Girls night out!

Saturday night Megan, Heather, and I headed out for a relaxing girls night. Megan's cousins watched Ben and Peter for us so we could escape for a little bit and rejuvante ourselves.


We first stopped by a shop called Tai Pan Trading. The greatest store ever! They are a wholesale home decor shop. Any holiday decoration for your house, is available in a warehouse building the size of Costco. I resisted the urge to buy the entire store. But, I think I will be heading back there in a few weeks for a few Halloween decorations. I just discovered a location down the street from me!!!!!
We then headed over to a historic little place called Gardner Village. (No, I don't think "our" Gardner family have any relations.) They have yummy restaurants and little speciality shops. (For those of you familiar with California - it reminded me of Julian.)
We ate at the delicious Archibald's restaurant. We had fried green tomatoes and avocados. And I had a very filling plate of beef stroganoff. (I perplexed the cooks as I requested grated cheddar cheese on top. But the waitress understood as she herself was pregnant, and has requested deep fried pickles from the cooks!)

Baby "Bean" Gardner first ultrasound

I guess I jinxed myself with the second to last post. I was bragging on how "easy" this pregnancy has been. Well, the good news is that I have yet to lose my lunch, breakfast, or any meal with this baby. The bad news is that I have been losing a lot of blood and having sharp pains in my belly. This was day 4 of those same symptoms, and I decided to head to a DR to make sure everything was okay. The great news is that I saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time and it was strong! And the cervix looks perfect. Also, I went to one of the best OB Women's health centers in the west. The Mary Birch Women and Baby center is amazing! Their staff was wonderful! I was treated by a perionatologist (Dr who deals with high risk pregnancies) who just "happened" to be on staff that day. I felt very reassured after leaving that I had received the best treatment possible. (Shauna - I thought of you the whole time) I realized how blessed I am to always have such great Dr...

Decorating the boys room

Image
I have some decisions to make. For the first 4-6 months Zach will sleep in his cradle in the master bedroom. But then after that, Ben and Zach will be sharing a room. We do qualify for a 3 bedroom. However, I have no desire to move any time soon. So it's decorating time! For the past 3 years Benjamin's room has been sports theme. Dan and I both love sports. That is no secret. However, I am a little burned out of sports theme. And Ben's crib bedding is stained, ripped, and faded. So, I need to decide on Zach's bedding and a new set for Ben. So I need your input! My mission if I wish to accept it, is to choose a new theme for the room without breaking the bank. I also have to keep in mind that whatever we choose for Zach, will be with him for the next 3 or more years. First option - This is my favorite. However Dan insists that is is way too girly and will give Zach a "complex". ;) What do you think? Too girly? We would just have the basic bedding. Not the wall...
