  Less than ONE WEEK!!!

  Until our little bundle of joy is "due" to arrive..... I can NOT believe it! Wow, wow, wow!!

  So, that has obviously been the main thing going on around here lately.  Continued preparation - lots of relaxing and making sure we're ready ( or as ready as we can be ) - and taking care of ourselves. We've needed it too, as we've both been having a few "final days of pregnancy" or in Brad's case "sympathy final days pregnant" issues, and I also somehow picked up a nasty chest cough this weekend. We layed really low over the weekend, sadly cancelling plans with friends, but it was much needed.

  We kind of had a big weekend ( although it wasn't really the weekend ) anyway though - as Matt and Dasia came into town last Wednesday - Friday. We had a BLAST with them, and it was so much fun to have some couples time with some of our best friends before becoming parents.

   I picked them up Wednesday afternoon from SFO - we came home and snacked, and talked, and talked and talked until Brad came home from work. Talked some more, Brad and Matt oogled over Brad's new bike, Dasia and I decided to get looking "cute" for our night out, and we headed to Burlingame for dinner at Il Fornaio. It's one of our faves, and we were all craving Italian / comfort food - especially as the weather has been COLD lately!

  Here are a few pictures of our night.........

  

  BEST friends - Brad and Matt!!

  

  And the two guys bonding over their mutual love of all things bike / cycling.

  

  Dasia, Shrinky, and me - Our stoic Christmas family photo! I love this chick, cause she's silly and crazy like me! We really had a great time together! ( also, Shrinky looks SO dang funny in this shot - like he's sleeping, or dead )

  

  And a normal one too. Lovin' on baby Charlie!

  

  And one more silly one of her spoon feeding Charlotte. Seriously, I think we may have driven the guys a little crazy. =)

  We chilled out that night after dinner at home and once again more talking! The next day, Brad had to get up and go to work and the three of us decided to head out for the day and do some exploring, and fun stuff! We started by having breakfast, and sweets ( we did a lot of eating while they were here, and had a LOT of desserts - Dasia, while small, can put the smack down on some desserts! HAH! ) at our favorite place - Pamplemousse! It was amazing!! And then headed north across the bridge into Sausalito for the day to do some shopping, lunch and just hanging around that adorable town.

  

  Here are Matt and Dasia at Horizons (which sits right over the bay ) for lunch. Check out one of Matt's purchases, his sweet new hat!

  After lunch, buying some gifts, and seeing all of Sausalito, it was back across the bridge and a stop off at Golden Gate Park. We decided to hit the Japanese tea gardens, since most of the other museums would be closing before long, and had some tea, got some great pictures and walked around the gardens.

  

  Our three little tea pots

  

  A shot of Matt, and me having tea and snacks.

  

  And one of the three of us. Sadly it was starting to get dark, so the shots didn't come out quite as good as I'd  hoped.

  

  Dasia, and buddah! HAH!

  

  A sweet one of Matt

  

  And one last one ( before my battery died ) of the happy couple!! Newlyweds for 9 months now. How cute are they?

  It was a great day with friends. We arrived home, and after much debate ( ok, really not much at all - we were all kinda tired, and feeling like doing a whole lotta' nothing ) we decided to stay local, and have a really relaxing evening. We did dinner at Chevy's on the water in Foster City, and then came home to more talking, attempts at a game night ( which the boys vetoed ), eating of popcorn from a tin, and then lots of watching old music videos on OnDemand which was a total blast!

  Dasia, and Matt- it was SO much fun having you, and you're welcome to stay with us ANYTIME you'd like!!

  So that was that.....I woke up Friday morning with NO voice ( too much talking ) and dropped Matt and Dasia off at the airport, then we had a doctors appt right after - and nothing much has changed. Still dilated to 1, baby's still way low, and no predictions as to any day now, or a week or so out. I came home after and crashed, hard! Woke up with still no voice, and had to cancel plans for a game night with friends. Bummer! Brad and I stayed in -got pizza, and watched movies instead.

  Saturday, woke up with the cough - Brad and I made it out for a little while to hit Target, and BJ's for lunch, and then home for more sleeping, relaxing, and movies. It was really nice to have a weekend just us ( especially as those are numbered, and don't happen all that often to begin with )

  Sunday, got up for early church - saw our little sunday school class ( which was SO cool ) and watched the kids sing in front of church - darling!!, went to a breastfeeding class in the afternoon - my husband is a saint, seriously. and then home for more down time.

  And that's about all I've got! I'm headed to a friends house tomorrow ( I'm I'm feeling well ) for Christmas cookie baking / decorating, I have dinner with girlfriends, and a Christmas dessert party Wednesday night, and then Baby Charlotte can come any time after ( or really before, I just want that chick out!! HAH! ) that!!

  Okay, LOVE to you all!!!

  Thanks for keeping up with us......
