Just Another Day in London

While my hubby is working, I have spent much of my time sleeping in (way in!), relaxing and enjoying London.

On Tuesday, I had lunch in Soho at a pizzaria; although, not what you would think of as an American pizzaria.  It was a lovely sit-down restaurant where I leisurely enjoyed my caprese salad (fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and olive oil) served with hot out of the oven Italian flat bread.  It was delicious!  I wandered down Regent Street and stopped into many shops along the way.  I was hoping to find some things to bring home to the kids, but I haven’t found anything yet for little Spunky, besides some candy treats.

I walked all the way down Regent St. to Piccadilly Circus and browsed in a few more shops before heading back to the hotel.  In all, except for my lunch, I walked for about three hours.  I am definitely getting my exercise here in London. Today I am taking it easy and trying to rest before the late night that we have planned: Westminster Cathedral, Covent Garden for dinner and then a Jazz concert at 9:30.

I am really enjoying all this time that I am spending with my wonderful husband.  We haven’t had this much time together since before the kiddos were born!

Many of you have been asking about how I am feeling, and I am doing very well.  By the first night, my feet had swelled up to about double their size (I even had to find a new pair of shoes- Crocs- to fit my feet into).  But the swelling has subsided and I am able to wear my favorite Clarks again- they are much more comfortable for walking around.  There were several days where I was having a lot of Braxtion Hicks contractions, but those have slowed down as well.  I quickly learned that walking slowly, drinking a lot of water, and taking short breaks helps a lot.

I just love it here in London.  I love the city, the temperature, the people.  But I really miss my kids.  Sunday was the hardest day for me, it was the longest I had ever been away from Punky (day one was the longest I had ever been away from Spunky).  But I am doing better now- keeping busy helps.  I keep thinking this is probably going to be my last chance to have time to myself for a very while; so I need to enjoy every minute of it, even the quiet moments alone in my hotel room.

I look forward to catching up with everyone (in real life or through blogs) once I get back home.

Here are some more photos for you to enjoy!
