The Crib

I had the greatest day. It's nice to be back home and enjoying Chicago again. I did miss it. Of course, San Diego was heavenly but there's something nice about going home to your stuff and regular apartment.

It's also been great getting ready for Baby Sven. We're staying in our one bedroom apartment this year and have very limited space. So Sven's room will be our dining room closet for this first year. I found the greatest mini crib on craigslist! It's not my normal design style but I do love it. I love it a lot. We picked it up today and put it together. I can't wait to get everything all set up for him. Now that we're back in Chicago I think the nesting instinct has been released! I spend the day unpacking and organizing. I still have a bit to go but I'm happy with the progress.

I'm Lovin' It

There are quite a few things I've been loving lately, so I thought I'd share them with you.

I'm loving that strawberries are in season. They're cheap and local and delicious. I eat some every day! The other night Jason had strawberries for dinner. It's hard to beat a truly fresh strawberry.

I'm loving the way I feel so healthy. It helps that I get to go outside and walk with Deebo. We still do it 2-3 times a day. We both enjoy it. I also get to go swimming a lot, which is great. I realized the other day that I haven't had a headache since JANUARY! Yep, no joke. I feel like a strong healthy pregnant woman. :) And, although I am seven months pregnant I still feel like I can do everything I want to do (except take surfing lessons).

I'm loving my last week in San Diego. We went out to dinner on Tuesday with some associates at Fish & Richardson. It was Jason's farewell dinner and we went to Ruth's Chris Steak House. Yummy. If you haven't had their cheesecake you should. I'm not kidding when I say it is the best I've ever had. I've spent the rest of the week finishing up crafty things and getting us ready to go. We're all packed and this apartment looks better than when we got here. That makes me feel good.


I'm loving the new Heather Bailey fabric. This seems like a lame thing to love but I do. It's called Pop Garden and has a lot of lovely colors. This would make great skirts or baby blankets. If you love it too and want to have some for free visit Vintage Chic Boutique.

I'm loving the free time that Jason has these days. He has been able to read leisure books and everything this summer. It's so nice.

I'm loving the Olympics. Well, mostly loving the Olympics. There is one small thing that drives me crazy. The commentators. Yep, I would rather watch without sound. They are so annoying!

I'm loving all the stuff I was able to accomplish this summer. When I get back I'll take pictures of all my little projects. It's been a lot of fun to learn new skills. Danielle introduced me to the greatest fabric store ever. It is called Bev's. They have a great selection of modern designer fabric. Yum.

Surf Lessons

Tonight Jason had surfing lessons with Max & Danielle. It was a lot of fun and I was so incredibly jealous. I can't wait to come back so I too can participate. I was impressed how well everyone did.

Max & Jason paddle out.
