Midnight Stroll
Thru Yosemite National Park. We attempted to catch the sunrise at the top of Half Dome. Missed it by 2 hours...but it was still amazing!

When in Rome...
I stood on the Spanish Steps almost all by myself because it rained. Went to Vatican City, road a tour bus, witnessed a car hitting a guy on vespa (ouch!), got hit on by the waiters at the restaurant next to our hotel, saw the coliseum, and mastered the Metro!
Firenze
Our first stop in Italy was Florence....my fav stop! Shopping was amazing as were the sights. Yummy leather, yummy food. We saw the Statue of David, traveled to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Venice.
The French Riviera
Beautiful weather...beautiful place! Went to Monaco and Cannes, and visited my aunt. Then we took the train to Italy.
SF
We visited friends, road the bus, checked out the Exploratorium, ate some good food, and celebrated us!
Houston 1st
Hubby and I went to Houston to visit his parents...in the middle of May 2010. It was hot and humid!! We went to Galveston, checked out Austin, downtown Houston, and ate some crawfish (yum!!).
Next stop...San Francisco to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary.

Week 29
Well, I've got 11 more weeks to go. Sorry for the non-posting...I've been keeping up with our baby website instead. So Belated Happy New Year to everyone, and Belated Happy Lunar New Year to everyone!
Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though they don’t necessarily coincide with my own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.
Baby is about two and a half pounds and would be between fifteen and seventeen inches tall if he could stand. Baby's adrenal glands are producing a chemical which will be made into estriol (a form of estrogen) by the placenta. This estriol is thought to stimulate the production of prolactin by my body, and the prolactin makes me produce milk. So even if Baby comes early, I'll still be able to breastfeed. Each passing week improves the likelihood that Baby will be born strong and healthy. His brain can detect rhythmic breathing and control body temperature, so he's less likely to need breathing assistance should he be born early. He's growing eyelashes, adding fat, and developing his brain. Because of brain wave activity, researchers have speculated that babies can even dream at this time!

REMINDER: THINGS NOT TO SAY TO A PREGNANT WOMAN
- "You are so big/huge." Yea, I kinda take it offensively, and it makes me sad. It makes me think about what I eat and how much I eat.
- "Your baby is going to be huge," or "You sure you're not having twins?" Again, doesn't matter if you're male of female...it's not funny. And I hate having to explain myself. Look, every woman is different, and she is pregnant in a different way from the next.
- "You look ready to pop, I can't believe you still have (insert time frame here) to go." Thank you. So what you're saying is I'm fatter then what I should be? Uh, thanks, jerk.

It's a ...
So hubby and I had our fetal survey appointment on Monday where we found out the sex of our baby! We were supposed to find out last week on Tuesday, so my excited self found it hard to sleep and then slept through the appointment; I was super bummed...I mean SUPER bummed. I ugly cried (snorting, choking, inability to speak clearly) to my sister...who, by the way, laughed at me because she couldn't understand what I was saying. I see, now, how it was funny, but I felt terrible at the time! Luckily, I did not advertise on Facebook or Twitter or Blogger about when we were going to find out. I did mention it to some people via word of mouth, but that's all. And every time someone asked me what the baby was, it just dampened my spirits. I felt like I was already a bad mother for not being able to wake up for an appointment with the doctor...well, I finally got over it.
Anyways...want to know what we're having? Check out our baby website!
