We are on the home stretch! WooHoo! My back is officially killing me. I have a pinched nerve fron the position he has dropped to. I am hoping he moves a bit more VERY SOON! With all the relaxin hormone kicking into my body the chiropractor visits only help for about 30 minutes before it slips out of place again. There is not much to do until I deliver him.

We had 2 non stress tests done. The first one we passed with flying colors. He is looking great. The second one he did pretty well but want to see me again in a few more days. He is still fine but want to watch him a bit more close. It seems par for the course to have another little hiccup!

For fun, I went to a friends baby shower! Always fun to catch up with girlfriends and who doesn't love babies and all things to do with them. All smiles from everyone and positivity! Later in the evening we attended another one of my girlfriends 40th birthday! It was wonderful.... after my nap. I am getting older! It is not as easy as it once was to get all dolled up and head into the city to the famous Bubble Lounge for some Champagne and dancing. I skipped both parts. I did however have a few lovely glasses of water and enjoyed a wonderful night. (I was in bed at 11:45) We are just not the social lights we used to be.

Unfortunate events: I got rear ended in between parties! I was not hurt and there is only a little paint damage to my car. Nothing else. I would have loved to have captured the look of the guy who did it when I got out of the car and he saw A BIG BELLY ready to burst.  We were all stopped on a busy street lined up in file waiting for someone ahead to finish parrallel parking. I felt a bump and knew what had happened. :(  The man said that his daughter (about 3 yrs old) had unclipped her car seat and he turned around to refasten it and accidently let off the brake. OOOOPS! Oh well, no one was hurt.

I am done with work! Whew! It has been a bit exhausting. The last few days I just crashed when I got home. I did well throughout the day but once I got to break to sit down it all hit me! I don't believe I bothered on getting up the rest of the night! I wish I got a chance to sleep in but with early doctors appointments and being on an early schedule that will have to wait a bit longer. The visit to the Perinatologist was a follow up to the last ultrasound where Lucas went from the 50th perce...

This weeks task was interviewing Pediatricians. We got a referral from a friend who knew someone great. She was right! I can't even believe he is so amazing. We spent a good hour in his office learning about his philosophy and interviewing him. My favorite part was that he said we would never be rushed and we would have his complete attention anytime we had an appointment. He has offices in both Orinda and Berkeley and has been in practice for 35 years. He is an absolute Godsend! There ia a 2...

This was a GREAT week! I had a wonderful time with my best girlfriend April and her son Nevan arriving into town and staying at my house followed by the third and final baby shower. It was so best but the best time ever!

April and Nevan arrived and kept the house alive! It was fun to have such a sweet little boy hanging around the house and good for Dan to see just how much his life is about to change. He learned quickly that you can't walk away from your coffee for a SECOND without it getting...

Another week and another GREAT Baby Shower!

My Mother-in-Law (Sandi), and Sisters-in-Laws ( Kim and Ines) hosted a shower for me. Again, it was at my house and they did an amazing job. Attendees were, family and church friends. This shower was super emotional for me.
 
Kim had everyone write down a blessing for me when they got there and pick a special bead out of a tray for me. Before I would open the persons gift, they would read the blessing to me and add there bead to a string. I cried..... ...

It has been a wonderful and busy week. I have been getting ready for my mom to come to town. She hosted a wonderful baby shower full of old friends and co-workers. It was held at my house and she made it stunning. There was a bit of an owl theme going on and we got a bit carried away.

Owl cookies, cupcake, decorations, soaps.... too cute.

We collapsed after! As much fun as it was it was nice to relax and put our feet up after.

Thanks again mom! I love you! Thank you to everyone who could attend ...

Work:
Reviewing resumes and interviews.
Unfortunately, no luck finding the right person & time is TICKING!!!!!

Fortunately, Lucas is doing great. We had a great Friday night date in San Francisco with a wonderful dinner and great tickets to see Cirque de Soliel's Ovo. It was amazing (just like every show they have done)!  We had forth row center seats.....and the entire show narrated by a five year old boy sitting behind me. He was adorable and had an in...

I survived my first day back at work. It was an interesting first day then the remainder of the week went smooth. Upon my arrival I was quickly put back to work. We hired a replacement for me 6 months ago when I went out on bedrest and she has been doing great. She has the skills to perform the work and I needed to train her for all the details of things falling through the cracks. After ONE HOUR of training SHE QUIT! She just walked out.  Oh no! It  was all on me to carry the load again.  We...

It is a new year!

Lucas is moving, doing summersaults and kicking me like no ones business! He is strong!
That is what I like, a strong healthy baby!

Lots of news to share....

1) I had a bit of a cranky week. I got the days mixed up again for my appointments at the OB/GYN. Fortunately for me I caught it late the night before. Unfortunately, it was for a fasting glucose test. Oh well. The test was as expected, long and I was HUNGRY! 12 hour fasting before the appointment, blood draw and drink a n...

We got through the holidays without a hitch. I have been really compliant with the diet. Training my body to deal with the meat has been the most difficult. My stomach is finally coming to terms with it.... SLOWLY.  We had a wonderful time with all of our family get togethers.

Today we had another very detailed ultrasound at the perinatologist and Lucas is right on track! He is exactly in the 50th percentile. This is a good sign with the possible gestational diabetes. We took Dan's mom al...
