Mia went to João Gilberto's show at Carnigie Hall



Me and Eran at NYU resident's graduation party / Me in front of Carnigie Hall before concert / João Gilberto performing

This weekend was busy. Lots of dancing at the party on friday and concert on sunday! I was really hoping that Mia would wait until after this concert to be delivered. I truly wanted her to hear the father of Bossa Nova performing live! She moved and had minor contractions during the entire show while me and Eran caressed her! It was magical! She is 39 weeks now and still needs to drop down...

38.5 Weeks Pregnant...I Feel Like...


I'm so bloated and puffy, I feel like a Botero painting / I'm so tired, I feel like I turned into a pillow...

This past week I felt so many different things, so many body changes...The weather was REALLY hot, and all of a sudden I got very bloated. My feet was incredibly puffy, just like a Botero painting. Also I was unbelievably tired, only wanted to be in bed all day. I felt like I was becoming a pillow...Than the weather got better and I wasn't so bloated anymore...I thought things were getting better when I pulled a muscle in my lower back! OHHH! It's been almost 3 days that I have to be in bed rest...But I managed to go to my weekly doctors appointment: The baby is still really high up...It seems like she is very comfortable and doesn't want to come out so soon...even though her due date is June 28th!

More Body Painting | Inspired Mama


Body Stamp Series: Black paint on paper / Gold paint on paper

I did the body painting (or body stamp) one more time and I guess this was the last opportunity to do this artwork before the end of my pregnancy. It was an amazing weekend at Suely's home in Long Island, Ronkonkma, just doing art and getting dirty! I loved it!

My Birthday | Prenatal Massage & Movie | A Girly Day!



Me, Cris, Mari Castro, Mari Dutra, Samanta, Sabrina and Teresa

The Girls planned to watch Sex and the City! After million e-mails trying to coordinate the best time and location for all of us, we decided to go on tuesday. A few days later I realized: Oh, tuesday is June 3rd! It's my birthday! So since I'm expecting a little girl I thought it was a great way to celebrate my birthday! Good excuse, right? So I had an amazing day: Eran gave me a Prenatal Massage in a very cool spa as a gift, than I had lunch with my friend Hosanna in a macrobiotic restaurant and went for a pedicure and manicure! After that I went shopping for the last baby stuff we need in Baby's are Us and Eran met me there! We hang out for a little while and than I finally met the girls in the movie line, and there were almost ONLY woman on line, really funny! We all enjoyed, laughed, screamed and cried in the movie! And Mia moved nonstop, I think she was having a good time, too! Than we went for drinks and appetizers at Pipa, a totally cool and girly looking restaurant!
