I compared pictures from just a week ago and can see a huge difference. We took advantage of the long weekend and painted his room finally. I'll have to take some pictures with the real camera when it's done. We went with a tan/beige color on the top of the walls and blue on the bottom. We plan to put a piece of molding in between the two colors, but it's not quite there yet. We have also ordered his crib and that should be here in about a month or so. Shower invitations have gone out and I only have 9 more weeks of work! How does it happen so quickly??</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm still feeling really good, but I think going back to work has made me realize that the tiredness of the third trimester is here. I am exhausted when I get home! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Mr. G and I also celebrated our 1st anniversary with a trip to Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Once we got back from our trip it was time for the big ultrasound to find out the gender! It's a good thing we had the trip to preoccupy my mind because the suspense was KILLING me! </div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA6hIBqQ4I-HpEqlndJ1WbWdpOV7c3nMBOMa3w0RJqn-G7MESDF3BJzZRe1xzgt8LMS7UbBY24ZLE_lK_FQbTsTEzm0lJp6jv3NwmJEw57wPDBS5AA5FGZBlaaNXwe9EC5Is66MadRkOGt/s1600/money+shot+edited.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA6hIBqQ4I-HpEqlndJ1WbWdpOV7c3nMBOMa3w0RJqn-G7MESDF3BJzZRe1xzgt8LMS7UbBY24ZLE_lK_FQbTsTEzm0lJp6jv3NwmJEw57wPDBS5AA5FGZBlaaNXwe9EC5Is66MadRkOGt/s400/money+shot+edited.bmp" width="400" /></a></div>{the money shot...IT'S A BOY!}</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Don't even get me started on how excited Mr. G and my dad are! I come from a family of all girls and as soon as my dad heard the news he started jumping up and down and screaming and yelling! We did a big reveal dinner at our house on the evening after the ultrasound. I got 2 balloons, 1 pink and 1 blue. I had each grandma choose which balloon she wanted to pop and they both popped at the same time. Each balloon had a paper inside that said "IT'S A BOY" so they both found out at the same time. So much fun! I'm glad we choose to keep it a secret until the whole family was together. We didn't announce the pregnancy that way, but I had always wished we did. This was a nice way to have everyone find out at the same time.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Finally, school has started for both Mr. G and myself and with the start of school comes the start of football season! Life is quite busy right now, but I'm holding down the fort while Mr. G spends his days (and evenings) with the football team.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm just over 23 weeks now and I feel like time is flying by. I can't believe I'm over the half way point and that our little one will be here so soon. I'm definitely looking pregnant these days, but still feeling really good. I'm feeling him kicking several times a day and it is such a weird but awesome feeling. Mr. G has felt him a few times, but nothing too strong yet. I still have days of feeling completely in shock that I have a person growing inside of me, but it's very real these days and I get more and more excited every day. I can't wait to meet our little guy! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBDWxJt8Dst20lSbIwCqm0E17Wr42Pi7fs83nMkuu6ws4DtJpNuJFZ-3C-3UZ52QoaslQmvZwehp_9dU2UZAacFUFbRKIeY_Ub0FdtZbV0e-mzwL5qZl6ABs9f6YmWj2BpeM3TEZ1-QCmo/s1600/22+weeks.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBDWxJt8Dst20lSbIwCqm0E17Wr42Pi7fs83nMkuu6ws4DtJpNuJFZ-3C-3UZ52QoaslQmvZwehp_9dU2UZAacFUFbRKIeY_Ub0FdtZbV0e-mzwL5qZl6ABs9f6YmWj2BpeM3TEZ1-QCmo/s400/22+weeks.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">{22 weeks}</div>Mrs. Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06948244630197501598noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187125733171428059.post-22424387484223360252010-08-29T13:47:00.000-07:002010-08-29T13:47:57.995-07:00How long gone?Man...it's been awhile! Lots has happened since I last blogged. School started for both Mr. G and myself and of course once school starts...football starts! Tomorrow begins the 3rd week of school and I'm really enjoying being back in my classroom with my kiddies (I have SUCH a good class this year), but it's so strange to me that I only have 12 weeks of work left before the time comes to go on maternity leave. I'll be taking a good chunk of time off and it feels so strange to know that I won't be there for the entire school year. Of course, my own child is more important and will always be more important, but it is such a bizarre feeling that I can't explain. Hopefully I can get back to a normal posting routine!Mrs. Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06948244630197501598noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187125733171428059.post-73393621453027678472010-06-28T14:28:00.000-07:002010-06-28T14:28:50.643-07:00Baby Tales: 14 Weeks<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>Overall Feeling: </strong>The past two weeks have brought the aches and pains in full force. Growing pains in my belly, aches in my back, and pains in my neck...yikes! I haven't been sleeping very well so I dragged Mr. G out to Babies 'R Us to find the <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Snoogle</span>. Now, what is a "<span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Snoogle</span>" you ask...well...it's only the mother of all pregnancy pillows (says so on the package!)! It looks something like this...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Yes, I realize it looks like an alien of sorts, but let me assure you that it is indeed the "mother of all pregnancy pillows!" Mr. G about passed out when he saw how much it was and he keeps telling me that I owe him a "<span class="goog-spellcheck-word">snoogle</span>" (and not the pillow kind of <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">snoogle</span> either...) now, but you know what? I don't care...the pillow is amazing and worth every.single.penny!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>Food Cravings/Aversions:</strong> Still not craving anything although I'm still loving watermelon and strawberries. I've actually lost some weight (weird right??) since before I got pregnant so I'm trying my best to make sure I get my daily calories. The doctor didn't seem too worried about my losing some pounds right now, but she did say that if it keeps happening then she would be worried. I've been keeping a close eye on it and...of course I haven't felt guilty about having a chocolate chip cookie from Starbucks every now and then! </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I've been feeling really good for the past week or so, definitely not sick anymore, my appetite has returned and I haven't been nearly as tired...<span class="goog-spellcheck-word">yay</span>! Now, don't let that fool you...I've still been taking my daily nap...it is summer vacation after all!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"><strong>Food Cravings/Aversions:</strong> Chocolate milkshakes!!! I had to go buy plain chocolate ice cream so I could have one of these the other night. I've also been loving all the summer fruits that are in the grocery stores finally...watermelon, strawberries, nectarines...oh my! No aversions to food anymore although I feel like my taste buds have changed. Funny story...I was making egg salad yesterday and grabbed what I thought was celery salt. Turns out it was really cinnamon/sugar that I put in my eggs...<span class="goog-spellcheck-word">eww</span>. Maybe I should read the labels instead of just relying on the color. Don't worry, I smelled it right as I shook it out of the can and was able to salvage the egg salad!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"><strong>Highlight(s) of the Week:</strong> Since Mr. G has been out of town, he's been sending all kinds of messages to me, especially asking about the baby. It made me smile to know that he's thinking about both of us. :-) </span><br />

