Friday the 13th!

So today is Friday the 13th and my official due date. When my mom realized this she asked me to talk my doctor into changing it to the 14th. She didn't want her first grandchild born on friday the 13th, I am not superstitious so I didn't care but we changed it to please her. Now I realize how long a day is and I really want him here today...I don't care if its the 13th! I have tried everything, I just got finished working out on the elliptical machine for 30 minutes hoping that would do something but still no luck. Oh well, at least I know the end is near if he doesn't come by Tuesday I am being induced that day, but I sure hope he decides to come on his own before then!!!!

I'm Pregnant!

I know this is old news, but I haven't blogged in forever so I have to make the announcement that I am pregnant! Almost 19 weeks. My first trimester was ok, a lot of throwing up and eating way too much. It has officially been one week without losing my cookies and I am thrilled.
Last Friday was an amazing day for me, I felt the baby kick for the first time. I was sitting down watching Grey's Anatomy after a long day at work and all of a sudden I felt a distintive little poke about an inch below my belly button. I pushed back to make sure I felt right, and the baby kicked again. I laughed and then totally cried and called Gavin at work to tell him that their is a living baby growing in my belly. I know I seem a little slow 18 weeks later to realize this, but being my first pregnancy it really hit me and I am amazed at what the human body can do and what a blessing it is to create life. I am leaving in an hour to go to the doctors to find out if it's a boy or girl!!! I am bringing my camera so I will post soon with pictures!

Our Christmas Gift!!!!

Gavin and I just love our fabulous new camera we got for christmas from our wonderful parents! We have been wanting a really nice camera to take better pictures of Boca and our future kids. Hopefully having such a great camera will motivate me to take a lot of pictures and blog more often!

Breanna's new favorite thing!

I have a new favorite thing that I wanted to share. It is called the comfort U pillow.

I just got this pillow and I love it! I have been having some lower back pain for quite a while due to work and by sleeping on my stomach. Many people including my chiropractor have told me I need to sleep on my side or back instead of my stomach because that is hard on my back. I have tried and tried, but I love sleeping on my stomach and no matter how hard I tried I would always wake up that way. Not anymore, I have had my comfort u pillow for about a week now and it has worked great. I still have some lower back pain after work sometimes, but nothing like I used to. I wake up refreshed without any aches or pains. I am glad we have a king size bed because this pillow is huge. At first Gavin was not a fan because that meant it was harder to cuddle, but now he is trying to steal it from me in the middle of the night.

Bodega Bay Video

I forgot to add a silly little video from our Bodega Bay trip. It was so beautiful and as we were biking along the water a seal came up to say hi.

Diet Coke

One of my favorite things in life is a large Diet Coke from the fountain. It has more fizz than the cans, so I have to drink it from the fountain. I know it is not good for me, but how I love it so! I have decided to say goodbye to my good friend for as long as I can, but my goal is at least one year of not drinking any soda at all. It has been 19 days. I am missing it, but I am finding a new love for water, which I know is great for me....goodbye Diet Coke, I will miss you!

Bodega Bay

Gavin works at the Lafayette Park Hotel part time, and has been working there for 10 years. A perk of the job is getting one free night a year at each hotel chain. Their are 5 hotels and one of them is in Bodega Bay. I am embarrassed to say that after 10 years, this is our first time taking advantage of the free night stay at Bodega Bay. It is my new favorite place. We drove up, explored the beautiful town, and had fun in the pool and hot tub. Then the next day we went on a wonderful bike ride! Gavin and I decided we will never let another year go by without using our free night!

Gavin being silly

Our "free" hotel...we sure love the benefits from Gavin's Job.

We had a blast on our 10 mile bike ride along the water. It was beautiful!

The view of Bodega Bay from our fabulous balcony..it was a little cold so I bought a hooded sweatshirt to remember our trip by.
