Well again it has been a while and so much is going on. The last few weeks have been great! We are in the last month and are growing more and more excited daily! On top of that I am growing more and more daily. We have been doing some good stuff around the house trying to get ready for our little one. So Ron and Jason painted the baby's room. Now I have pictures of what it looked like when we pulled the tape off of the wall.

As you can see we were left with this great boarder or stripe between the the land and the sky and we decided that we love it and left as is. Next is to add some decals and some clouds to spruce it up a little bit.
However, before I can do that I have the pleasure of taking a little bit of time off. Mom and Dad came up to the park for a visit and to kick it off my amazing girlfriends in Yosemite have planned a wonderful baby shower for me. I had a wonderful day and it was a great afternoon. Pictures to come soon. Thank you to Carlee, Summer and Erin!
I then took the opportunity to get a ride from Mom and Dad to Upland. We even took the boys on the ride with us. Ron got to meet up with us just a couple of days later.
The baby has been moving a lot more and I can tell that baby is getting bigger and looking for some more space. It is a trip now because I can see my belly moving or when the baby is pushing against one side. It is just unbelievable some times.
So while we were at home we had two big things planned for our visit. First was an over night camping trip to Doheny Beach for Meg's Birthday camping weekend. It was a wonderful time! It was baby's first trip to the beach and first time camping. We did great! The only thing that I did not think of was getting baby and I up from the ground at night. I was ready to get up multiple times during the night as usual just not from the ground up. We made a good time of it and all worked out well. It was just wonderful to be able to see everyone while we were there and spend some time with the Birthday girl and our friends and families. I had a wonderful time seeing all the kids have such a great time. Thank you all!
Baby's first trip to the beach!

The next big event on the agenda was getting back to Mom and Dad's and then on the way to San Dimas Canyon Park for a family get together for a baby shower. What a wonderful afternoon. Thank you so much to all who came it was great to see you all and spend the afternoon together. I know that Ron and I had a wonderful time and were so thankful. It was wonderful to be in the park again as this was the place to have a get together growing up and I have missed it for the past many years being in Yosemite. Pictures to come from this to come soon too.

Then before I knew it we were on the way home to Yosemite again. The car ride was good just a few more stops and the boys don't know what to do anymore. Usually the get to sit with me in comfort and they just don't know what is going on with me growing and making it a little bit tough for them to get comfortable. But soon we were home and back to our routine.
I still had a couple of days off to finish my week and I was able to start working in the baby's room again. Here is with the decals...
As everything is coming together we just love it and are so excited that we live in such and amazing place and have the space for baby to have a such and adorable little room. We are on the countdown now with visits to Renee every week for our check ups and maybe just 3 1/2 weeks to go. We will see.
We are trying to get some pictures next to the waterfalls since they are just huge right now. However, since they are so big it is hard to get close without getting drenched. We got one next to cascade just the other day with all of us.
I hope to get another post in before we get to see the child. But now someone is pushing against me saying they might need a little snack.
Have a great day we love you all. L
