Weekend Update

We had a great weekend. For Derek's 40th birthday, I had surprised him by taking him to see Stevie Wonder at the Apollo. It was hard to out-do that last year. For his 42nd birthday, thanks to Dave and Roxanne's presense (and fun!) and Lauren and Mike joining us, we had a great time. Dinner was awesome. They accomodated us so nicely. We had an extra person with us, and they made sure that they were able to give us the one table that could accomodate seven people. The food was delicious, the waiter knowledgable but not intrusive. They didn't rush us. The conversation was great, with lots of laughter and interesting thoughts. Just a couple pictures....








We saw SuperBad yesterday. It was okay. More sophmoric than I expected. Preferred Knocked Up as the "comedy of the season," but certainly laughed and could relate to awkward adolescent memories.

We had our first sonogram today. About 11 1/2 weeks along. Derek was freaking out because the baby was moving a lot (doing what appeared to be "high jumps" from one side of my uterus to the other) but wouldn't move into the position the doctor wanted to get a measurement of the neck and fluid by the neck. Derek was very worried that this was "abnormal." I had to have him do deep breaths and assure him it was no big deal. By the end, the baby flipped around and got in just the right position.




Oh, and the doctor and technician both confirmed it is a boy.
