Everyone's in Place

Clint was off, and the three of us spent the morning at the Daytona Beach Farmer's Market after having bagels at Einstein's. The Farmer's Market a huge place, so we did lots of walking. They have lots of junk (t-shirts, touristy stuff, etc.) but also some good looking inexpensive veggies and fruits. Afterwards, we went to the Lake Mary Farmer's Market, which is much more upscale, though smaller. A nice little local place. There's one booth with tons of unusual pastas and we bought some rosemary garlic linguine to try. I'll have to go there again and buy some spicy pasta to take home for Matt to try. I'm sure he'd love it.

It wasn't long after we arrived home that Gene came. He'll be spending most of the week here until he has to go back Thursday and help Matt get all his stuff from school since this is his last week and the week of finals. (I can't believe school is over already!) I miss Matt and Josh. It seems like forever since I've seen them.

We had another of the $25 restaurant.com gift certificates and finally used it for dinner at Mykonos Greek Restaurant. Kind of rude service, but a very good meal and tons to take home. My favorite thing there is the avgolemono soup and as the first course I really could have stopped right there but I had ordered the combination plate with moussaka, pastitsio, stuffed grape leaves and gyro. I ended up taking a lot of it back home.

Kelly thinks she is going to stay pregnant forever and is not happy with that thought. She has decided that she is too well nourished and that her prenatal supplement with DHA and the Omega fatty acids prolong pregnancy, after reading that in a study online. It seems they are advising pregnant women to stop taking it in the 36th week to avoid postdate pregnancy. (Of course, she never got that advice.) Interesting, if this is true, that they are giving this supplement to women and it's also in a lot of foods today and then they are inducing huge percentages of women (up to 75% in some hospitals) because they haven't given birth by 41 weeks. (So typical of the medical establishment.) They still don't know the exact trigger for labor and there are lots of hypotheses, but I think a good one is the health of the placenta, so it would make sense that the more well nourished you are, the longer the baby hangs out inside.

Kelly thinks she has tracked down the date she conceived -- July 26th, her Dad's birthday -- and I'm sure she is right. So, her due date is right on track, with what she thought in the first place. Guess baby Eleanor hasn't gotten that news yet!
