30 Weeks!

Meet Sofia or at least the 3D image of her! I went in for my 30-week appointment this morning. After begging for an ultrasound last time, Dan and I were able to see this very realistic image of her today. She has her right hand and arm in front of her face and at one point during the ultrasound we saw her wiggling each finger on her right hand. The technology is amazing. The doctor said Sofia has a very long femur, which suggests one of the following:
1. She will be tall
2. My due date is off
3. The doctor’s calculations are wrong

Of course, I prefer to think that she will be tall.

Baby Shower

We had a wonderful weekend in Colorado for the baby shower. Claudene went above and beyond! Here is the petal cake she made and the cute basket of silverware and "napkins" (which doubled as a wonderful take home). The finger sandwiches and desserts were delicious. Most of all, the company was delightful.

Are these not the cutest?!

The Inflatable Woman

Is it just me or does it look like the part of my body (formerly known as my stomach) shown in this picture was inflated by an air pump? Seriously, I keep telling myself that I look MUCH bigger from my perspective than from yours.

Reflections

Dan is in Baja.
I slept in late.
I walked Molly to the Farmer’s Market where I found the most delicious white peaches. I then read the NY Times, caught some sun and took a nap. Yay!

Reflections

I’m no Mona K. but a few more people and a little less clothing and this could be the beginning of one of her Italian summers.

Malibu

I was visiting one of our client's homes (the former Johnny Carson Estate) and saw this small figure paddling toward the cliffs.

Done!

Being the crafty sort, I LOVE the idea of making my own things. Most of you know that jewelry is just one hobby and that I’m always up for a good challenge. This is particularly true when it comes to art, photography, cards, stationary, packaging for gifts, etc. Naturally I didn’t want to buy my baby shower cards - because why buy them when you can make them! Dan’s sister is throwing me a shower in Colorado, so I decided to make all 14 cards for this event. Behold the fruits of my efforts above.

Our Furry Baby

I'm not sure what Molly will do when the baby comes. Right now she is numero uno and I'm certain she has no plans to give up that position to the 7lb nemesis arriving in Novemebr. Molly follows Dan EVERYWHERE. The second he gets up, she gets up. When he goes downstairs, she goes downstairs. When he goes out to get the paper in the morning, she sits by the door, anticipating his return. This picture adequately describes her favorite place in the world.
