I'm 34 years old and 34 weeks pregnant this week!
I've been so behind on taking profile shots and doing the updates for 32 and 34 weeks, I thought I'd just do an autumn photo catch-up now, ahead of Christmas pictures. I'll also do a separate house renovation post with before and after shots of each room, once we're finished (hopefully soon?!)
George's first day of school--I asked him to pose in his uniform, and this is what he gave me...
Otley vintage transport extravaganza
George gets a "clean plate" sticker on most days at school!
Church family day out at Flamingo Land
Baby meerkat!
My broken arm--thankfully I only had the plaster cast on for a couple of days, before my assessment with the fracture clinic. They took it off and had me just use the sling ("cuff and collar") for a few more weeks. It's mostly healed up now, just occasionally a bit sensitive if I carry something heavy or George pulls on my arm.
Assembly is one of our new favorite places to eat in Leeds--it's like Trinity Kitchen, with street food stalls all in one place. The Falafel Guys and Pizza Authority are both awesome, and I love that it's kid-friendly, too.
On the day we got the keys to the new house!
Light Night 2019--this one was a flying ballerina
Biscuit's 6th birthday
28 week check-up!
George participated more in carving his pumpkin this year
I carved my pumpkin after George went to bed and he was thrilled when he saw it in the morning and recognized it straight away--"It's a Captain Hook pumpkin!"
Riding the funfair rides at the Christmas Light Switch-On
Off to the States for Thanksgiving break!
Our layover was in Dublin this time--George's first visit to Ireland (if we count airports...)!
George had so much fun playing in the snow in Minnesota!
He also loved celebrating Little Christmas and opening his presents early!
It was so fun getting presents for Baby Paul, too!
I was a little nervous about flying solo with George while being 32-33 weeks pregnant, but it was absolutely fine--George was a champ and slept really well on the long haul flight back to Dublin (4-5 hours out of 8!), and I felt totally fine, just drank lots of water and wore my flight socks
Savouring my proper Mexican food!
I also loved having my usual at Cracker Barrel--so yummy!
George is playing the Star in this year's nativity at school
George dressed up in his Lederhosen for my birthday dinner at the Alp Chalet!
He got lots of attention from the waitstaff and the musician--and a friendly little girl who grabbed his hand and ran around with him for the rest of the evening. He was thrilled--he's been asking us to go back to the German market so he can see her again!
"Zum Geburtstag viel Glueck!"
('Much luck on your birthday,' the German version of the "Happy Birthday To You" song)
