We decided a few months ago to come up with a loose bucket list of sorts of things we wanted to do before baby arrives, and we're excited to start ticking them off this weekend.
Lucia's only request was to go to Fenton's for ice cream. My list was more like, let's go out to dinner, let's travel, etc.
Superbowl Sunday is this weekend, and you'd think it would be super special for Pete and I, given we met at a Superbowl party and the teams are Baltimore vs. San Francisco. But nope, we don't plan on doing anything. If we can get our new TV, then we might watch it, but I have to be honest, I'd only be doing that for the commercials and Beyonce.
Tuesday we celebrate our anniversary; seven years since we met, six since we wed. We managed to somehow score reservations at the #2 restaurant in San Francisco, Boulevard, and by some miracle our babysitter is available. We're excited to have a night out, and I'm mostly excited to get dressed up and feel fancy for a night, as opposed to the walking egg in ill-fitting maternity clothes, as I do most days.
Next weekend we're headed to Monterey Thursday night (woo-hooooo!), then onto Hearst Castle and Santa Barbara Friday, then South Pasadena on Saturday to celebrate David's birthday with the Pants Department. It's a last-hurrah family roadtrip as a family of three, and we're so excited to go (and thankful to Pete's family for the Christmas gifts to fund it!).
In early March, we're having a last hurrah adults-only get-together, in the theme of a chocolate tasting. We're planning on having fancy meats, pates, cheeses, wine, and chocolates for the tasting and some other desserts for our non-chocolate loving friends (yes, we have one, and somehow manage to still like him). We haven't had any big gatherings at our place other than Thanksgiving, but we decided it would be nice to do (it also helps that we'll have a nesting/cleaning goal to work towards).
Later on in the month, we have a trip to go to Sonoma for the evening to stay at Beltane Ranch, and have dinner at the Girl and the Fig, as a last hurrah romantic getaway before Baby Boy makes his arrival.
Baby Boy will be here in about eight weeks; we can't wait, but we're excited about the activities we have planned in the coming weeks.
