Maryam and I decided to participate in two hackathons at work and due to a schedule change, they happened to overlap. There’s this mobilithon that took place over the course of the last two weeks. It sucked because I was the only one with time to work on the app. I did the best I could, but it’s not all that thrilling. It’s extremely unlikely that we’ll win.
The other, was a CDT event that took place over the course of two days last week. We did nothing but work on the app those two days as a team, so it was much more fun. We used a drag and drop tool since some of our team didn’t code, but the thing had its own learning curve. In the end, we had a pretty good idea and a solid app. Unfortunately the judging was done based on a three minute presentation and the team that won, it turns out, bought their template from somewhere? Oh so I’ve been told. Either way, I didn’t think ours was the best, but I was proud of it and our presentation. Oh and it turns out, half our team is pregnant :D and the other half has kids. We should have been “the mommies.”
In between this madness was baby shower #1. We got quite a lot of useful/fun baby gear and had enough food to feed a small army. If I was measuring small, I don’t think I am anymore :p I gained four pounds this last week. Oh those cupcakes! Many thanks to Bryan’s mommy and mine. Lyn is the artist behind the fruit baby.
And my 32 week pic from today.
32 weeks?! WHAT?! Crazy how time flies. Wow. I love love love the baby fruit bundle that you had at your shower. So cute. I love it. I have decided to have my baby showers after the baby is born. Yes, I’d love to get some things ahead of time, but I still think afterward will work. That way people get to meet the baby.
I really have no idea what a hackathon or mobilithon or CDT are, but it sounds like you had fun? I am sorry that your app didn’t win, but at least you are proud of all your hard work. Yay.
