Quezenlezzer Wedding

Last weekend we went to a wedding for Kataneh's long-time friend (of 24 years!), Megan Gillespie who married Darrin Quesenberry. The wedding was three hours north of SF near Clearlake, CA at Ceago Winery. It was a beautiful celebration and Kataneh's water didn't break!

First day of maternity leave and 6 months to go!

The day has come - my first day on maternity leave! Can you even believe it? It's about 75 degrees and I am enjoying my new book Half Broken Horses. Although our due date is June 2, Google gives a 1 month waiting period prior to birth. Then, I get an additional 5 months off.

I have got to say- it's only 3pm and I have done a lot already. I treated myself to a nice brunch. I kind of enjoy going to restaurants by myself. Don't get all sensitive about it - I like going with you as well. But when I'm alone, I get to focus on the food I am eating and be able to truly savor each bite.

After stuffing my face, I went to Peets and wrote out my birth plan. This included me writing how I would like my baby's birth to be handled and also that I really do not want an episiotomy. Traumatizing right?

I have a full load of baby laundry in the wash and am soakin' in the sun. I'll probably watch Oprah later - she only has a couple of more shows left OK? Don't judge. I'm going to do some kegels now and go for a walk.