I'm not as tired and not quite as nauseous. I don't want to jinx myself but, I think we might be on the home stretch toward the 2nd trimester! School is out this week and I absolutely cannot wait to sleep in and lounge on the couch! <br />
<br />
<strong>Food Cravings/Aversions: </strong>No serious cravings still, but I'm more open to all foods again. I have been starting to cook dinner again and meat doesn't disgust me...<span class="goog-spellcheck-word">yay</span>! (Don't tell my husband yet though...<span class="goog-spellcheck-word">haha</span>) Cooking dinner might also have something to do with the fact that I'm pretty much done with work and don't have anything else to worry about. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>Highlight(s) of the Week: </strong>Have I already mentioned that school is out?!? <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Ok</span> <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">ok</span>...moving on...we had our second appointment with the doctor at the end of week 10. We got to see our little bean and it actually looks like a baby now! That was really cool and of course I cried. Little bean was moving around and waving his arms as if to say "Hi Mom and Dad!". So so cool! Again, everything looks great and little bean is about 4 centimeters long at this point. We left from the doctor and heading straight to spend the weekend with Mr. G's best friend from college and his wife along with many other friends. We knew it was only a matter of time before they realized something was up. And sure enough...as soon as someone offered me a beer and I passed, I got the side eye look and then a huge grin. They were very excited and we had a great weekend!</div><br />
People have been asking if I have a feeling about the gender and yes, all along I have thought that little bean is a boy. I'm sure (s)he's a girl though just to prove me wrong! Mr. G and I have a boy's name picked out, but we haven't begun to talk about girl's names. Maybe we won't need a girl's name...we'll find out in the beginning of August. I can't wait for that moment!<br />

