28 weeks



Cooking time: 28 weeks, 4 days
Weight gain: +10 pounds as of Sunday (28 week mark) +11 pounds as of today
Maternity clothes: oh yeah...dresses and skirts.  It was 92 today...yikes! Luckily even without a/c our house stays very cool if we keep all the blinds and windows shut...and living in the 'coastal' region, even though its 15 miles away we get an amazing breeze come 6pm and are able to open all the windows again.
Food cravings: Well, yesterday it was strawberry shortcake and today it was grilled veggies and hot dogs so I gave into both.  Trader Joes has these amazing biscuits topped with a tiny bit of sugar that I used as shortcake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream...yummy. We made grilled turkey dogs, grilled cheesy potatoes and grilled veggies tonight and it definitely hit the spot.   
Food dislikes: nothing
Missing: sleeping through the night (a trend that will never go away)...I seem to be getting up 3 times a night to pee now, up from the 2 times.  Just feeling 'normal'...we had a crazy busy weekend at work (3 day Memorial Day weekend) and I started to experience some ligament pain in my pelvis area.  I rested yesterday and today for the most part but I'm not sure how I'm going to get through these next couple of months at work...sitting breaks will be critical. 
What we've been up to:
-I passed my glucose test....yippee!  But found out I'm very anemic and need to take iron supplements.
-We put closet organization system together as well as some fun accessories in nursery
-Still waiting on back crib part (it was missing in box) and I'm not very happy with Graco right now because we've left several messages regarding when it will be shipped out.
-Rollie painted the trim in our bathroom (originally oak...now nice crisp white) it was the last of the trim to be painted in the whole house.
-We bought a baby pool for Rufus and our feet for the summer time in the backyard.  He loved it today! 
-We're heading down to LA on Saturday for my baby shower on Sunday...I can't wait to see friends and family.  Of course wishing my Michigan family would be there but I know I will see them all soon :)
-We saw 'What to expect when your expecting' last night (that's what the picture above is from) and then we walked around our downtown Farmer's Market.

In the thick of it

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
