Hurricane Prep

It's a bit surreal right now knowing that this big storm is coming but having no idea what to expect. We did attempt to be responsible by buying water and a few non-perishables and I also charged the drill batteries for our one flashlight. And now we wait.

Tomorrow and Tuesday should be interesting. In one way, I'm quite happy that we're in NYC because everything is close. If we absolutely need something, we'll figure out how to get it. In another way, it's a bit scary because if anything major happens, we're stuck on this little island with 8 million other people.

Fortunately, there are several families in our building with families of similar age. We'll end up having rotating playdates to keep all of the little ones busy (and keep the parent sane)!

Fingers crossed that we don't lose power as we'll also lose water (and that does freak me out). More to come..

Echo echo echo...

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.

Sunday Afternoon in the Park

Could be a well known play, but in this case, it's the new Yankee Stadium. I picked up tickets Thursday afternoon for today's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is the first game we've been to at the new stadium. The new stadium is very nice - much more in line with other new stadiums. There is a lot more space in the walkways - more food options - and much better bathrooms! The latter being most important to me right now. Our tickets were in left field in the upper deck. All in all, decent seats - but the sun made them a bit unbearable. The game started off slow - I mean slow. The first two innings took almost 2 hours. We were roasting in the sun! Eventually, we decided to walk around to check out the rest of the stadium and get out of the sun. The game got much better after we starting moving. Eventually, we ended up on the first level watching the game from the walkway. The pregnancy bump paid off, because one of the ushers in this area let us sit down in the shade
