Saturday night saw us driving to Queen Anne for Apoo's birthday bash. Food, banter and wii bit of fun. Samosas were yummy. Dates stuffed with goat cheese, anyone? I so loved it. We took with us a bottle of Lost Sonnet Meritage 2007 Napa Valley Red Wine. As I waddled in with the basket ball tummy, I was swooped by one and all in many hugs and cheers. "Congratulations!", "How far are you?" and when I said I am due next month, hands were slapped to mouths and gasps were let out. And then there was the "Do you know if it is a boy or a girl?" , " Have you thought of a name?", "Are you ready?", blah blah.
The thing that really zapped me was the fact that Peanut already has a friend in two year old Samara. Not even out yet and she's making friends! I think she will be a social butterfly. I can't imagine how, given how reserved both A and I are. At a party when someone approaches us for small talk, we are the types who would take a forkful of spaghetti and promptly stuff it in our mouths and chew and chew while waiting for the poor chap to go befriend someone else. Gah! No, we are not so bad. But we are happy to be in our own little world. Peanut's arrival is bound to make huge changes. Time to strap on the seat belts and enjoy the ride!
