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.

Pregnancy Pics
I wanted to get some pregnancy pictures done - these are a few of my favorite! They were really fun to take and I think it will be nice to be able to remember this special time. We are 30 weeks prego in these pics!

Point Reyes - Our last vacation before baby!
Patrick and I decided to take one last vacation before our little one arrives. We went to Point Reyes Station. It is a little north of San Francisco and is famous for its creameries. We got to spend a couple days their enjoying the cool ocean air. It was such a nice break from the heat!
The first day we were there, we drove to the ocean. After leaving SLO we both miss the ocean so much, so it was so nice to get to be on the beach with sand between our toes! Even if it was a little cold!! We are 29 weeks prego here - the belly is growing bigger by the week!
We stayed in a cute bed and breakfast and got to enjoy the local restaurants. They all have really fresh ingredients, mostly all organic, and the cheese was amazing! Patrick was loving it! Cowgirl Creamery was in the little town and we got to sample some really great cheeses. They were making cheese in the building and while we were there they opened the door to where the cheese was and oh my goodness the smell was terrible! I started gagging! That may be due to prego nose, but the smell was pretty overwhelming. But seeing them make the cheese was pretty cool.
The second day we were there we drove down to San Francisco. We thought that we would take the little coastal road down to San Francisco and it was the curviest road that we have ever been on in our lives! Patrick was getting car sick and he was driving! We finally made it out and made our way down to San Fran and had a picnic at the Exploratorium and then did a little shopping.
That night we ended up eating at 3 different restaurants! It was so fun. We went to this really nice restaurant where we originally just wanted to look at the menu but before we knew it, they seated us. Then it was really uncomfortable because we didn't want to stay but we didn't feel like we could just leave. The prices were ridiculously high, so we ordered a salad and appetizer and then left. So we were still hungry and went to another restaurant where they had amazing pizza - it was probably the best Margarita pizza I have ever had in my life! Yum!! But they didn't have anything for dessert, so off to another restaurant to satisfy my sweet tooth! We ended the night with great dessert and full tummies!
We had a great time. It was nice to get away and relax! Hopefully we can remember what it felt like when baby comes. =)

Fun at the Pool!
It is hot! So we decided to escape the heat by going to the pool. These two cuties had a great time splashing around and cooling down.

4th of July - 27 Weeks Prego!
We had a great 4th of July weekend! On July 3rd we brought some of our friends dinner and had a great time hanging out with them and their new little baby. On the way we stopped at the Town Center where they were launching fireworks. We had perfect timing... got there 10 minutes before they started, got awesome seats, and had fun watching the fireworks. On the 4th of July, we got to hang out with friends, eat yummy food and launch fireworks in their neighborhood with all the kids. It was such a great weekend!!
My baby bump is growing bigger by the week! His kicks are getting stronger and he loves to move around in there. We might have a soccer player on our hands! Its been warm but not too hot, thankfully, so I have had the chance to spend some relaxing days in the pool. Summer is great!

Patrick's First Father's Day
We got to celebrate Patrick's first Father's Day (although next year will be the official one!). He has been working on his garden and it is growing like crazy. So for his special day we worked in the garden putting up fencing for his tomatoes.
He is growing tomatoes, corn, carrots, lettuce, onions, peppers, basil thyme, squash and melons. We have been eating the lettuce and using the basil so far. Patrick got to cut his first squash yesterday. So we are hoping for lots of yummy treats throughout the summer!
We are now 25 weeks prego! We are moving right along. It has been wonderful weather - not too hot, so I am very thankful! Our little guy is growing each week. We both get to feel him kicking and moving around in there. He is quite active! So we'll see what he is like when he arrives! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going. We have 3 more months before we get to meet our little guy. We are so excited!!

Michelle's Shower
I helped to throw my friend Michelle a shower. She is expecting twin girls! It was a group effort and Kellie made the cakes - how cute are they! She was inspired by the invitations that Jennifer and I made - Jennifer is the brains behind the operation, I just helped! It was a fun time and Michelle got lots of cute girly things!
21 Weeks Prego!
We are officially half way there! I can't believe how fast it is going by. I have a little bump that keeps growing bigger each week. I can now feel him moving around and kicking all over the place. We got to do our baby registry at Babies R Us and Restoration Hardware Baby & Child. It is amazing how much stuff this little baby needs! It was pretty overwhelming to begin with, but I have great friends who helped us out to figure out what we really need.
We had an ultrasound and he is measuring perfect - right on schedule. Our due date is September 29th. I couldn't believe how much he moves around in there. While we were getting our ultrasound he was sucking his thumb, he did a few flips and would not stay still. It was amazing. He has grown so much. He now weighs 15 oz. We got to see his arms and legs and his strong heart. I still can't believe that there is this little one inside. God is amazing!
This is his profile shot while trying to suck his thumb!
This is his face.
And there is no doubt that we are having a boy!! =)

16 Weeks - Its a BOY!!
We are now 16 weeks pregnant and made an appointment at an ultrasound place to find out if we were having a boy or girl! We couldn't wait until our scheduled doctor visit at 20 weeks to find out!! The entire day I was so nervous and anxious. Patrick and I drove to the place and I could barely focus. We ended up having to wait about half an hour before they saw us. And I don't know if I have ever been that nervous in my entire life! But once we got to see our little guy moving around and see how much he had grown it was priceless. They were 100% positive that it is a boy. We couldn't be happier!!!

April Fools
Yesterday Patrick gets a phone call, and all I heard was "wow, really, are you sure, ok, well I'll tell her." So of course I asked who it was, Patrick said it was my doctor and she had some news for us. My heart started racing thinking of all sorts of things (I had just had my blood work done, did they find something, etc) and Patrick says "She looked at our sonogram again and saw that we are really having twins!"
Of course I freak out, saying "are you serious???" over and over again. By this time I am standing on the couch looking at Patrick. And Patrick has the best poker face ever. Then says "April Fools!"
He totally got me!!

Big News . . .
The big news is that we are expecting our first baby!! Currently we are 14 weeks preggo. Our due date is Sept. 29th. I had a lot of morning sickness during the first trimester but thank goodness that is now over. I am feeling good and have a little belly. We are so excited!! We should find out if we are having a boy or a girl in a few weeks. We can't wait!
The sonogram is from our nine week appointment. Our little one looks like a little bean, but is growing and has a strong heart beat.

Hooray for a new oven!!
Our oven was original to the house, so it had seen better days. Only one of the ovens worked and not all the time. So it was time for a new one. Patrick decided that he should paint the cabinets at the same time, since they were going to have to cut the cabinets to make room for the new one. After months of ordering and reordering ovens - a long story, we finally got our new oven and microwave installed!! Yeah!!
Check out the before and after pics - what a difference!
