Waiting, waiting, and more waiting....

I have officially started maternity leave and I am loving it! It has been so relaxing and has allowed me to get some stuff together and feel ready for our little arrival. But he still isn't here yet! For some reason, both Patrick and I thought he would come early. Apparently, that is not the plan, seeing as how I am 39 weeks pregnant! But he will come on God's timing, which will be perfect. All we can do now is wait, wait and wait some more...

For our anniversary, I surprised Patrick and took him to the Firehouse Restaurant in Old Town Sacramento. It is a really nice restaurant with such a great atmosphere. We had a really nice dinner - we had the chef's tasting menu, so we had appetizers, salad, soup, our main course - fabulous steak, and dessert! It was awesome! (I was 31 weeks prego)

From Colleen's Birthday

For my birthday, Patrick and my family come up and surprise us at church. We then went out to brunch after. The restaurant brought me a candle in a cinnamon roll - yummy!! It was a perfect way to celebrate my birthday!

Vista Volleyball - Ranked #4!!!

I am so proud of my hubby! The Sacramento Bee did a big article on Patrick and Vista Volleyball. I am so proud of what he has accomplished with this team and how humble he is.... he would never ask me to post this so that's exactly why I am! Vista had a big game on Monday night against El Camino and won in 5 games, and now they are ranked #4 in the Sacramento Area!! So cool!!

Northern California Shower

Our small group girls threw me a baby shower at the end of July. It was so fun to get together to celebrate the coming of our little one! It is so awesome to have such great friends.

I love baby elephants, so that was the theme for the shower. There are so many talented girls in our group... one made the cake and it was delicious! And one made the baby elephant banner! Such talent!!

The girls did such a great job. We played a couple games and the best was they had recorded Patrick answering questions, so the girls would ask me the question to have me answer it, then ask me if Patrick would get it right. The questions were all about baby stuff, like "What is swaddling?", "What is the APGAR score?", "How many times a day does a newborn need their diaper changed?" The best one was "What is colic?" Patrick answered - where their hair only wants to go one direction. Hilarious!!

Southern California Shower

At the end of July my family threw me a shower. It was so much fun to see everyone. We had a great time celebrating the newest addition to the family. My mom, aunts and cousins were there as well as my grandmother and some close family friends.
