…was exactly what I needed.
There was so much going on around here that I needed to prioritize my attention for a few weeks. I know y’all understand how that goes.
A little recap…
Since my last post:
♥ I’ve been to the doctors and have a due date of April 8th. I can’t tell you how perfect the timing is on this pregnancy. Had it been a month before, Jon would surely miss the birth. But, as it stands now, he should be home for my last month of pregnancy and the birth of the baby. WOOHOO.
♥ I have just really started feeling sick this past week. I knew that chasing an almost 10 month old around while you just want to lay on the couch to ease the nauseousness would be challenging. But BOY is it challenging.
♥ Layla is crawling all over the place. She is just growing like a weed. She just got another tooth, too. 
♥ I had family come and visit (my sister, brother-in-law and their three children as well as my brother). We took a drive up near Yosemite and rode the Sugar Pine Railroad at night (totally spooky) and we also went to Sequoia. (More posts on that to come).
♥ I took a little coastal getaway with a friend for a few days. LOVE the central coast. (More on that, too!)
♥ Chopped off my hair. I’m in the post-shock “what have I done?” phase… mixed with feeling refreshed with a new style. The verdict hasn’t come back yet with whether I’m going to keep the new look or not.
♥ I have had the worst cravings EVER this time around. And the most random things. Like one minute I just want Chinese food noodles (which I craved with Layla, too)… and then I will have to have refried beans with cheese (like at Mexican food restaurants)… and today I want KFC mashed potatoes and gravy with coleslaw like no body’s business. A friend of mine (who is also pregnant and we have the same exact due date!!!) and I were joking around that we feel like we’re on the Britney Spears diet. haha! Of course, I don’t always give into my cravings… Some days I’m just too tired to get in the car to go get it. 
♥ We just booked our tickets for TEXAS Antique week in late September and I CANNOT wait! I haven’t been back to Texas since I moved from there in March 2010. Needless to say, I miss it like crazy. Besides, a little girls trip to antique shop and eat BBQ always sounds like a good time to me! And it will be Layla’s first trip (outside the womb) to Texas! Yeehaw!
So that is the last few weeks in a nutshell! Pictures and posts to come! Stay tuned.
PS. My sister, Emily, is in a styling contest for her local mall and needs votes! She has been trailing the entire time and JUST took the lead! The contest ends today. If you have a moment, go vote for her pretty please. It only takes a second! Spread the word… I know this means a lot to her! VOTE HERE! Thank you!!!
