20 weeks! Half-way there!

Very excited to be half done with gestation.  Not that it's been awful, but with all this baby preparing I just want to see and hold the darn thing!  My 20 week ultrasound and first midwife appointment got moved to this upcoming Thursday.  We've still decided to not know the sex of the baby much to the frustration of many of my coworkers.  For some reason San Jose people really want to know while Santa Cruz friends think the surprise is fun.  Nonetheless, everyone thinks it's a boy!

Construction on the house starts in two weeks and we're still making Ikea trips and Jake and our landlord are making lots of design decisions.  I feel like it's going to be a mess for the predicted two weeks it's going to take to finish.  I'm going to have to stay at friends houses in San Jose to day sleep because construction starts at 8am and they said they put in 10 hour days.  I can't really stay with the neighbor because she has cats.  We're already planning on getting a hotel in San Jose on July 26th because I work the night before so I can go there right from work and sleep, then Jake will meet me there later in the day and we can go out to a nice restaurant for our anniversary.  Yeah, we don't really want to spend our anniversary in San Jose, but it's just going to have to be that way this year.

Friday we went to Ikea and on a whim I emailed my cousin Tracy to see if she was available for dinner.  Luckily she was and Tina and John would be in town as well.  So Jake, Tracy, Tina and I went out to eat Friday night in Oakland and had a really nice time!  Here we are after eating with my really fat tummy:


And here's a bonus Turnip photo during a dog day afternoon (tired after a long swimmy session at the local swimmy hole):

Great picture of Tina, Tracy and you. You all look so happy. Must have really enjoyed your dinner together.
"Little one" looks like he/she is growing nicely. Probably kicking up a storm, also.
Love,
