week 7

ay yi yi...here we are at the end of week 7. i know i've said this before, but the time sure flies. it's been a busy week here as you can see by the photos. last weekend, grandma marilyn was in town. we went up to walnut creek to visit the local Mantle clan. you'll see great grandma betty and great aunt audrey in the photos. tuesday, we had a lunch date with great aunt margie and then yesterday was a big day in santa cruz with catherine and carrie. it was my 35th birthday, so we had a picnic lunch over at carrie's house. we celebrated catherine's birthday too, which was on the 1st. it was a great day. had lots of great presents from papa jimmeh and other family members plus lots of email and phone wishes as well. too bad i didn't get to watch the rest of the hockey game though. we are in bed by 8pm every day.

papa jimmeh is home now with us for my final week of maternity leave. part of me is looking forward to going back to work, but another huge part of me is nervous about scheduling our morning together and getting to work on time. i'm also not looking forward to pumping at school...i'll try it for a while and see how it turns out first. i think that jimmeh is a little nervous and excited about being home with chloe all day, but that is to be expected. i'm going to miss her little face all day, i'm sure, so i'm uploading tons of photos & viseo on my new ipod so i can have her with me all the time. :)

other milestones: first earthquake (5.6! on 10/30), first bath, and first weigh-in (we bought a scale)...she's 14 pounds! holy crap! big baby!
