babied”…



From the looks of it, I think we might be having a baby pretty soon. What do you think?

Yeah baby! And that is one cute pregnancy outfit!!!
You should try the kale chips at whole foods. They have weird flavors like orange creamsicle and chocolate chip! I haven’t tried them but they do put your two cravings together. Who knows, they might be the ultimate Ali pregnancy food. 🙂
You look really really really really cute! Enjoy these last couple/few weeks! May I suggest a movie in the theater… A play… A dinner at a quiet restaurant! These are all things that will be few and far between in the next couple months! So excited for you guys! Make sure rory has our cell phone #s for text/updates! Xxxxoooo.
I have been thinking about you SO MUCH lately. I am so excited for you!!!!
