THIRTY!

30 weeks down and 10 more to go!
It will be interesting to see what happens with this belly of mine - I feel like I am having twins!

Grover Beach & Disneyland

We had such an awesome last minute mini vacation last weekend! We headed out Friday after work to visit Benson's brother in Grover Beach, CA and then headed out from there Sunday evening and met up with his Sister and her family at DISNEYLAND for a couple of days.

We had a ton of fun visiting Tanner and Shelly and two cute nieces who we don't get to see too often. We ate lots of yummy food (like Slo Doughnuts) and hung out at the beach enjoying the cool weather.

Benson went surfing for the first time (despite his fear of sharks and dislike for cold water)

This little lady just wanted to build sandcastles all day

and this little girl was my happy companion soaking up the sun.

I miss this little face.

It was much warmer (a little too warm) once we got down to Disneyland but we had lots of fun anyway! I couldn't ride most of the rides but it was still fun to be there, relax and do all the fun kid stuff.











Even the driving was fun! Benson and I are so busy we don't really get a ton of time just to hang out so having several hours in the car with just the two of us was fun.

Oh my cankles...

otherwise known as how my pregnant body is re-adapting to the heat after our California vacation:

Sneak Peek

We have some new exciting things going on in the Garner house - like:

If you look closely you'll also see our new dishwasher and some new paint on the walls! I can't wait until the rest of our remodel is done!

Arizona Summer

Ever wondered what happens to a banana if you leave it in the car during the summer in Arizona?

Well wonder no more!

I've solved the mystery:

Take Note: Same principle applies to dogs and children.

26 Weeks & Counting

That's right - 26 weeks down and only 14 to go!

I can't even believe how fast time goes.

I am getting bigger by the day and moving at all has become a joke - it really makes me laugh half the time at how immobile I can be. I have sat down on the floor a few times lately and almost gotten stuck there becuase it's so difficult for me to stand up and Benson has to help me stand every time. He even told me the other morning "I don't think you should be doing that anymore".

I am running low on clothing that actually fits and have seriously contemplated wearing only muumuu's for the next three months.

Feeling the baby move is becoming quite the experience. I can tell she is getting bigger because when she rolls I can feel it on all sides of my belly rather than just one spot at a time. I think she has late night dance parties in there by the feel of things.

I've been working on planning out her room and it is coming together really cute! I can't wait to start working on it and see it come together.
