gap update

Well, we got a callback for Baby Gap this morning! We had gone to a big audition last week and I knew that she did well--but there were so many cute kids, you just never know what they are looking for! So we go to a callback on April 12th, then if she is chosen, the shoot would be the 13th-16th. Not sure how callbacks work...we never had one with any of the other shoots we have done. But this is a huge shoot for their entire fall campaign that will consist of in-store wall posters, advertisements, online web use, mailers, everything! So, we will see how things go! As long as she is on good behavior, we might have a good chance--keeping our fingers crossed!!

ultrasound #2

We had our second big ultrasound today, measured at 21 weeks, so now official due date is August 5th. Compared the profile pic to Makena's ultrasound and it looks identical! Not sure if thats just how all babies look at this stage, or if they will come out looking alike. But it is strange, looks like a duplicate! Second pic is taken in 3D, comes out a pretty distorted because the baby was moving so much, but you can get a general idea!

modeling baby gassy gooma

As you know, I do this little modeling gig on the side where I take pictures of Makena for designers, and in exchange I get to keep the clothing. The lady who runs this "agency" also owns her own clothing website, called Baby Gassy Gooma. She organizes the model placement service--companies come to her, pick out a model, then she sends us the clothes. But she asked us personally to model for her website, so we just did photos for that. She likes a very "rustic" setting, so it was perfect because I was going to be at Chris's parents house anyway (the epitome of rustic!) We stayed there at the ranch for a few days, and had a very nice time with them.

napa

We just returned home from a wonderful 4 day trip to Napa with TS friends. It was so beautiful--a much needed retreat! Although it is such a tease being pregnant in Napa (a glass or two doesn't hurt though!) We stayed at a wonderful little hotel in Yountville--very first class--and had some remarkable meals. LOVE Napa, it was hard to leave and come back to reality! Anyhow, pics from the trip HERE!

20 weeks

Okay--here goes! I never took pictures when I was pregnant with Makena until I was about 7 months along. Now I wish I had them to compare to this pregnancy. So I thought I would start now taking pictures every 4 or 5 weeks just for fun. Here is 20 weeks along!

play dates

Chase and Makena

We are members of the Children's Discovery Museum out here and there are so many cool things for kids to do! We hadn't been in awhile because last time Makena wasn't extremely excited about it. But this time she LOVED it! Her favorite thing to do is paint the old VW Bug they have on display there. They change out the paint color every day so it almost looks tie dye.


Here is our day at Pump it Up, a big warehouse filled with inflatable bounce houses where they can jump and slide. We typically go every Tuesday morning, and she loves it! She was with her friend Sienna and they were being so silly!

springtime

I know its not technically spring yet, but things are starting to really get beautiful and "spring-like" out here! I love this time of year, I think its my favorite in the desert. Things are going well for us, I am about 18 weeks along in the pregnancy now and feeling good overall. We have our next big ultrasound in about 3 more weeks, and we could find out the sex if we really wanted. But it was so exciting not knowing with Makena we have decided to wait one more time, since this will most likely be our last :(
We are going to Napa in 2 weeks for a business/leisure trip. Business for Chris, leisure for Makena and me! Haha! Makena is so excited to fly on an airplane--her first "real" airplane trip (she flew when she was 3 months, but obviously doesn't remember that!) Anyway, a few pics from the past few weeks!
