Slight update

Rob and I spent last weekend driving around the 909 visiting family. First we drove to Temecula to visit my cousin, her husband, and her 4 year old son. That was a lot of fun, walking around the mall and Target looking at baby items and maternity clothes. I'm already in maternity jeans but only because I can't hold my gut in anymore and traditional waistbands cut into me. I bought a pair of size 14 jeans from Old Navy, thinking they would work, but really it just looked like I had really baggy jeans on and they fell down constantly. So the maternity jeans were definitely the way to go! I also had to buy a bathing suit since (A) mine is in WC with Rob and (B) I probably wouldn't fit into it at this point anyway.

After all that, we drove to Hemet to visit with Rob's family, which was great. Lots of homemade food (chips and dip, salsa, hamburgers, salad, cobblers, pies) which is music to a pregger's ears... assuming it's what she's craving ;) We swam in the pool and hung out in the jacuzzi (don't worry, I wasn't in there long and it was colder than bath water), ate dinner, and played Trivial Pursuit. It was great to see Rob's family again. Hadn't seen them in about 10 years and they seriously haven't changed somehow! I definitely felt welcomed and there was no weirdness. Rob and I have come to the conclusion that the "weirdness" we were worried about was all in our heads :)

We drove back to my cousin's house at about 1030pm and slept. The next morning we all went to breakfast (of which I could only eat half) and then hung out at the house. Ironincally, as Rob pointed out, my cousin's husband had run a 10K race that morning, but my cousin and I were the ones napping in the living room after breakfast LOL! We woke up just in time for Rob and I to take off for LAX to get him to his flight on time. We nearly missed it... or so we thought... when he got there, it was delayed. I went to work right afterwards and thought I was going to pass out.

I'm really glad that our weekends are going to be slowing down now. Next weekend we have a wedding to attend (for which I'm doing the hair) on Saturday, but Sunday is a free day. Therefore we can sleep in and just go to Target and register for things :D The weekend after that, I move! I can't believe it's happening so fast. But I'm definitely ready, and I know Rob is too.

For those of you asking for pictures of me on this blog: I would be happy to help however I rarely take photos of myself (unless they are for Rob, and you don't want to see those). I am also debating as to whether I should suck my gut in, so you can see that at 9 weeks I'm not really showing yet, or if I should let it out, so you can think "My god! Is she sure she's only 9 weeks???" Lemme know what you think via comments and I'll take pictures accordingly.
