Pictures, 2 yrs and 34 weeks!

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone’s week and weekend went well. We took our maternity pictures last Friday and I can’t wait to view them all! She said they should be ready in a week. It was so much fun, although getting up and down wasn’t that easy for me lol. She was super super nice and found the cutest place ever in Carmichael. It’s a little garden area that’s part of the Carmichael park but in a different area. SOOOOO pretty and secluded, I swear it looks like we are in a forest.
She has a preview of our pictures on her blog so check it out! Sandyrunnerblog.com

Saturday Jason took me to Walnut Creek to see “My fair Lady” at the Leshers center for the arts to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. They did such a great job. Jason really enjoyed it as well which is nice and makes it that much more enjoyable for me. He can actually stay awake in a play which is great! I was a little uncomfortable sitting for 3 hours but it was worth it. We went to the 2pm show that way we could enjoy our dinner without feeling rushed. This is b’s second musical, we saw Wicked in SF in February when she was just a weeeeee lil thing lol. My parents used to take us to musicals when we were young and it’s really stuck with me. I absolutely love them and I can’t wait to take her as well.

Bing Crosby’s restaurant was SO cute.

They had someone on the piano playing in bar which was nice. The food was really good, I had scampi pasta and of course Jason had the filet. We took our time and had dessert, I had the Grand Marnier Crème Brule and Jason had the chocolate molten cake.

Mine looks a little funny, it looked like little meatballs on top but really they were raspberries lol Super delicious.
I was too chicken to ask someone to take our picture so these were all I took.

We have been trying to locate our cake maker because we were going to have her remake our top layer for us since we didn’t keep ours after the wedding. Long story short, it was made with a liqueur and it started to break down a day after the wedding so we had to throw it out aaand we forgot to try to get it remade last year and wanted to this year. We contacted our wedding coordinator and are still waiting to hear back. Our actual Anniversary is tomorrow so even though it’s unlikely, maybe we can still get it done. Wishful thinking I know :)
After dinner we came home and relaxed in the spa for a couple hours which was perfect, even though Jason wouldn’t let it go over 98 degrees. Protecting b of course, she is our number one priority now.
After a couple hours we came back inside and watched our wedding video. I really have to say how much I enjoy having a wedding video. They did such an amazing job on it and since our photographer ended up being a dud and missed a lot, having this video 100% makes it okay. All the memories of the day are there and being able to actually see it as it happened, brought tears to my eyes. We almost didn’t get a wedding video because Jason didn’t think we would ever watch it but even now he admits that it was the best choice we made for the wedding. It’s amazing how much you forget over time. We are going to make it a tradition to watch it every anniversary.

This was the day I married my soul mate.

It’s crazy to think it was 5 years ago we met, two years ago that we got married and now we are starting our family. I truly feel lucky to have such a caring wonderful person to share my life with and be the father of my children. He is going to be an amazing dad.

Okay enough about us, lets get to the star of the show, the one everyone wants to know about.. b!

She is 34 weeks! Can you believe only 6 or so weeks left and she will finally be here!!


Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies

We are meeting with her pediatrician today at 2:30, which was also once Jason’s pediatrician!! He seems really nice and isn’t a drug pusher which I like.
Tomorrow is going to be a crazy busy day, We are going to the auction to get me a car YAY.. with me staying home now it doesn’t make sense for me not to have one anymore. When I worked in the office it was fine because Jason and I were always together but now I’m stranded at home it would nice to be able to leave when I need, which requires a car of course lol. Not sure what I’m going to get, its going to be a very long day being that I have to get up at 6 so we can be there by 7 to look around. Then we have Comcast coming to install our internet at the house around 2 or so but you know how that goes. We also are going to dinner somewhere here in Sac for our anniversary, or maybe I will just make dinner here.. hmm haven’t decided yet.. I guess it depends on how tired we are from the day.
Thursday we have Brinks coming to install the alarm, finally. I hate being here alone with no alarm, especially after the baby comes. Friday we have a Dr. Appointment to check on how b is doing. Depending on how busy I am after I might blog on how it all went. Saturday is my baby shower!! I’m really excited to hang out with everyone. We have been so busy lately I feel like it has been forever since I’ve seen or really spoken to anyone. If you haven’t heard from me in a while I promise I still love you and hopefully things will slow down for us a little to do things with friends. You understand right! :)

Well I need to get some stuff done around the house before the appointment so I’m going to go.
I will be back soon and have a great week!
