38 weeks

Cooking time: 38 weeks

Weight gain: 28 lbs

Food aversions/cravings: Nothing new...nothing actually sounds great until I actually eat.  I'm beyond uncomfortable so definitely small quantities.   

Sleep: Horrible!  I've been out on the couch the last few nights until 2ish in the morning.  When I used to see commercials for Restless Leg Syndrome I used to laugh a bit but now I realize its a real thing and it sucks!  Sadly I will probably sleep better once the baby is here.

Movement: Still a big mover.  Waiting for her to drop so I can breathe a bit easier.

Overall feelings/symptoms: Lots of braxton hicks, pelvic pressure, and getting tired very easily.   Getting up and down is really hard...pretty much just really uncomfortable. 

What we've been up to: Lily's birthday was last week and pretty much celebrated Thursday-Saturday.  Thursday night we picked up my Aunt in Oakland and went to The Homeroom with our friend Megan.  They have about a dozen different kinds of macaroni and cheese...amazing!  They were so sweet to Lily too with a singing birthday treat.  Friday morning Sara, Lily and I headed to Guernville for a little walk through Armstrong Woods Redwood Forest before meeting Kristen and Kerry at Big Bottom Market for more birthday treats.  Aunties K&K spoiled Lily rotten with a motorized Minnie Mouse car. She absolutely loves it.  Friday afternoon we prepped for Lily's party.  Saturday morning we had her donut party and that evening we all went out to dinner at Russian River Brew Co.  This week has been somewhat low key, just running errands, enjoying play dates, and soaking up my time with Lily.

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
