Afternoon tea

I am sitting here drinking a lovely afternoon tea and Bronwen is napping. We went to the library today and it tired her right out. So many books to pull off the shelf! (though, she didn't pull off too many). So many people to smile at! Such a nice open space to run free in! And downstairs in the kids library, so many other kids to look at! And, a box of raisins to find on the table and half-eat before her mother noticed. Well, I hope they weren't too stale, or contaminated.

I added a fun little pregnancy ticker for those interested parties. I find it interesting when they say, "-- days to go!" as if every pregnancy has a definite end date. After Bronwen being born a full 9 days past her 'estimated due date' I am fully preparing myself for this one to do something similar. That way, I'll be really surprised if he/she comes early, and hopefully not as impatient if he/she doesn't!

We are going to leave the gender of this baby a surprise. It's a pretty common question people ask though- 'Do you know what you're having?'. Yup, yup I do. A baby! I think that it is an amazing moment when they say, "It's a boy! or 'It's a girl!' and wouldn't want it any other way. I can see how some people might like to know, for planning purposes or curiosity's sake, and I don't fault them for that.

But it's a really, really fun surprise. There aren't too many surprises like that in life.
