After months of drinking seltzer mixed with ginger ale and lots of Olipop, I've been really wanting a good cocktail. I'm only a few weeks out from a dirty martini, but in the meantime, I've been experimenting with mocktail recipes at home that I can easily add liquor to for Anel to enjoy as a regular cocktail too.
We are officially under 4 weeks until our due date and while people loveeeee to tell a pregnant woman that her pregnancy "has just flown by!" I can assure you that I've been with child for at least 97 weeks :) Last August, when we found out, feels like an eternity ago.
As of Friday, I was 1cm dilated which was very exciting news.
I was chatting with a friend of mine who recently had a baby about how sick I am of leggings and sweatshirts (pretty much all I can fit into right now!) and she suggested treating myself to a dress I'm excited to wear postpartum so that I have something to look forward to. That day I ordered a beautiful navy and white Indian block-print caftan from Emerson Fry after she told me she lived in hers with her newborn.
One of the things I always miss most about living in the city is my regular Hillstone dates with girlfriends. Yes, Hillstone. I also miss all of our small favorite restaurants but Hillstone will always have a place in my heart. I have many a memory of meeting friends there for dirty martinis and a hodgepodge of spinach artichoke dip, yellowtail sashimi salad, and french fries after work...
