OFF TO L.A. WED.!

Hello everyone,
Wed. I head out to L.A. to meet my friend Lotta from Sweden. She is competing in the L.A. Marathon on Sunday and after that we will head down to Laguna Beach where she owns a timeshare. Laguna Beach is a quaint little town where we look forward to relaxing. I look forward to walking on the beach and spending time with my friend.

It has been fun for Ed and I to watch Emma move around like a little alien in my tummy and for Ed to feel her kicks and bumps on a regular basis now. I look forward to my next ultrasound and seeing the change in her from the previous one.
That's all for now...

A WONDERFUL BABY SHOWER...

Hello everyone,

We are back from FL and a busy week putting a new roof on the house and painting. It looks great!

Ed & I enjoyed a wonderful baby shower. We had tasty chili from my friend's restaurant and other luscious munchies, cake, beer & wine. We didn't have games and gave out raffle prizes instead. 41 people attended and it was a nice chance to visit with friends and family we hadn't seen in awhile. Ed and I are very grateful for the beautiful gifts Emma received. From adorable clothes to travel beds and gift cards, our friends and family showed us how much they care. When I arrived I didn't look pregnant but by the time of the shower I had popped out a little belly. I am now into my maternity jeans almost full time. Thanks again to everyone for their love and support.
