Well, the weekend is over. Marlowe's father came and left and everything is once again, how it was before his visit-- back to normal life. It was probably the best weekends we've had together since Marlowe's birth. High tension at points, but no fighting and little disagreements. I laugh more since having Marlowe-- it helps. As long as she's happy, I'm happy. &even when she's not happy, I'm okay, because I know: we've got a really good life going on here.
We took Marlowe to Miami on saturday. We visited the raw market that we had visited a million times before together. I picked up a few spices and we snacked on some lunch. We debated on taking Marlowe to the Fairchild Gardens where we once members of or visiting Viscaya-- a mansion and garden near where we used to live. Not planning our day very well--- we realized it was much later than we had thought and most outdoor places were closing. We chose Viscaya giving us an hour and a half to roam the gardens. It was beautiful. It's ridiculous that we had never visited before. We tried to think of reasons why, but we have no excuse. I wish I had known what I was missing, I would have went everyday. I really can't wait to take Marlowe back. I cannot describe how gorgeous it was &my pictures don't do the views any justice.
We stopped for coffee and drove back north. We stopped at Pizzeria (where I'm sure everyone was beyond confused to why I was there with someone other than Eric) and then headed back to my house.
Sunday consisted of: coffee, a grumpy morning with two hungry parents, cuban food, purchasing a stroller, the park where Marlowe could meet his mother, the beach, &dinner at home.
He made many attempts to use the baby-sling this weekend, but Miss Marlowe only wanted to be in her mama's ams. Practically every walk, definitely every meal, and every activity at home: I held her. But she was a champ throughout the weekend: slept in the car, played at the beach, happy during meals, and so on. I'm a lucky mama.

The Market
A mess of food. I spy a fruit pie in the background.
sneak attack.
lost in a maze.
my favorite thing.
Getting coffee for the Cuban (Jewban).
Sunday:
He may not be in her life much, &he may not have done much for either her or I since I became pregnant, but despite everything: he is her father, &I still care about him, &at one point I loved him, so we've got to do the best with this life we've got.

Thank you for all the lovely comments on the baby bump post. I'm silly (I was a first timer with zero baby belly experience) & I thought that blue dress would actually be able to make throughout the whole pregnancy. It wasn't very long before my breasts and ribs outgrew that dress. ha. Thanks again guys :)
Don't forget: if you've got anymore questions to the vegan post: ask! There are no dumb questions and I'm happy to answer or help with anything :)
