While we wait

Photobucket
Baby number three is not exactly past due date, but when you've been told you will have him within days and then don't, well you start to get a bit anxious.
During this Party, I was 60% effaced and having contractions.
Then somehow I went to 0%.
Yes, 0%!?
So, dear baby #3, what we've been doing to pass the time:
Photobucket
Planted bulbs.  We are exciting like that.
Photobucket
These two can't figure out why we have to wait for two things now.
Photobucket
Memaw came.
Photobucket
She started to work her magic immediately.
Photobucket
I love this man.  He cannot do household chores.  Love him.  Not handy, he knows it.
She is handy.
Photobucket
We carved pumpkins a day late.  But they didn't mind, because we are used to waiting for things these days.  Seems your brother doesn't like to get dirty.  Your sister had NO problem with it.
Photobucket
Your brother, took a face plant.  One of these days, he is going to learn to break his fall.
Photobucket
Memaw and I took in a few sights of Paris thinking it would help you arrive a bit quicker.  It didn't work.  But it was beautiful.
Photobucket
Can anyone name that bridge?
It's my favorite in Paris and that was my first time to walk across it.
Photobucket
Can anyone name the bridge that is covered in locks?  I'll give you a hint, it's not this one.  This couple just felt the need to break the law and attach it to the statue versus the bridge.
Photobucket
I'm drawn to boobs on statues.  Sorry.
Photobucket
There is a lot of corn depicted on this bridge.  I looked up the symbolism.  Anyone know the answer without looking?
Photobucket
My inner bossiness came out when I tried to tell my mother how to take a picture.  She got witty and took a picture of me telling her how to take a picture.
Photobucket
Anyone know this doorway?  It's free to enter and if you're pregnant they will have you go through another door because they don't want you to go through the metal detector.  Made me like the nice little man at the door.
Photobucket
A hint as to what this place is called.  This is a view from the gardens and it houses art as well.  The first painting in this post is housed here as well.
Photobucket
We crossed the street to treat ourselves.  Yes, I had a few sips of that bubbly and no it didn't make you come out, neither did all the walking.  We, and I mean myself, baby #3 and mom, also shared an XXL Millefeuille at Lenotre.  Yum.
Photobucket
Then it was time to head back across the bridge for school pick up.
I'm pretty sure it's the prettiest walk to school anyone can have.
Cheers.
ps-per norm, there are no prizes for your answers, I just like to see how smart you are and I love reading your responses;-)

Musee d'orsay???

Pont d'Archveche

I am guessing that times had been bad and folks were hungry...hence the corn....

And I love the curtains...Ikea??

Evan was 2 weeks late....and it has sort of been that way since.

Love you

Carol

Okay, Carol I count on you for your Librarian and Paris smarts, but this time you win one with your Ikea knowledge! We made them from material bought at Ikea and assembled by me and fusible iron tape.
The trivia game continues...

I'd like to say I was really smart and have answers, but I don't. (and It's been a long day, so I don't have it in me to google it. lol)

I do want to say that I love your blog, and if I lived close, I would bring you dinner when that sweet baby comes! Sending love!
