March Happenings

No baby yet but we did have some fun things going on in March.  Mostly, we have been enjoying friends, doing something most every night.  I am still going to work and Tuff is filling his days reading, working out and meeting up with various people.  Its been a great time of networking and relaxation for him.  Much deserved.

So March has been gorgeous weather.  Today Tuff went golfing with our friend Mitch and later I met up with just Tuff to hit range balls.

A time when black is not slimming, ha ha

 



A few days ago we also celebrated my 28th Birthday (March 15th).  We had a few fun gatherings and lots of dessert.  The gorgeous Rice Krispie cake in the picture below my friend Jenny made.  My favorite!  We also had Coldstone, another favorite of mine, another night.

Our friends Mike and Leslie of Nashville sent us a package in the mail.  Inside were three awesome onesies they decorated!  Check them out:

Here's some closeups:

We planned on making onesies with friends and Mike and Leslie were the first to participate.  So much fun.  Below are some more pictures of onesies we decorated with friends at a  few other gatherings.

Another fun thing going on this past month is Tuff has been experimenting with a sleep monitor.  Its called My Zeo.  Its a headband you wear that monitors everything from REM sleep to times you wake up a night and for how long you are awake.  Pretty cool.  Below are some examples of Tuff's last few nights.

I am due this Saturday, March 24th and if the baby doesn't arrive by April 7th, we will induce.   Your guess for arrival is as good as mine!  Thanks for all your support everyone.  We love you all.  Until Next time. . .

Showered with Love

Saturday, February 25th the amazing ladies of our small group gave me and Kristen (another pregnant small group friend) an amazing baby shower.  It was so incredibly special.

The theme was "Ice Cream Social" and each of the girls chipped in and brought the goodies.

My awesome friend Jenny, with the help of sweet Kelly made these cute cake pops, key lime and red velvet.

Halfway through the shower, our husbands showed up for a surprise visit to play a little new parents game.  Questions like, "how many diapers per week" and "what will your husband do during the labor" were asked.  It made for some good laughs as both Tuff and Dave are comedians. 

 We also said goodbye to our friends Dave and Kristen (the couple in the pictures above).  They are moving to Fort Worth, Texas for Dave's new job and we will miss them so much!  So leave it to our small group to throw yet another party.  This one was "Pittsburgh Favorites" theme. 

Tuff and I made buckeyes

Perogies

Anyone else not know what a perogie is?  A pastry stuffed with anything from cheese, to spinach to prunes.  They have their own freezers at the grocery stores here filled with the wide selection of flavors.  They are loved so much in Pittsburgh they even have perogie races in the bottom of the 5th inning at Pirates' games for entertainment.

Seems like February was a food themed month.  Haha.

I will be 37 weeks pregnant this Saturday, March 3rd so our next update could very well be a baby announcement!

Until next time...

San Diego Fun and Sun

February 2nd through 5th we got the opportunity to meet up with our friends Mike and Leslie in San Diego.  All of us have wanted to go to the zoo so we made it happen and much more. 

View from our hotel room, Double Tree Downtown San Diego.

Zoo day.

Skyfari tram ride.

Some of the animals!

We spent from around 9:30am to 4:30pm at the zoo.  Makes for a long day of walking but it was awesome.

Day 2 we spent discovering the coast.  First stop La Jolla, Chilren's Pool.

Seal watching at Children's Pool.

Barfly restaurant for lunch in La Jolla.

Dog Beach, Ocean Beach.

Cabrillo National Monument, Point Loma.  Also the sight of Fort Rosecrans Military Reservation, an active military reservation for the U.S. Navy.

Whale watching from the shore at Point Loma Light House.  We actually saw a few whales but no pictures.

Sunset at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery.

Last Day in San Diego we attended church at The Rock Church.  Then we headed back to the coast, specifically Sunset Cliffs, Ocean Beach.

At Sunset Cliffs we watched the surfers....

And played in the crashing waves!
