Sissy Ties The Knot

My little sissy got married this past weekend. She was amazingly gorgeous and they are very, very happy. They've been dating for 6 years, it was about time!

They tied the knot at the Greek church here in town.


I was the matron of honor, at 33 weeks preggo. WOO!

Back on the home front, baby's room is totally coming along:




Speaking of coming along, I am starting to feel quite LARGE.


This was taken at 32 weeks. I'm starting to feel like a beached whale whenever I settle into the couch. I no longer simply 'stand up', it's more of a heaving of myself off the couch, complete with grunts and groans.

Weekend mocktails for the pregnant people in the family:

Strawberry Mom-jito. Strawberries, Basil, Lime Juice, FRE Zin, and 7-up. It's quite tasty.

Vices for those of us who are not:

This One Week In April...

It's no secret my blogging has gone... downhill. I'm not going anywhere, hoping that the desire to document my life for the unknown internet readership (except for family - hi Dad!) will return once the kiddo is here.

Anyhow, where I've left off on composing actual posts I've picked up on daily photos with the iPhone.

So here's a glimpse of the past week:

Opening Day @ AT&T Park, year #7


How young is too young to get kids listening to Keith Richards?


Amazing rainbow @ the U. after a freak hailstorm


Really Katy, make yourself comfortable wherever you see fit.


Flora in the yard is exploding and I LOVE IT.


And imagine that, my kid is being difficult.

30 Weeks

How far along? 30 Weeks

Total Weight Gain: (+20) since pre-pregnancy. OYE!

Maternity Clothes? Yes please. I've moved on to nursing bras as well.

Stretch Marks? Still none. I can't be this lucky, can I?

Sleep? Pretty good. DMC likes to kick like crazy at night so he'll keep me awake for a few extra minutes whenever I get up to use the bathroom.

Best Moment This Week: Noticed how many people are noticing ME being pregnant. There's definitely no if, ands, or buts about it now.

Movement: Moving away from kicks to jabs. I can see him pressing body parts into my belly.

Food Cravings: Frozen yogurt, cupcakes, cheese. Luckily the sugar craving is NOT GD, since I found out I passed my test no problem. Sugar-free fro-yo has been a GODSEND.

Gender: BOY

Labor Signs: Starting to feel Braxton Hicks here and there. DMC WAS in the proper head down position at my 28-week appt, but I am pretty sure he flipped around. The doctor found his heart way higher this time.

Belly Button - In or Out? In. But it's spread open wide!

What I miss: Raw sushi. Happy Hour. I have an unbelievable desire to go to Las Vegas right now.

What I am looking forward to: We decided on a 4-d ultrasound @ 34 weeks, so I guess that!

Weekly Wisdom: Belly size is relative. I've been told repeatedly how small I look, but the Dr. told me today I'm actually measuring a little bigger than 30 weeks. I swear this kid is coming early!

Milestones: Weekly countdown in now in single digits!
