Happy 4th of July!

It is the official start of summer here in San Diego!  The 4th of July has been my favorite holiday as long as I can remember.  I always loved riding the train from DG to the Taste of Chicago on July 3rd, heading up to spend the weekend in Sheboygan at the O'Reilly's, and beach parties in Pacific Beach. 

This year is the 2nd Annual Wet Spot 4th of July Bash is the place to be.  I will chowing on sliders, homemade ice cream sandwiches, the best looking watermelon cake around, and chugging O'Douls...all while sporting my tankini and a skirt so I don't scare anyone:)  Hoping my patience will last until fireworks time!

Nursery Progress

Last week was suppose to be the "BIG" week to begin the baby's room.  FAIL! Well...the carpet cannot be cleaned for a reasonable price so we decided to shop around and get new carpet installed. Sounds a little crazy to install new carpet in our rented apartment but it STINKS down there. I got a headache just working on getting the old computer cleared out of there. No way is our little girl gonna sleep down there with out new carpet! We have our final estimate on Tuesday and hopefully the carpet can be installed by the following week.  Jeff keeps saying how much time we have, and we do...80 days till September 21st...but I just don't think he has a grasp on how many things I want done that require his help:)  So glad I am off work until September 1st (or January)!!

You know you're pregnant when...

1. You wear yoga pants and sneakers out in public...and you're not planning to exercise.
2. Sleeping is work.
3. A single hot dog fills you up, but then you're hungry again 2 hours later.
4. At-home pedicures are dangerous.
5. You get excited to drink an O'Douls.
6. Dance parties are off limits, except for in your stomach.
7. A purse is too heavy to carry and seat belts are too tight.
8. You enjoy visiting the doctor's office.
9. You use the handle, steering wheel, door, anything, to get in and out of the car.
10. AND...Old people, with canes, walk faster than you in amusement parks.

Here we are on the Journey Into Africa tram ride at the Wild Animal Park:


At Sea World looking at the fun-mirrors...I love this! Still trying to convince Betsy I should get to borrow the skinny mirror in her bedroom for the next 3 months. (Yes, I am wearing yoga pants in public!)


Hello 3rd trimester!!!! 27 weeks:)
