Starstruck

Do you ever watch celebrities on TV and feel that surely, if you had the chance to meet them in person, you'd be the absolute best of friends? For me, Ina Garten (the Barefoot Contessa) is one such celeb. I saw her bio on Chefography on the Food Network the other day and am convinced that we'd just click. She likes food, I like food. She likes Paris, I like Paris. She pronounces "endive" in the French way (AHN-deev), I do too. She drives a Mercedes and lives in the Hamptons, I...well...so we're not EXACTLY alike - but that just means we'd compliment each other as friends that much more! I don't know why I'm so starstruck (starstricken?) by her, but I just am. Anyone else have someone unreachable like this they'd like to befriend?

We had a fun weekend. Jack is totally smitten with "Dada" right now. I think Patrick just plays with him in such a fun, silly way that only a daddy can. They both love it, and I love to watch them. The two of them had fun building a skyscraper of blocks.













































I start having OB appointments every two weeks after this week. They were once a month until now. This means we're entering the home stretch! The glucose test, the Rhogam shot (for those of us with the word "negative" after our blood type)...it won't be long now until we get to meet this new babe, and I'm so excited. She's been practicing her breakdancing skills for the last several days and my stomach's been visibly lurching all over the place. It's my favorite part about being pregnant. It makes the stretch marks, the achy pelvis and the heartburn totally worth it! And no, I wasn't dropping a hint there - just taking a cue from the poll. You seem to think it's going to be a girl. God help me.
