babies, babies, everywhere!

I've had a fabulous couple of weeks. New York was great and the conference was oh, so informative. The best part was spending time with the girls all over New York. Allie, Luisa, Sabina and I stayed at Hotel Mela together in Times Square and I got to catch up with Laura and Lesley, as well as Sal and Enrique. I had one of the best meals of my life at Babbo and we even got to meet chef Mario Batali. I feel so lucky that I got to take this trip while I am still feeling good (even though I am huge) and it really made me appreciate these friends that much more. Everyone was so easy going and fun to travel with. I love these ladies!

After New York, I headed home to SF for one day and spent 4 hours at work before Damon and I drove the Susanville to spend Thanksgiving with the family. While home, I learned that Kathryn was checked in CPMC and delivered her precious little one, Juliana on November 20th. She is so beautiful! It sounds like their experience didn't go according to plan, but I am sure that that is the way most births must go. I must remember to keep an open mind once we start thinking about the whole birthing process. I can't even think about it yet because I know I will start tripping out. Anyhow, Juliana is amongst us now, and I, again, feel so fortunate that we will be raising our little one alongside Jeremy and Kathryn. What wonderful parents they will be (I guess I should say, are), and I look forward to sharing poopie stories and watching them grow together. I can't wait to meet her.

We drove to Reno on Tuesday night and hung out with Missy for a short spell. Wednesday morning we headed to Susanville and had some quality time with the family. We had a delicious meal, prepared by my mom, for Thanksgiving, and spent lots of time watching baby Tyler and football. Tyler is about the sweetest thing I've ever seen. He spends most of his time laughing and checking out everything around him. I love him so much and hope that my little baby is as wonderful as he is.
