Week 35

This week I am in my 35Th week! We had a busy one with Joy (Jeff's Mom) coming to visit for a few days and of course Mother's Day was in the mix as well. Joy arrived Wednesday evening...we quickly dropped her off at the house and headed to our second to last Labor of Love birthing class held at the hospital. Thursday Joy assisted me in getting all of the card orders for Price Cutter boxed up and to the post office. Check out all of the cool designs at a Price Cutter or Food Pyramid near you! Thursday evening Joy, and I along with our neighbors Lisa, Jake, and Johnny went to the first Farmers Market of the season in downtown Fairfield. We had a great time and tasted lots of yummy local produce, etc. Jeff met us for dinner at a favorite little outdoor cafe in Suisun Valley where there are lots of local wineries. On Friday we celebrated Mother's day early and I took Joy to get pampered at a nearby spa for a mani and pedi followed by lunch at a German bakery in downtown Vacaville. I got a pedi as well although it was painful at times with my horribly swollen feet. :( It was nice though since I can't reach my feet to paint my own toes. And we are finally to Saturday, which is where the pictures below come in...we decided it would be nice to be outdoors since the weather was just lovey, low 80's, so we packed up and headed to the Dixon May Fair. Good thing the fair is held in May because any later in the year and I would have croaked! We had a great time seeing the sites and partaking in fair food such as kettle corn and corn dogs. Lisa and Johnny joined us and I think he had fun as his first fair; he even got to see a goat. Saturday evening we had a BBQ on our lovely patio and Lisa and Johnny joined us. Sunday morning, Mother's Day, we got up at 5:30 AM to take Joy to the airport for her 8:30 AM flight back to Springfield. Jeff and I spent the rest of the day on the patio soaking up the sun as he planted some shrubs and palm trees and I relaxed and gave him moral support. We ended the weekend by treating Lisa to dinner at Chili's in celebration of her first Mother's Day since her hubby Jake was out of town and unable to pamper her like she deserved. I would say overall it was a pretty good weekend. Now I am ready to sit back relax and prepare for this baby boy to join us. Hope all is well with our friends and family!
