While Waiting--Walking the City

Saturday was absolutely beautiful. We left at 9:30am and got home around 6:30pm. It's been a while since we've spent the whole day out and about and I loved it! (Although my hips are aching something terrible now.) June 4th was the due date, I'm now 4 days late, and we walked about 4 miles total. And, still waiting...

Here are some photo highlights from our day in the city:

Starting off with a (silly) protein shake.

Housing Works was having huge sale: all books $1, bag full of clothes $20.
I scored some great kids books, but skipped the clothes.
This was down in Soho; Crosby & Houston Streets


Soho

Call me silly, but I'm always amazed there's actually dirt under this city of cement.

Washington Square Park
I'm so glad all the renovations are finished and the fountain is working!

Baby boy: 40 weeks +3 days
Isabella: pure joy

Union Square Greenmarket

Madison Square Park

All tuckered out.

Other highlights:

The new, carfree Broadway

Dogmatic--gourmet sausages in a baguette with delicious sauces. We were hesitant to try it out, but the place was busy, we took a chance and really liked it! Give it a try if you are near Union Square (26 E 17th St.)

  3. I can't believe your tummy either! Where is this baby? :) I have to hand it to you--when I was that pregnant a few summers ago with #2, I was just lying around. Walking to the bathroom was more than I could handle. LOL
