6 months and counting




Well it has been a crazy month! I got the chance to go to Japan, Guam and Tiapei all in a weeks time. The trip was great, but then got bronchitis. Now that I am FINALLY over that I am feeling much better and I am sure our little nugget is glad the random "earthquakes" are over with. I also had the chance to bring Erik to New Jersey to meet grandma and courtney. It was a great trip and we are so glad we got to ask Courtney to be the Godmother in person, she is very happy to take on that role. We did a lot of sight seeing, but like any trip to NYC you never see it all, so we will go back again and go to some other places we missed out on.


Erik and I have moved! we were able to find a nice two bedroom duplex in Rincon Valley. We were already out growing our little one bedroom, but with the baby coming we had to make a move and fast. It's a great place, with good size rooms and a large yard, which will be great for the warmer months. But getting everything set up has been a slow going process, mainly because I am limited as to what I can do. I am so use to lifting heavy boxes and getting up on the couch to hang photos, but now it doesn't seem like such a good idea. So I am sure Erik is enjoying having me point at where we should put things, er where HE should put things! haha!


I am finally off work for Delta! wahoo! well honestly I wasn't working that much since I transferred to SFO, but in all honesty I wasn't enjoying the job anymore and I think it was a good thing to get out of there when I did. Besides working for the WORST airline isn't much to be proud of, so hopefully they will get things figured out soon so when I do come back I can be proud to say I work for them. I'm not holding my breath though.


The baby shower is this weekend! I am so very excited to see all my family and friends. I think I took on too much with making desserts, but I love baking so I am sure I will manage :) We were really hoping that the weather would be good enough for an out door party but living in Northern CA you learn to not count on the weather anytime of the year. So we were lucky enough to find a place to host the party, at least it's one last thing we need to stress/ worry about right now.


I can't see my feet! last week I noticed that my toes were no longer in my view when I stood up. And now my belly button is starting to make an appearance. I know this is all amazing, and I am truely enjoying it, but not having control of what on your body is growing, popping out, swelling up etc. is a little yucky. But it's nice to not have to suck in my stomach all the time, in fact it's impossible. Growing up dancing you get in the habit of sucking it in and now there is no sucking in going on :) I have had some weird cravings, weird for me but probably not that strange. two weeks ago I couldn't get enough grape juice! ugh I can't stand grape juice but I had to have it! so Erik got me some, and it lasted long enough for the craving to go away. I don't crave bean and cheese burritos as much as I use to, but I'm not gonna pass up the opportunity to have one if the moment presents its self. We have become regulars at Mary's Pizza Shack, and it's not for the pizza. I'm pretty sure they have the BEST house salad around. I could go there for lunch every day if we could afford it, in fact when we got done at the gym today we went and got some salads for dinner, and once again I was not let down.


Erik has been great! but then again I am an angel like always. We are back at the gym on a regular basis, which is great since my days have been full of endless errands, and his full of hard work. He rubs my feet and back with out me even asking. I finally got him to talk to the baby, though he does feel weird talking to my stomach ;) The other night we watched my belly for about 15 min. there happened to be a kickboxing class going on inside there and my belly was moving around like crazy. I actually could sit and watch forever, I am afraid I am going to miss a good kick or punch if I look away.
sorry for the long delay, but like the title... Life Happens
