Half way there...20 weeks!

Cooking time: 20 weeks, 4 days
Weight gain: +3 pounds... surprisingly not more after the massive dinner we had with our friends Paul and Stacey from LA last Friday night...crab stuffed hash browns, 4 cheese oodles of noodles (love the name), sauteed mushrooms, mashed potatoes and a petite filet with 3 jumbo shrimp...I was so uncomfortable afterwards but it was totally worth it, although I have no idea how anything will fit in my belly a couple months from now.
Maternity clothes: full on maternity pants and leggings...got a really cute maxi skirt (non maternity) at Target yesterday that will be perfect all spring/summer
Food cravings: Red meat, fruit, and sweets
Food dislikes: frozen peas, we usually have them at least once a week but they are not doing it for me right now.
Missing: sleeping through the night and energy.  It was a really long week at work but I just had 2 very relaxing days off...and I work Friday and Saturday and then actually have Easter off with Rollie so looking forward to that!

What we've been up to: 
*I've been pintresting away, trying to narrow down nursery colors.  I think once I have the crib bedding picked out I will feel a bit better.  I'm really considering making them because I just can't find a set that I like anywhere right now for a reasonable price.
*We had dinner with friends that were staying at their timeshare in Windsor (just 5 minutes north of us) on Friday night...they gave us the cutest pink roses in a little bud vase as a 'congrats your having a girl' present!
*Rollie changed his schedule to Sunday/Thursday off until baby girl arrive, so I'm really looking forward to having a regular day off together for the next few months.
*We've also been narrowing down some Maui details...just 5 weeks away now!
*Found a hot pink ottoman for baby girls room for just $25 (target), some great geometric patterned crib sheets for $7(target) and I ordered some fabric from fabric.com to make the crib skirt, pillows, changing pad cover and possible a blanket with the help of my MIL...oh and I bought a body pillow, hoping that makes sleeping more comfortable :)

Opted for something I little different than the standing side poise this week

On a random side note...love my peep toe flats that I got for $12 at Ross down in OC

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginations are just the

May (or better known as my Birthday Month)

I took the girls to the Museum again-it was a hot one! That afternoon we enjoyed some Popsicles on the deck. One night after work we made a Home Depot run and then decided it was too hot to cook so we took the girls to Pieology. We brought bagels to the teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. We celebrated May The 4th with our Star wars gear. I had a work dinner one evening and we spoiled my Manager with baby stuff for his soon to be baby girl. Lily, Ariya & Ensley had their first official sleepover at Ensleys house. We had framily over for a late cinco de mayo dinner. My mom sent the girls super cute matching dresses. Rollie set up a day date for us in Napa.  We went to Freemark Abbey, Goose & Gander for lunch and then Cardinale.  It was such a lovely day just the two of us.  Janet was in town so she hung out with Piper and Lily went to Kerry and Kristen's and enjoyed the pool and a nap on the Farm.

I have lots to blog about, Chicago, Michigan, our recent weekend in San Fran...but this comes first.  Last week I was doing my usual 'before bedtime Facebook scan', and I came across a post from a High School friend.  Maggie had posted an article about Natalie Taylors new memoir, 'Signs of Life'.  I knew it was going to be released  this Winter/Spring but it had slipped my mind.  I immediately went onto Amazon and ordered it.  I got the book Thursday and I'll be done tonight (I have 2 more chapters to go).  I'm not a fast reader.  Rollie can back me up on this one.  I got about 6 books for Christmas and I've only finished one so far, and I'm in the middle of two others.  Rollie would have had all of them finished and probably would have bought a few more by now. But back to the point.  A little background on Natalie...Natalie was married to Josh Taylor, one of my closest friends brother and someone that I grew up with.  Josh passed away instantly from a