<br />
<strong>Overall Feeling: </strong>Sick and tired...well...most of the time. I seem to be OK in the mornings and am able to drag myself out of bed to make it to work, but as soon as I get home, it's right to the couch...and sometimes the toilet! I even took a few days off work during these weeks just so I could stay in bed...<span class="goog-spellcheck-word">shhh</span> don't tell my boss! I think it started to set in this week that there really is something inside me and that feels really weird to me. I'm not sure how to explain it except that it's very <em>weird</em>! Don't you like my technical explanations?? <br />
<br />
<strong>Food Cravings/Aversions:</strong> Still can't stomach meat or Mexican food. And since my morning sickness is the worst at night, I haven't been cooking dinner for Mr. G. I've been living on granola bars, cereal, crackers and pasta. Plain, plain, plain!<br />
<br />
<strong>Highlight(s) of the Week:</strong> No major highlights or milestones, but a few more people have started to ask and I don't want to lie so I've told them. It's just too darn exciting! Mr. G's football team had their big fundraiser dinner at about week 9. This is an adult only event and is usually a huge party...I obviously don't get to partake this year and of course people were going to ask. We had decided before the party that we would tell people. The news is starting to get out there!<br />
<br />
I miss my morning coffee and the occasional beer or glass of wine. I've taken to calling Mr. G "the caffeine Nazi" because he won't let me have ANYTHING! I keep trying to show him all the research that says a little bit is perfectly OK, but he's not having it. I guess this is a battle we'll have to ask the doctor about. <br />
<br />
Sorry no picture this week, but we're almost caught up!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Mrs. Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06948244630197501598noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187125733171428059.post-1334252502156402582010-06-10T10:32:00.000-07:002010-06-10T15:31:26.867-07:00Baby Tales #2: 7 weeks<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><strong>Overall feeling:</strong> I've been <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">suuuper</span> tired and a bit nauseous. It's been really hard to get up and get to work, especially because it's the end of the school year and everything is so busy. I got some ginger chews from Trader Joe's that seem to be working for the nausea. Other than that, I've been eating small meals all day...and cereal for dinner. The evenings are the worst. Poor Mr. G has been on his own for dinner for a few weeks now and I can't see any end in sight. I haven't been sleeping well either. I wake up a few times to go to the bathroom and can't ever get myself back to sleep. I think it might be time for me to steal Mr. G's body pillow! It has been REALLY hard not to tell other people and I admit that I've told a few at work and a few friends, but I can't help it! <br />
<br />
<strong>Food cravings/aversions: </strong>I wouldn't say I've had any cravings, but I do enjoy some Taco Bell bean burritos! I'm really disgusted by chicken and other meat and Mexican food. Just the thought....ugh!<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>Highlight(s) of the week: </strong>We told our parents on Mother's Day and it was so much fun! Mr. G's mom had no idea and was completely shocked...too bad they had chosen to go to a Mexican restaurant for dinner and the only thing I ate was rice and beans :-( My mom cried and my dad calls every day now...just to check in. We also went to the doctor for the first time! We got to see our little peanut and a tiny flickering heartbeat. I think that was better than telling our parents! We couldn't hear anything yet, but we did get to see it and the doctor said everything looks great for now. My due date is officially Christmas day, although the doctor thinks I'm a few days behind based on my cycle. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

