D-Day has come and gone!

Well as expected, our due date has passed and no sign of the little one. But little Gummy is letting us continue to do everything on our check list before joining us. Good kid! :)

Here are a few fun pictures from the past week.

Baby's room


We also got lucky enough to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary up in Sonoma. Here are some pictures of our walk down memory lane.

Cornerstone Garden's (wedding location)


The Estate (rehearsal dinner)


Such a beautiful day up in Sonoma!

And finally, here is one last belly shot on our due date (September 5th). Yikes, it is big.


We have a DR appt on Wednesday and I am sure we will determine next steps from there. We will keep you all posted.

Happy Labor Day!

2 Weeks to Go!

So OBVIOUSLY I have been a little slow on the blog front. I am officially on maternity leave, so time to catch up and get ready for the arrival of Gummy.

So gee, a lot has happen over the past few months. 20th High School Reunion, 2 baby showers, Brad's birthday (with a fun night out to see Billy Idol). So far, Gummy has been a total trooper and let us enjoy our last few months of freedom. WOOHOO! I have included some recent photos of our adventures.

20th High School Reunion (July 30 - 31st)




San Jose Baby Shower (August 14th)




















SF Baby Shower (August 15th)


Billy Idol Concert (August 17th)



Gummy is doing well. Still anticipating a 6lbs maybe 7lbs Gummy. I am NOT complaining about that. Just finalizing the baby room. Will try and post pictures this week.

Looking forward to sharing new photos soon.

We did it!

Well I am proud to say Gummy and I finish the Avon Breast Cancer walk with flying colors. Managed to strain my leg just a bit, but hey, what do you expect when you walk 40 miles and you are carrying around an extra person.

Here are some fun pictures from the weekend. Top picture is around mile 15 on Day 1 and bottom picture is at the finish line after mile 40. 


It was a very cool event and so nice to have a good friend along to get through some of those difficult moments. Thank you all for your support.

Next big adventure, my 20th High School Reunion. 2 weeks. Let's see how much bigger I can get.

More to come!

8 months and counting

I am shocked we are days away from 32 weeks. I can't believe we will be meeting little gummy in just under 2 months. AMAZING. Lots to catch everyone up on, so let us begin.

Got another ultra sound at week 30. Here is the least creepy picture of the bunch. All looked good during the ultra sound, so all is good with the little one. Gummy is over 3 lbs, so they are thinking 7 - 8 lb baby. YIKES is about all I can say to that.


We spent the 4th of July at some friends house. As you can see, I for sure look prego. I will spare you all with the word one of my coworkers called me this week. Needless to say, I am going on a diet for the remainder of the pregnancy.


Also, this past week, Brad and I attended our labor classes. After hearing, watching and talking about labor for 6 hours, I am beyond overwhelmed and nervous. I asked Brad if we could back out now, the answer is NO. :( So needless to say, I will be having nightmares for the next 8 weeks. YIKES!

And to round out the week, this weekend is the big Avon Breast Cancer walk. I will be walking 39 miles this weekend in honor of 5 amazing ladies that have survived breast cancer. I will be walking with a dear friend who unfortunately lost her mother to this horrible disease some years back. I am excited and nervous for challenge that lies ahead. I honestly think running a marathon is going to be easier than walking 39 miles. I will report back with pictures in the coming week.

Well, I think that covers it. OH, we are official owners of an SUV! WOOHOO. The new family car should arrive in the coming weeks. I guess we are officially becoming a family. :) Mochi is very excited.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Happy Father's Day!

Sorry for the lack of updates for the past few weeks. Life has been a little busy and will continue to be insane for the next 18 years. :)

Lots of exciting stuff. Had the first Baby Shower with some college girlfriends. Thanks Leigh and Noel for such a wonderful event. My good friend from college, Erin, is about 1 month ahead of me. Here is a picture from our shower June 13th. Gummy got some good stuff!!


We took our first baby prep classes this week. Very cool and overwhelming all at once. Next classes will be child birth and then a tour of the hospital next week. Still a few months away, but the countdown is on. Doing more to the baby room, so hopefully more room pictures soon.

Here are a few belly shots, 27 weeks and 29 weeks. Gummy is very active and looking forward to the Avon Breast Cancer walk in few weeks.

Week 27


Week 29

Well, Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there. Brad is getting ready for his first Father's Day next year!

Gummy's Room Starting To Take Shape

Happy Memorial Day! We decided to start to make some progress on Gummy's room. As we are about 6 1/2 months (26 weeks), we felt it was time to start preparing.

Here is a snapshot of the crib in the room. Still have a lot of work to do, but it is a starting point.


Also as promised, here is a picture of Brad and I from a Memorial Day party. As you can see, I am for sure looking prego.

Enjoy!

6 months and counting

Well, we are officially 6 months along. I am amazed as to how fast time if flying by. Definitely feel little Gummy moving a lot these days. Still not big enough to see hands or feet move over the belly yet, but I assume in a another month we will be there.

Had our monthly DR appt yesterday. Nothing exciting to update anyone on. Just waiting for the results from the diabetes test. Should hear early this week if we are in the clear. Also learned we will most likely not have any additional ultrasounds. So looks like our next viewing of Gummy will be in September. EXCITING!

Here is the latest belly shot. I am trying to get more pictures of Brad and I actually prego to share. Hope to get some over Labor Day weekend. I am sure you will all find them more exciting then looking at my bare belly.



Have a great week.
