DATE NIGHT (WITH CAPTIONS)

After a long time of thinking about it, (and a few failed attempts)  Erick and I were finally able to sneak in a date night yesterday.  It felt so good to get out of the house for a few hours, but I'm not even kidding, the WHOLE time all we could talk about was our baby!  I'm sure that's a given now at this point, though.

The place we drove up to was Paddy Long's, a hidden little joint up in the Northside.  Three words- bacon and beer.  Paddy Long's has a special that is unique to their pub where you come and taste five different beers paired with five delicious strips of bacon from around the globe.  I never imagined how awesome of an idea it was to eat bacon as you drank a beer, but I AM AWARE now.  Erick and I shared a few rounds and ate way too much food... seriously.  Check out Paddy Long's menu and read the description of the bacon bomb.  Yeah, I told you.  That is some Epic Meal Time if I've ever seen it.  To top the night off, as we were having our last beer, the power in the bar went out and we were able to sit romantically by candlelight and enjoy each other's company for a few more minutes.

So what does Sofia think about all this?  Let's just say it probably won't be happening anytime soon.  The girl is smart.  It's like she knows when we're getting ready to leave her because the chill, well- mannered baby we had turned into an inconsolable crying troublemaker in the matter of a few days.  I could just picture what was going on inside her tiny little head:


OH HAI MOM AND DAD!  I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!  ARE YOU GOING TO STAY AND PLAY WITH ME?


OH. YOU WANT TO GO ON A DATE, HUH?  LET ME CALL MY SECRETARY SEE IF I CAN PENCIL YOU IN ANOTHER TIME.


HI, SECRETARY.  MOM AND DAD WANT TO DATE.  AM I FREE IN A FEW HOURS?


HMM... I AM? ARE YOU SURE? CUS I REEEALLY WANT THEM TO STAY.


OKAY!  I LOVE YOU ANYWAY!  SEE YOU IN A FEW HOURS!

    I'll see if I can manage that... Lol. Erick has yet to stand infront of a camera for a pic yet let one write anything... Plus I only have one adorable person to take pics of while he's working! Haha. But I will try. I know too many baby pics everyday can get annoying!

the birthing of alba mae

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience.  What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball".  I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was  different, maybe it really was a baby boy.  Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once. My little may flower. Saturday night, the air was warm and sticky.  Sofia, Erick and I read stories by a big window fan in her room trying to distract ourselves from the heat in our upstairs apartment. ...
