salt and pipper

and a few of my sweet boy and energetic toddler. thanks again jess.

I am now 38 weeks pregnant as of yesterday. this is when i had finn…thanks to gestational diabetes. so far it does not look like the same will happen this time. this past friday josh and i had a date night, and we went to see a movie, i had contractions through the entire movie and thought for sure i would not last the night let alone the weekend, and now the week. but they went away save for a few random ones here and there. and so we continue to wait excitedly to meet our new babe. they have scheduled an induction for my due date (7th May) so unless baby comes before then on its own then that is when we will meet him/her. because i have gestational diabetes and am on medication for it they will not let me go past my due date.

since i did not have the baby this past weekend we were able to take some quick informal photos in our back yard, the three of us and baby bump, thanks to my friend Jess. thought i would share a few favorites. thanks Jess. 

love.

last two of us from knights ferry this weekend. and last post for now. need to sleeeep.

photo of my sick boy from friday. he fell asleep in my arms. thankfully (and weirdly) he was only sick for a few hours. 

photo of mr moose sitting on some rocks at knights ferry. he was delighted that we took him on our family walk, and he even got to be off leash for a bit and climb some rocks.

a few weekends ago it was the almond blossom festival. the almond trees were in blossom, and most still are. but the weekend was freezing because of the wind. but we decided to check it out and visit our friends Jared and Kori, who had a photo booth there. just before we took our photos finn took a tumble off this very trike and got a fat lip, so we thought it only right to use the same trike in the picture.

thanks for the beautiful photos Kori and Jared.

the second day we spent at the santa barbara zoo. it was the perfect zoo for finn at this age. it was small yet had some awesome animals like lions, giraffes, elephants and gorilla’s. finn loved leading us around the zoo.

we took a long weekend trip away to santa barbara. a kind of babymoon only with our first baby. it was our first little vacation as a family. we had such an amazing time. loved santa barbara.

this was our first day spent on the beach and eating ice creams. finn’s first ice cream, he didn’t finish, so i had to help him out. a last hoorah before gestational diabetes caught up with me ;)
