Well, for the last several weeks our days have been spent preparing for baby Marco to come join us. We anticipate that these next 4 or so weeks will be much of the same! We love it though. I have been blessed by family and friends who threw me two awesome baby showers...we got so much amazing stuff, his room is FULL of clothes and baby goods. Now we just need a place to put it all. We spent this last weekend painting the IKEA furniture (Galel was really excited about this idea :)) that was the wrong color finish. "But it was such a good deal!" We are anxious to get this done so that we can put all of the baby stuff away instead of just piling it inside of his crib. Last week we had our OB check-up and everything looks great! In fact, the Dr. said that I am already 1.5 cm dilated. This could mean absolutely nothing, and I could remain this way for the next five weeks :) I am hoping that it means that I will slowly dilate over the next several weeks and have an easy labor! Wishful thinking I guess...
Now we get to go see the doctor once a week for check-ups and pelvic exams...fun. It is going to be here before we know it, and we are overwhelmed with excitement, anxiety, and so many other feelings. I am sure that the blog will be nothing besides baby photos and videos come August, so we hope you are ready. :) Until next time!

Our "baby-moon"
Galel and I had the chance to get away last weekend for some time to ourselves. We stayed at the new Sheraton Resort in Carlsbad...it was nice! We arrived Friday evening and went out to dinner in Leucadia. Later in the evening we enjoyed putting our feet in the spa...since I am not supposed to go in :(
On Saturday we went to the beach, which was beautiful! I have to say though, the beach isn't the same when you can't lay on your stomach! Okay enough complaining about what I can't do while pregnant. We had lots of fun talking, people watching, and going in the ocean (it was so cold that the only time we went in was when we had to pee :) Saturday night we ate at a very yummy italian restaurant in the Gaslamp District called Trattoria La Strada. After we stuffed ourselves there, we went to a place called Extraordinary Desserts. If you have never been here, you for sure should. It is absolutely amazing. They have excellent coffees, teas, and of course, desserts. It is a very popular place and there is ALWAYS a line. But it goes by pretty fast.
Sunday we layed out by the pool and just relaxed. After checking out of the hotel room, we went to our friend Eddie's sons 1st birthday party in La Jolla. It worked out great that the party was there when we were because we hadn't seen Eddie and his family in a long time. After that we headed home! We really enjoyed our weekend of relaxation, especially knowing that it might be a long while before we get to do that again!
