Anniversary Song

-
Work has been busy for me this week so I haven't had the chance to post at all. After 3 very long days in a row, I was ready for some serious relaxation this weekend. Last night complied but when our humidifier expelled water all over our bedroom rug this morning, relaxation was temporarily out the window. Luckily, I was able to put that amazingly powerful blow-dryer that my cousin Jessie gave me to good use in cleaning up the mess. After that was done with, I headed to an afternoon show of 500 Days of Summer (I give it an "eh"). I had waves of severe back and stomach pain throughout the movie and thought I might be starting to have contractions, but apparently the theater seats were just really uncomfortable.

In other baby news, we had our 36 week appointment on Wednesday and everything looks good. I was 1.5 centimeters dilated so we're getting there, slowly but surely.

Wednesday was also my and Matt's 3rd wedding anniversary. We had a really amazing dinner (especially the "childhood favorites" dessert) at One Sixty Blue.




In some ways, the wedding seems like it was just yesterday and in others, it seems like ages ago. Either way, our lives keep getting better and better since we took the plunge on August 5th, 2006. Here are some photos that I think best encapsulate our wedding week (think beach, friends and family, and booze).




We're going to a Cubs minor league baseball game at Wrigley tomorrow with Mark, Janet and the kids so I'm sure I'll have good (and sweaty- it's supposed to be in the 90s) photos to post afterward.

    Three years already, wow! We are nearly at seven! Yikes! :) Your wedding was so beautiful! Hope the last few weeks of the baby waiting game go smoothly. :) Will you go for the epidural? I highly recommend it!

Holy smokes, I haven’t blogged since our November vacay to French Polynesia!!!!  I knew it had been a while but didn’t realize how far off the blagon I was! So much has happened in the past 2 months for us all & it feels a bit silly to blog about anything but at the same time, we all probably benefit from a little distraction, right? There have been a ton of tips out there about working from home.  Having given my share  already , I didn’t really read anything that I wasn’t already generally aware of and for the first month of quarantine it was pretty much business as usual for me. All that changed until almost 3 weeks ago when Matt reentered the corporate world.  His desk in the cave wasn’t going to work anymore.  With COVID-19, the kids are all home all day except for a brief walk or two and they need that space to play.  Plus, even if we could get them to stay out of the cave, he would still hear them ...

Good gods, it's been so long I almost don't know where to start!  Despite 2020 being 2020, we still had a really nice end to the year.  That period from Halloween to Christmas is always my favorite and still felt special even though we didn't get to do some of our traditions like the annual Christmas tree lighting on the Pier. In some ways I'm actually finding 2021 to be rougher than 2020.  We've turned the page on the year but in LA we haven't really turned the page on the pandemic yet.  As of a few days ago we were still hovering above the 15% ICU bed availability so it's hard to feel a sense of progress, even as so many other places seem to be on a path to normalcy.  We're also in the midst of our umpteenth COVID scare of the past year with our umpteenth suite of negative test results to match.  I don't understand how it's possible for our family to get so many colds when we barely leave the house. Despite all that, we've been keeping busy...

Gettin' Back in Shape

After losing most of my Jason-weight pretty quickly, I've stalled hard the past few months.  I don't have any excuses but I have a ton of reasons: I really enjoy having wine with dinner most nights. I really enjoy having something sweet after dinner most nights. I really don't enjoy running or any sort of cardio-aerobic activity. I really hate counting calories or keeping a food journal. I seem to always have morning calls, which cause me to miss the exercise class that I like the best.  Every time I got into a rhythm, I would get interrupted with another project that requires morning calls. I can lose weight pretty easily when I actually get my butt in gear so I never feel a sense of urgency about it. I was still nursing and hungry all the time. I could go on & on b ut after weaning Jason about a month ago, I lost that last one.  Since then, I started working out with a trainer every Tuesday afternoon & going to her group class every Friday morning. I...
