Arts & Crafts - "decorate a onesie".

Baby Naming Party

Sunday we had a wonderful party in a beautiful redwood grove in the Oakland hills. It was great to see a bunch of our friends - thanks so much to all who came! We had some really great food, lots of name suggestions, arts n crafts, a nice hike/mountain uni ride, and some music and games! We also had a special guest, Tom Thornton (grandad-to-be) all the way here from Mississippi!

Midwife visit

Went to see Jeri, our midwife today. Things are going great, I've gained 23 pounds so far and have 6 weeks to go. So far, so good...

And here is Lance

Better get some pictures of the "Dad-To-Be" in here. This is Lance passing time while we wait to take the ferry from the island.

My how we've grown

In just a few weeks, team "pregnant Ericka" has grown substantially. This picture was taken on July 5 on Angel Island in the SF Bay. It was a gorgeous day with an amazing view. Erica's baby is due in a week or two, Erika still has about 6 weeks to go.

pre-birth class photo

We just finished our 8 week birthing class. I am so glad we took it, we met some nice folks and learned a ton. This picture shows all of us "pre-birth". We should start getting some babies any day now...
