We took a quick day trip to Portland last weekend because Papa, Aunty Amy, and Malia were in town. This was Esme's first long road trip since we've moved her carseat to a forward facing position and she liked that much better. She stayed awake for most of the ride down to OR and then fell asleep in the last 30 minute stretch of course. On the way home it was completely the opposite. She played so hard all day that she was worn out and so she fell asleep as soon as we got on the highway and slept for 2 1/2 hours which was way longer than we expected. When she woke up it was already dark and we only had 30 minutes left till we got home. We thought she'd be fussy and wanting to get out of the carseat but it was exactly the opposite. She was absolutely thrilled to see all the lights - cars, street lights, billboards, towns, etc. She was laughing and pointing to everything like it was Christmas. Then Allen and I realized that we rarely drive with her at night since we try to keep her bedtime routine as consistent as possible and get her in bed around 7pm every night. It was hilarious until we got home and she started throwing a fit cause she wanted to stay in the car and keep driving to see more lights.

Today I had my 34 week visit with the midwives. Baby was still head down and my belly grew the expected 2cm from the last visit. Heart rate was in the high 140's and Esme was determined to lay on the exam table with me while the midwife did all of this. I received my updated Tdap vaccine and we got information to start discussing our birth plan for the next visit. It was a beautiful day out so we decided to go for an early picnic dinner near the Kirkland waterfront and Esme was excited to watch all the other kids that were out and the ducks. We were excited cause she was distracted enough that she'd eat whatever dinner food we put in her mouth without protest ;)
