The Office

Jim Halpert: Question. What kind of bear is best?


Dwight Schrute: That's a ridiculous question.

Jim Halpert: False. Black bear.

Dwight Schrute: That's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought--

Jim Halpert: Fact. Bears eat beets. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

Dwight Schrute: Bears do not... What is going on?! What are you doing?!

Our friends Veronica and Peter came into town this weekend and went to Carmel where Peter proposed! It's about time PETER!!  We drove up to see the happy couple and spend some time with them. Veronica's sister made us a gourmet dinner, and we got to hear the story of how it happened. Congrats V & P!!

Chloë @ 23 weeks

Little miss Chloë has been such a joy for me to carry. I really enjoy her little presence with me all of the time. I always worry about her comfort and happiness in there. I hope she is cozy and enjoying her stay. I was running errands the other day and everywhere I went someone asked me what I was having, or when I was due. It's crazy to me how quickly I went from no one knowing to strangers feeling free to comment... And even touch me.. Now don't get me wrong I am not one of those people who hate people touching my belly, but I was in the 99 cent only store getting soil for our plants and a man aproached me and said "Oh your pregnant! Do you know what you're having" I replied a girl and he goes "Can I" and before I could respond both of his hands were on my tummy. He then says " Tell your man to get a gun girl you can never be too cautious" and walked off. Like I said I don't normally mind, but seeing as though he took me off guard AND I was at the dollar store (in concord)... Being pregnant is such an adventure!

Baby quilting!

I am taking a class in April that is from a lady who is supposed to be a quilting guru. I am getting so excited to take it, because Iwant to make my little girl a soft comfortable quilt. I have never made a quilt befor so I really don't know what I'm doing. I went to Joanne's and got some random prints that I thought were cute. They don't all go together, but I can use some for future projects. Here is my material I picked.

Valentines day!

Adam got me flowers for Valentines day and took me to dinner! The flowers filled our entire house with a sweet floral scent!

Weenie Dog day!!!

On Saturday we decided to take Ginger down to the East bay doxie meetup group's Valentines event so she could hang with her own kind. She met her boyfriend there ( as seen below) Though she never got his name, here she is rounding second base 1/2 way to third!!!   

Ginger and I @ the doxie event.

Getting Bigger!!!!

I have just gotten to the point where people know that I'm pregnant, not just gaining weight.. Every time I go into work ( I work with some of the sweetest Chinese ladies!) I get at least a comment or two. The other day my co-worker Lina (her American name) commented that now "I can even tell that you're pregnant from behind" hmm.. I don't like the sound of that. That doesn't sound like a good thing. They ALWAYS mean well, but I never know what they are going to say to me. Todays comment was from my mom.. "You look like you are carrying a long baby" My translation: you are carrying your baby in an odd looking way.

The other day I went into the beauty supply store and the lady that works there always recognizes me and says "Girl you gotta baby round. I seen you from over there and I thought.. is that.. and sure enough you pregnant girl!" I must say I am relieved to be in the "you look pregnant" zone and out of the "You ate one too many cookies" zone. Here is a new picture of  my "long baby bump"..
