Dear baby,

            I love feeling you move more and more every day.  It is fun to wake up to your kicks every morning.  I have started to look at ideas for your room – but I guess we should figure out where exactly it is going to be before I start planning too much! 

Love,

Mommy

Santa Barbara

Serevina and I decided to take a road trip down to Santa Barbara to visit Gigi, Papi, Mum-Mum, and Pop-Pop.  It worked out well because Gigi and Papi came up for the weekend and we did the Pumpking Run together in Half Moon Bay and then Gigi drove back with Serevina and me.  Papi drove back with both the dogs (Beau and Flitter).  We had fabulous weather, very warm during the day – perfect for swimming, and cooled off nicely at night.  It was great to relax and play with Serevina without all the normal day to day stuff hanging over me.  We have both missed Sven very much and we are looking forward to seeing him tomorrow.  Here are some pictures from our week…

Dear baby,

            You are moving more and more every day.  The other morning I woke up to you kicking and pulled up my shirt so I could see my belly and you were rolling around all over the place.  It was so fun to watch and for Daddy to see.

Love,

Mommy

Dear baby,

            I wonder if you are going to enjoy Florence and the Machine tonight as much as Serevina enjoyed Bad Religion.  It was fun talking to Tonya today about your newborn session, I can’t wait!

Love,

Mommy
