this is my last week of maternity leave (!).
we took a little mini-vacation this weekend and went up to sonoma, where it's usually at least 15 degrees warmer, and got some sunshine. it was a bit TOO hot for my tastes on sunday (95 degrees!) but steve loved it. we hung out by the pool and took turns playing with rex in his little tent. we wet his favorite bamboo blankets and wrapped him in them to cool off and he loved it!
my mom arrives tomorrow. she's been on the amtrak california zephyr (what a great name!) the past couple of days. she'll probably be exhausted and will be desperately craving a shower, but it will be darn great to have her here. she hasn't been out here since we moved here three and a half years ago, and i'm excited to show her around. we didn't plan much for this weekend (i have a baby shower to attend on sunday) so that we can get her set up and oriented. we'll also probably scale back on social engagements for the next few weeks in order to get in the swing of things with me back at work.
i'm exhausted. how in the heck am i going to work full time?
