We had a very nice mother's day yesterday, even though I haven't quite made motherhood yet. But I'm close, as the pictures will reveal...any day now! I actually thought last Friday was it...I had some signs, I won't gross you out with the details, but the signs stopped and it's been business as usual since then. Oh well, should be soon, I know! Anyway, the whole family came up for mother's day yesterday, my parents, and Allison, Roland & Mia. It was fun! Since we just got our new patio in, we had brunch on our new patio furniture. The only issue was that it was blazing hot, I think it got to the mid 90's here yesterday. Ugh! Sometimes I couldn't tell if it was just me or if it really was that hot, but I think it really was that hot. We all survived. We filled up Ollie's little pool with clean water and Mia splashed around a bit. It was fun! Plus Allison brought her dog Tucker so Ollie had a wonderful time. Ollie was also super good with Mia, Cory & I were both worried he would be his normal freaked-out self, especially now that she's walking and having her in our house on "his" turf. But I think having Tucker there mellowed him out a bunch, and he was fine. It also helps that she kind of goes about her own thing and doesn't yell "doggie!" and run toward him, that freaks him out. When strangers ignore him he's fine. Anyway, I'm planning on taking him to my mom's house tomorrow...he's going to have an extended rancho vacation till the baby comes, I just think it will give me peace of mind to know he's having fun rather then worrying about him being at the house all alone for two days while we have the baby at the hospital. Plus, it'll be nice to come home and not have to worry about him for the first few days either...a friend recommended we give ourselves some adjustment time, and I think that's a good idea. I just hope I'm not terribly late, because I don't want him gone for like two weeks! Oh well...click on for a few pics...
I finally got a few good belly shots with me and Cory in our backyard. The first has a little stinker messing up the pic between us! :)
And here's one with our current fur baby:
As you can see, I'm about ready to pop! Everyone kept saying how huge I was. I guess I don't really realize it all that much, but I am pretty huge. We went to go see a movie after everyone left yesterday, and a group of teenage girls outside the theater said "You're so cute!!" to me as i walked in. I guess that's better than "You're so fat!" It was funny! It still hasn't been all that bad, although I could do without the weather in the 90's while being this pregnant. The air conditioning at the movies really helped. Anyway, enough babble, I'll write again soon!