On Monday, April 19, I was so tired I went to bed at 6:00 PM and Mr. G thought I was sick...little did he know! I slept for 12 hours and woke up in the morning still exhausted, but I dragged myself to work. I barely made it through work and couldn't get myself home fast enough. <br />
<br />
As I was sitting on the couch, it sort of hit me that aunt flo hadn't shown up yet and she was due 2 days ago. Hmm...I'd been keeping really close track of my cycles so I knew pretty much to the day when she was supposed to arrive. Naturally, my mind started wandering to the pregnancy test that was sitting in the drawer in the bathroom. But no...that couldn't be it and besides Mr. G wasn't home yet!<br />
<br />
Mr. G got home, we ate dinner and he asked how I was feeling. I told him I was still exhausted and that I thought I could possibly...just maybe...be pregnant. "Bust out that test!" he says. Umm...are you sure?? Do you realllly think I could be...do you really want to know NOW??? YES! <br />
<br />
So we did and...the rest is history. We were a shocked, excited, scared, crying mess! I wish we had taken more pictures that night, but both of our cameras were broken and all we had were the iPhones... I think we were also scared to document anything for fear someone might find out! Don't worry...we've since bought a new camera!<br />
<br />
Here's the only one from the night:<br />

Well...I think I've become a little more interesting these days...<br />
<br />
So if you haven't already heard...I'm pregnant! Whoo hoo! We are so very excited and cannot wait until December when our little one will arrive. As of right now, we are due on Christmas Day...poor kid! As soon as we found out I made my husband promise that we'll never do that whole combine gifts thing. Haha...then I made our families promise that also! Maybe we'll just celelbrate in June and have an "un-birthday" party! We just started to tell people and I am about 11 1/2 weeks today, but don't worry...I plan to go "back in time" and fill you in on the week by week from the beginning!

Mr. G and I had a great day yesterday with his family. Unfortunately, we weren't able to spend the holiday with my family this year, but such is life when you're married I suppose. We had volunteered to host here, but Mr. G's grandfather is 93 and can't travel very well anymore, so we all packed up and headed to his house yesterday. My favorite part was the 8 pies! Yum!<br />
<br />
Today I spent the day preparing for dinner tomorrow night with 6 of our friends. I'm so excited, it'll be the first time we use our china! I'm making chicken parmesan, fresh pesto pasta and these individual lemon raspberry trifles for dessert. I made pound cake, lemon sauce, and raspberry sauce today. Tomorrow I'll make the whipped cream and put everything together in our stemless wine glasses!<br />
<br />

Anyways, I jsut finished a week of parent-teacher conferences and let me tell you...I AM WORN OUT! Friends, if you are a teacher you have some sort of idea just how exhausting it is to meet with 30 sets of parents in 4 days, but if you aren't...I envy you! But hey, now I get to look forward to a week of vacation! The light at the end of the tunnel :)<br />
<br />
Mr. G. also finished up high school football season with his team. They are a new high school and this was the first year they played at the varsity level. They have no seniors at the school yet (next year will be the first for that) so all in all, they did very well considering they are a very young team. Life is returning to "normal" for us...whatever that is! To me "normal" means that I get to see my husband for more than 2 hours a day...yay!<br />
<br />
I'm working on my updates and I am trying to post more often! I had some fun taking photos of my rings tonight...enjoy!<br />

I have been on a baking spree for the last couple weekends. A month or so ago, I made this amazing <a href="http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/apple-crisp-pie.html">Apple Crisp Pie</a> from the Williams-Sonoma website. YUM! Mr. G loved it! So when he announced that he was making dinner for me last night, I asked if he wanted me to make some dessert...of course was the answer and so I made the pie again. Today it looks something like this...<br />
<br />

