update

Oh I am such a blog slacker!!! I feel like I have been sooo busy - but not sure doing what! Anyone ever feel like that? Let's see what has been going on - I've been feeling better (nausea still hits from time to time) more energy and just watching my belly grow. A few weeks ago we celebrated my sister in laws 30th Biirthday! We had a girls night at a fondue restaurant here in Livermore - ate way too much - but worth every bite! I really do love fondue - especially as a girls night - cheese, bread, chocolate, dessert all around girl gossip - whats not to love! It's hard to believe that my 30th is just around the corner - that's crazy to me! It truly feels like just the other day I was on my way to Vegas to celebrate my 21st!!

I've been watching my nephew Caleb twice a month - and it is giving me a little taste of what it will be like having two little ones! Yikes... Let's just say the days that I babysit, are the days i spend all day in pj's, no makeup, and hair pulled back! Caleb is looking more and more like Garrett these days - and his personality is so much fun to watch evolve. 

Mason has started speech therapy - just to help his speech along. He's a little slow talking - and though I am not concerned - with his diagnosis at birth and a little push from me, he is just getting all the extra resources. We go every week - on Fridays - for an hour... actually he is already saying more words! up, off, bath time, duck, dog, shusha (what we call the pacifier) and many more. He is also able to sign 4 words, and we are working on number 5. He signs for more, eat, please, drink - and were working on thank you!!! Gosh he is growing up fast! In a few weeks we start back in swim lessons - he did them last year at just 8 months old. My little fish!

In a couple of weeks we are heading to Disneyland to celebrate Angela's 21 Birthday! It's been 14 years since I've been there so I can hardly wait! I am soooo exctied. Steve tells me that he has always wanted to eat at the blue bayou at pirates of the caribbean - so I booked us lunch for just the two of us - I hope he enjoys it. Maybe next time Ill take him to club 33...

Our dog Zena has been a little pain in my @#$! She ended up really sick last week (diarrhea then vomiting) - when I took her into the vets - they ran all the tests and came back with they think she has pancreatitis. But since she was sooo sick I needed to take her to the ER! Long story short - they did an ultrasound on her - and found that she needed emergency bowel surgery at 2am to remove the towel she swallowed - WHAT! I felt horrible but i had to say - how much and let me call you back! Needless to say we ended up paying for the surgery - she's home now with staples in her belly - and a cone on her head!
