This was a pretty good weekend overall! The wedding on Friday night was fun... It felt really good to put on make-up and get all dressed up. I've always been a fairly low maintenance gal but this pregnancy has taken my primping to an all time low... I've been a total scrub lately wearing my one pair of maternity jeans, leggings and cotton dresses... Since the weather has gotten warmer, I don't even dry my hair... And make-up... What's that? I had forgotten how good it can feel to put on heels, a pretty dress, etc...
On Saturday we headed downtown to look at apartments... It was a REALLY long day and we saw a few apartments before making our final decision that the first apartment we saw (the one I saw earlier in the week) was really perfect for our growing family - we weren't going to find a better space for the price. 2 br/ 2.5 ba, 1200 sq ft, washer / dryer, etc... And the apartment is brand spanking new so we don't have to move into other people's dirt! The floors are super nice... black, wide plank wood, the master bath has a double vanity (my dream - no more sharing a sink with hubby), super high ceilings, amazing appliances (Miele, Bosch), a ridiculous amount of closet and storage space AND the building is a historical landmark with a gym/yoga studio, game room, golf simulator, etc... It's located in the FiDi, an area that I had major reservations about living, but after spending the day there, walking around and experiencing it's close proximity to the parks (BATTERY PARK), all things fabulous (TRIBECA) and knowing that hubby's commute would be five minutes... it just seemed like a no-brainer. Both hubby and I felt really good about the decision, so we put in an application. Once our credit has been checked and approved we can move on to a lease signing, etc... There are still a few things we need to figure out about the area, supermarkets, etc... but in our immediate vicinity is just about everything we need, a Duane Reade, Liquor Store, our bank, a few places to eat, etc.. We also did the seamless web check and even on a Saturday (when things in the FiDi are notoriously always closed) 155 restaurants would deliver to us... you can't beat that!
Next we took a short 10 minute walk to Warren 77 (in Tribeca), a bar owned by a NY Ranger, to meet up with some friends for a beer and a water.
Then we walked a few blocks further north and met up with J and A and baby H for some dinner. H is getting so big!! It's really crazy to watch him grow up. He's over 3 months and now smiles and giggles and he's got a personality... It's my first time really witnessing a baby growing up like this (I pretty much see him once a week)... It's wild how quickly they change and even crazier to think that by the end of the year my little baby will be smiling too.
Speaking of my little guy... he's about the size of an eggplant (according to The Bump) and a Hothouse Cucumber (according to Babycenter). And my uterus is now the size of a basketball!! I can't believe that!
