Desperately Seeking Salem
Searching out the sublime, the silly and the surreal in Oregon's capital city.
As the mother of two December babies, one on the 11th and one on the 28th, I feel for you. Have fun and good luck with the Christmas/Birthday presents….or the Birthday/Christmas presents or whatever. Usually by this time of the month I am a bit confused!
Waiting can be so difficult, especially when you get asked about it multiple times daily. Sending peaceful thoughts.
Oh but you look so cute anyway!
Great picture. Hang in there…he’ll be here before you know it!
Thanks everyone. I tried to walk around Salem Center today and bring on some contractions. It kind of worked! Then we had lunch at La Capitale. I have this idea that if it happens in public it needs to be super-dramatic.
You look SO cute!!!
Hope he comes home soon!
Merry Christmas!
Emily, I am liking the “La Capitale” idea a lot.
Reason: Once the baby comes, you have a lot less time/money/energy for fun lunches at nice restaurants. Babies are fun in themselves, of course, but it’s a different kind of fun.
It’s a kind you can’t speed up, for one thing. My son was three weeks “late” so I know this part seems really LONG. So…since you can’t make the baby come quicker, you might as well enjoy yourself and make the “My Favorite Restaurant” circuit often in the waning days of Non-Motherhood. Those are days, after all, that will end, dramatically or not, with very little notice.
Come on Baby!!!! I just check on here to see if your baby has come yet…
Hope you had a great Christmas Miss and Mr. “parents to be”
He was born Decemember 26!
