30 weeks- wow, time is sure flying! this is my 7th month and the baby is now being compared to a squash...that watermelon comparison is not too far away :0) we are beginning the last leg of this pregnancy journey where the OB visits get more frequent, the last big travel plans get squeezed in, and i get more uncomfortable!
we just got back from a whirlwind trip to california and boy was it busy. we flew into oakland and stayed the night in pleasant hill. the next day we commandeered my mom's new car (thanks mom) and drove down to bakersfield to visit family. what a good time to hang out! we all got together for some delicious pizza, spaghetti, and joking around. i think one of my favorite parts was listening to the kids sing songs. but it made me realize that i need to brush up on my 'old macdonald' and 'itsy bitsy spider!'
it was a long day and we were able to sleep soundly at the padre hotel courtesy of the garrett parents (thanks for treating us to such a nice and comfy hotel). the next day we had lunch with more family, stopped by to see uncle eddie and then headed out to atascadero for one of the best weddings we have ever been to! really, it was such a great wedding. friends and family of the now mr. and mrs. chris stringham joined to celebrate the beautiful couple that they are. and it was a great time to see old friends from cal poly.
we ended up leaving around 9pm because we had to make the drive back to pleasant hill that night! BUT, we were so close to san luis obispo and pismo beach that we couldnt resist making the detour south. i have to say that even though we were both extremely exhausted and didn't get to sleep until 3am...grabbing a latte and some zuchinni bread at uptown espresso (now black horse) and smelling the fresh, cold beach air while walking down the pismo pier was worth it!
the next morning we geared up for a baby shower that my family put on- and they did such a great job considering i gave them such little time to prepare! the house was decorated with cute blue streamers and the aroma of mom's famous ham filled the air. we had a great turn out which made us feel so loved... and spoiled! this little baby is all ready to be dressed in cute newborn onsies and wrapped in ultra soft blankets. thank you to all of you who gave so generously. but above all thank you for coming to the party! it was good to see the extended family and play fun baby games. aaron placed first in the 'guess which melted chocolate is in the diaper game' :o) and aaron and i went head to head in pictionary...aaron's team won that too!
again, it was such a whirlwind trip but worth every minute.
