I have been bad and missed the last few weeks...Let's catch up!

30 weeks



 Chris and I took Memorial day to go to Tahoe.  We drove to the Beacon to have lunch. 

As usual the water was FREEZING!





On Friday May 30 we got Kaylee for our 2 weeks.  We started off by heading to Stampede resivour for a weekend get away.  Camping at 31 weeks was making me nervous so Chris borrowed a camper from his family and we spent the weekend on the water. 





32 weeks
We had an appt with Dr. Slotnick who told us Cohen is growing well and has some chubby cheeks :) 

 Kaylee turned 9 today so yesterday we celebrated with a science project themed party.  She got to be the assistant and wear a lab coat








 To celebrate Kaylee's official birthday and Father's day I made Kaylee and Chris personalized pancakes for breakfast today.  

 We went to the dinosaur discovery traveling exhibit. 
 Bathroom fun 33.5 weeks and cooking ;)

On Thursday we got to see Cohen.

The Dr re-assured us that if he didn't know my previous history he wouldn't be worried about this pregnancy at all.  I'm very happy to say I did zumba 2x this week at 28 weeks.  I feel good but am starting to slow down.

26 weeks

Its been quite a busy 2 weeks!  Last weekend Chris and I went on a babymoon to San Francisco.  You may be asking what is a babymoon.  Well I wanted us to have one last trip away just us before Cohen comes.  We drove to San Francisco Saturday morning and got to AT&T park to walk around and explore.  We checked into our hotel quickly then went back to the ball park to eat...a LOT of yummy food, notice the wt gain this week :(  Sunday we hit the piers exploring before driving back.  It was a fun quick trip but just the 2.5 (Cohen) of us.

We rushed back to work on Monday to enjoy Chris turning 31 on Tuesday.  We went out with his parents to Jazz (Louisana style). 


 His birthday events continued when we got home ripping out carpet to prepare for our floor installation.
  Finally on Friday night we had floors installed and spent most of today putting the house back together.
