One of my favorites

She’s got a baby inside
And holds her belly tight
All through the night
Just so she knows
She’s sleeping so
Safely to keep
Her growing
And oh when she'll open her eyes
There'll be no surprise
That she'll grow to be
So beautifully
Just like her mother
That’s carrying
Oh Capri
She’s beauty
Baby inside she’s loving
Oh Capri
She’s beauty
There is and angel growin’ peacefully
Oh Capri
Sweet baby
And things will be hard at times
But I've learned to try
Just listening
Patiently, oh Capri
Sweet baby
Oh Capri
She’s beauty
Baby inside she’s loving
Oh Capri
Your beauty
Just like your mother
That’s carrying...Oh Capri

35+ weeks Cont'd.

April has gone quickly! The first weekend Kenny's family came for the long weekend and I had another incredible shower. Ashley did an amazing job with sweet details and delicious food. The following day we enjoyed a beautiful day in Cambria at the beach and always scrumptious brunch at the restaurant. Easter was another fun weekend with nanny here! We got a lot done and again, yes, more yummy food. Can you tell a prego is writing this? Nanny made a really cute carseat cover that is perfect for my girly girl. We also designed Elle's bedding, can't wait to see it. Pictures soon to come! We've been busy nesting and preparing for Elle's arrival. We have been fortunate to see a ton of family the last couple of months and we are hoping that by the end of the year we will have been able to see Grandma Sugar and family up north as well. Rylan is growing up more and more by the hour. He just moved into his new big boy room, so fun, but a little sad for mommy that her "baby" is not really the baby anymore. He will be such an good big brother. He loves his little friend Kealani who is about two months old. At my shower he just wanted to kiss her and show her his toys and pat her gently! So funny to watch... I have been feeling great. Getting close to being done with a huge belly though. Everything is right on track with both of us. I'm not having any of the complications I had with Rylan-hooray! One of my midwives said if labor starts anytime after the 26th of this month they wouldn't stop it. That is exciting! We are anxious to meet our little girl. The last few days we've had a gnarly heat wave that we were not ready for at all. Time to bust out the fans and shorts! I think it's been in the 80's and 90's since Friday. We are really making the most of our active and adventurous little boy with lots of outside play time, trips to the park, the children's museum, the beach, avila barn, and much more. We are making a point to be purposeful with our days as a family of three. We are so looking forward to having our daughter join our family. A few of our friends have had babies the last couple of months and it's so fun to see all these families growing. Rylan's group of friends is growing by the week :) I don't know how many more posts there will be before Elle arrives but hopefully I've caught up on the happenings of the Pulliam's. If I've left anything out, it's not for lack of significance or importance, just lack of solid sleep. Just a taste of things to come-right?

35+ weeks

So here it is a few weeks late, but since it's almost May I might as well update on the last two months. Eureka was great! Rylan was a total champ on both flights. Fortunately neither flight was full so we got the two back row seats on each flight. Although I was exhausted and glad to be done, it went really well being solo without a stroller and a short layover in SF after a decent delay out of SLO. We had a fun week with Gramps taking time off to play and shuttle us around for errands and visits. My mom and sweet friends threw a beautiful and sweet shower for me and I was truly spoiled. Thanks ladies! It was so nice to catch up with friends. One of the best parts of the trip was that my old friend from elementary school who moved to WA when we were young surprised me and flew down for the shower. We hadn't seen eachother for over seven years! I never would have guessed she would be there, but I was absolutely shocked and so excited to see her. What a wonderful gift. On Wednesday we stopped in Ukiah to have lunch with family on our way down to SF. That night Bekah meet up with us after a fun dinner on Pier 39. Thursday mom and I went to the ginormous Old Navy on Market st. and that afternoon we all went to SF Zoo. The zoo was awesome, I had no idea it was so huge! Rylan had a great time, as did we. We will go back for sure, but now that we know how huge it is we will make a full day rather than an afternoon. Thursday night Uncle Joel meet us at Rainforest Cafe. I think this was Rylan's absolute favorite. He was so excited and loved the gorillas coming alive. I thought it might scare him, but I was wrong. He kept looking up at them trying to imitate their sounds and beating their chests. It was adorable, wish I had caught in on camera. Friday morning we were the first appointment and the treatment went so much better than the last time. Thank the Lord for that!!! We were out of there quickly and on our way home. It was a busy but wonderful week. We were spoiled by nanny and gramps for sure! P.S. Rylan slept perfectly in the packnplay in Eureka and the hotel, what a blessing that was! He's such a sweet and gentle boy. He is my sunshine!!!