Now, on Wednesday I ventured to San Francisco with my 30 fifth graders and 19 of their parents along with 4 other classes of students from my school. (I'm getting to the macaroons I swear!) It was quite the journey as the Bay Bridge was closed the previous night due to an accident during construction. Anyways, while we were at the De Young Musuem for the King Tut exhibit, we had the most amazing chocolate dipped macaroon ever. I swore to myself that I was going to make them this weekend and try to recreate the coconuty goodness! Well...I tried and they aren't terrible, but they aren't quite right. The recipe called for 2 extra large egg whites and all I had were large eggs, so I put in about 2 1/2 large egg whites and I think they separated a little too much. Guess that means I'll have to make them again to get it right?<br />

I've recapped all of the events by now and have shown more pictures than you probably cared to see. I plan to do one last wedding related post and then *sadly* it'll be time to move on to other life happenings! <br />
<br />
So I'm wondering...is there anything else you're dying to see or hear about from my wedding?Mrs. Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06948244630197501598noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187125733171428059.post-1202814500206572992009-10-17T13:54:00.000-07:002009-10-17T13:55:54.203-07:00Wedding Recap: Bridesmaid Gifts<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I debated almost the entire length of my engagement about what I was going to get to thank the fabulous girls that stood next to me on my wedding day. I started early and just kept finding small things that I added to their bag of loot! My advice is to start early and buy things over time. That way you aren't spending all the money at once and it's more manageable to spend a bit more because you're doing it over time...at least that's how I rationalized it!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Overall, I spent more than what is probably average for bridesmaid gifts. My feeling was that these girls are my sisters and my best friends and I should treat them like queens. They spent money on their dresses, shoes, getting their hair done, my shower, gifts for me and I felt I needed to show them how appreciative I was of their love and support. And of course, it's just fun to buy presents!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">After dinner we were able to mingle for a little while before the music began and we really started dancing. The weather was fabulous, not to hot, not too cold...until...the sun went down. The breeze came up and without the warmth of the sun...it was chilly! <em>I</em> don't remember being cold, but I do know that many of our guests began to leave because of the cool breeze and we hadn't even cut the cake yet! About 9:15 we began toasts, cut the cake and followed with the garter and bouquet tosses. Of course we danced the night away until about 11:30 after that! <br />

These were not a priority of our's but our families did want formal shots...so we obliged...<br />
<br />
Immediately after that, we headed into the house with our bridal party to line up and "rehearse" our introduction "dances". I say that with quotes because there was nothing formal planned, but each couple did something different and cute and it made for a great start to the reception. We were introduced to "Hot for Teacher" and took our seats for only a moment before heading off for a few sunset shots and then straight to the buffet line to get our yummy food!<br />

I remember lining up, all the girls in front of me and me at the end of the line with my dad. He seemed to be freaking out more than me and I kept assuring HIM that it was going to be OK!

</div><ol><li>I can't live without chapstick! I have a tube in my desk, in my car, (a few) in my purse, on my nightstand, and next to the sink..ridiculous I know!</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">I can sing the words to any song that comes on any radio station, but my car prefers country music.</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">I love to bake and have a lime green Kitchen Aid mixer that doesn't match my kitchen...yet! (I made super cute football cupcakes for a party last weekend!)</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">I love, love my job as a teacher, but secretly wish I could be wedding planner all the time...I think my husband would die if I said I was going to do this full time!</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">I absolutely love...as gross as this sounds...but I love fast food from Taco Bell (for those on the west coast)! I know it's disgusting to even me, but something about it just tastes so good!</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">I have an entire cupboard in my house devoted just to candles...</div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My life revolves around football season...middle of August to middle of November</div></li>

We decided that because our ceremony ad reception were all in the same place, we didn't want to have to rush our pictures and we didn't want our guests to wait around for dinner(and possibly get drunk!) for 2 hours while we took our pictures. I am SO glad we did the first look and our pictures before! I honestly think it was one of the best decisions that we made. I know I was so much more relaxed after having already seen him and it also gave us some moments alone before the craziness of the ceremony and our 250 guests! We got some amazing pictures and I love, love the pictures of our first look...even if I am a crying mess!<br />
