The 29th (nearly 30th week) of my pregnancy was wrought with lots of ups and downs. I was going through a ton of reorganization crisis at work, stressed beyond comprehension, and yet… well, something wonderful also happened. By sheer happenstance I was able to take a mini break from work (a much needed salvation), and it also allowed me to plan a last minute, impromptu anniversary dinner at Per Se, featured here.
We had initially intended to go away to Rhinebeck in celebration of our anniversary. Though when that fell through (and I wasn’t disappointed that it did, given all of the stress from work and given that munchkin was under the weather), I was almost despondent that we were just going to let the whole affair slide. Though never fear! What is life without a little streak of adventure, I say. Thanks to a last minute strike of luck on Opentable, coupled with a back-up sitter, we were able to sneak in for an early-ish sit down at Per Se. The rest was history.
I put on my favorite navy dress (a seven months pregnancy staple), last seen here at 27 weeks, coupled with this lightweight floral sheath that I purchased recently (more of a hippie child look but I am kind of loving it for pregnancy). The only thing that was missing was a nice fedora to go with, though I suppose that wouldn’t have fitted in very well for Per Se! You can’t quite see it, but I was wearing this peacock hair piece that I purchased from my recent trip to Salem… a little bit of art & period piece to accompany our fine dining experience!
P.S. Would you believe... EIGHT YEARS OF MARRIAGE! We have a beautiful little three year old at home -- who drives us bonkers half the time but we love him to pieces... and another little man on the way!!! Time truly flies when you're doing so much together.
