The pizza was covered in all kinds of meat, veggies and spices. It would definitely not be something we would have ordered otherwise. Pain with a purpose, I guess :)

Preggo Pizza ?
There is a pizza place across the bay that is known for their Preggo Pizza inducing labor. We figured why not give it a shot! Unfortunately, it didn't work for us... baby must not have been ready to make his/her appearance!

Happy Birthday to Jeff & 39 Weeks... (1 week until 'due date')
For Jeff's birthday on Monday, we went out to a nice dinner and for a walk to celebrate Jeff's birthday. The munchkin has decided to arrive closer to his/her due date and will end up being a belated birthday gift for Jeff.
We also had our 39 week doctor appointment Monday and the doc said it could really be any day now. Unfortunately, this past Tuesday was the last on call day for our doctor until the end of the first week of June, so unfortunately, we won't know who will deliver the baby but that's pretty typical around here.
Last night I went to what will probably be my last pre-natal yoga class for this baby. It was pretty unreal! The instructor has been awesome and its been a joy to make her class part of my weekly routine. Her parting words for me were "breathe, just remember to breathe."
Finally, today is my last day of work in the office. Its hard to believe that when I leave today, I won't be back in the office working for about 4 months. The certainty of work has been comforting for me and its been a little hard to detach. I feel READY, so here it goes!

Munchkin's Nursery is Complete!
The nursery is finally done! Its been so much fun making our vision a reality. We absolutely love the yellow walls and the giraffes, of course!

Maternity Photo Shoot
Rhee Bevere has done it again. Rhee graciously offered to take some maternity photos of us a few weeks ago. These are a few of our favorites. Thank you, Rhee, for working your magic (as always)! We had so much fun!

March Madness!
It seems we are getting traveling out of our system for awhile as we have been gone almost every weekend this month. Things will calm down (traveling-wise) in April with plenty of time to allow us to 'prepare' for munchkins arrival.
I was in L.A. the first weekend of March to celebrate Liliana Grace's first birthday and dedication. It was so wonderful to see so much of Liliana's family and friends in one place to celebrate such an important milestone for her and her family. Its always great to see one of my dearest friends, Christina, and her husband and family. And Liliana sure enjoyed her first taste of cake!
The following weekend we headed to Atlanta for a short, long-weekend visiting our Atlanta friends. We stayed with our close friends Miriam & Seth and their pup Ruby for the weekend. On Sunday, Miriam & Seth and Katie & Shaun hosted a get together so we could see many of our Atlanta friends and celebrate munchkin. It was so wonderful to see everyone, especially since it might be a little while before we make it back to Atlanta. We are so grateful to them for hosting!
During the only weekend we have been in town this month we were super busy with our garage demo project. Every year the city of Santa Clara allows residents to dump any non-toxic garbage on the street for pick up. We took this as an opportunity to tear out the ugly, old shelving in the garage (the house's kitchen countertops from back in the day - we think) and put in garage storage units to get us organized. Jeff and Chris worked hard all weekend, and I, of course, stayed out of it. My contribution was organizing everything into large storage bins for the shelves and even that wore me out! I'd say we are about 85% done but will definitely finish up before munchkin arrives.
And there's more...this past weekend we were showered by family in friends in L.A. More to follow in a separate post.

Liliana just can't get enough

Yup, there is definitely a munchkin in there!
We have been super busy (and productive) the last few weeks. Here's what we have been up to:
- Putting together the crib and nursery furniture
- Painting the baby's room YELLOW :)
- Finally getting our crib bedding
- Signing up for birth classes
- Meeting with our doula
- A few other house projects
- And all the other normal life stuff, of course - work, friends, family, dogs, etc., etc.
Here are my 27 week stats:
Best moment this week: Finally getting our crib bedding!
What I miss: Wine :)
Movement: Lots of it! This munchkin is one active kiddo! Not only can you feel it but boy (no, we do not know what we are having) you can see this baby move. Thankfully, munchkin settles down at night and lets me sleep.
Food cravings: Still no food cravings (or aversions, for that matter)
Sleep: Still sleeping well - thank goodness. Hoping this will continue.
Maternity clothes: I have outgrown some of my early maternity wear but have enough to get me by. I much rather save to buy clothes for when the munchkin arrives.
