happy 30 weeks, sweet baby boy. you were showered in love, but I have a feeling that it will be nothing compared to the deluge that is coming once you get here... my heart is still swelled with gratitude and love for everyone who came (near and far) to celebrate our little boy yesterday, and especially to my @clabber, @chanindw @candigolightly for making it such a beautiful day. thank you to @dianadayz and @sid.lew for the Heavenly flowers, to my sissies @hanahjsmith and @emmelinesmith and cousins for your help, and to my loving Zwahlens @suezwahlen, @anniemarshall and girls, @laurendorae, and Betsy for making the trip. the love abounds. //
some babymoon moments I will always remember: one of the most successful sea glass hunts to date + a Keith Richards shell, the abundant fragrance of Jasmine almost everywhere in Santa Barbara, ordering half the menu at La Super Rica and making my dad very proud, practicing our parenting skills at the zoo, discovering a new kind of flower (the Matilija Poppy), our cozy, dreamy little room, the charm of Solvang, and, ending it all with one of our very favorite things, the masterful Les Mis. (and yes, I cried from start to finish.) it was a perfect weekend, just the two of us. we are so excited to meet our little boy. //
