Dada

This morning Little Guy and I were having breakfast in the family room and due to the nature of the kitchen remodel, we were eating our dry Life cereal out of the box.  Little Guy was playing with the box when his face lit up and he screeched, "Dada".  I looked where he was pointing, and sure enough, he was pointing right at the Quaker pictured below the Quaker Oats logo.  It must have been the hat that drew the similarity, I don't think it was the long hair peaking out of the hat.

Kitchen Update

My dad came and spent the day getting the kitchen ready for sheetrock and texture.  He replaced one of our sliders and I am already seeing how great everythign will look with the new white windows!!

Ikea and Swimming With Lizzy

We hit up Ikea with Lizzy and her mama this morning.  It all started off great, until Little Guy decided he was OVER being in the cart and that prompted Lizzy to want to get out too.  Pretty soon we were chasing crazy toddlers all over the place before escaping to a yummy lunch and a LONG nap when we got home.  We were extra lucky in that we got to have Lizzy and her family over after naps for swimming and dinner.  Dinner was a bit of a bust, the hamburgers were just a little OLD, but it was fun to splash around and catch a glimpse of many summer swim dates to come!

Swimming Time

Today was our last swim lesson.  We decided to take a break from the classes and the drive to Davis.  I am sad to say we won't see our swim friends every week, but I can't say I'll miss the morning chaos and the chlorine stench I carried around every Friday.  I am excited to swim with Little Guy in our backyard and watch him get more and more confident with his jumping in!  After our last swim lesson, we headed to Pleasant Hill for a play date with Gigi.  Daddy had a golf tournament that he took 3rd in, YAY Daddy, so we decided to get out of town for a bit.  We had lunch in Walnut Creek and Little Guy did an awesome job eating and feeding himself the Mac and Cheese- so much for a clean shirt!  We got in a good nap, eyebrow waxing, and even got started on the take home monogrammed shirts and onesies.  Rounding out our day with a visit from Auntie and Peyton, we headed home to see Daddy and give him a big high five!

Paint class

Tonight I took a paint class with my bestie Heather.  No, not a picture painting class like my husband thought, a furniture painting class using Annie Sloan chalk paint.  Not only did I learn so much about painting, I had a great time spending the evening with Heather and meeting the other great women in the class.  I can't wait to get started painting EVERYTHING!  I know I'll have to wait until some of the dust settles from the kitchen remodel, but in the meantime, I am plotting and planning all the painting I will do- bar stools, end tables, baby crib, laundry cabinets...the possibilities are endless!!!

29 weeks

Today we had our 29 week appointment with my ob.  The baby is doing great, apparently wanting to make up for limited weight gain in the first 25 weeks of pregnancy, but I am still measuring right on target and the heart beat sounded nice and strong.  I am definitely feeling more and more pregnant as the weeks go on- I seem to be a lot less mobile or active with this pregnancy, which is tricky with Little Guy, but it's good to have him and all his energy to keep me moving and staying as fit as possible!  We have our next appointment at the end of May at 33 weeks, then 36 weeks, 38 weeks, 39 weeks, and then 40!  I can't believe we're almost to the end of this journey and soon we'll be meeting our sweet baby boy or girl, I am not sure I can wait 10 more weeks!

31

Today I turned 31....YIKES!  I was super lucky to share my day with my two leading men- Daddy took the whole day off and came with us to the doctors, music, and the chiropractor before we had a yummy lunch and a nice long nap.  I woke up from the nap to find my family in town and a beautiful new fountain in the works!  We then headed to farmer's market and met up with Erin, Lizzy, Faith, Heather, Emme, and Jackson.  It was a beautiful night and the most perfect way to ring in 31.  We missed Papa since he was whoopin' it up in Vegas, but there's always 32!
