To the cutest boy I know.


My favorite thing to do right now is daydream about what our little girl will be like. I get so excited to have a little mini Bradley that I can snuggle and be with all day long. He makes it easy to imagine what it will be like when he does cute things like come out with his shirt inside out AND backwards, not realizing it all night :) He was of course the happiest, funniest little kid and I really hope we get one with his good heart.

I have a lot of feelings running through me right now, and the strongest one is how grateful I am to be doing this with Brad. He has been so sweet throughout this whole pregnancy giving me multiple foot massages (sometimes more than one a day), helping with dishes and laundry, tickling my back, adopting my sick eating habits (Bob's doughnuts and milk at midnight is our latest fav), telling me I'm "so pretty" all the time, bringing me flowers, cooking dinner, being genuinely excited about every little thing I can't wait to show him about the nursery or little baby clothes, singing Justin Bieber on the guitar to make me laugh and help me forget how miserable I feel, telling our baby how excited he is to see her, telling me what a good mom I'll be, and a million other things that I appreciate so much.

I can't wait to see how much this little girl loves him. She is so lucky to have him as her dad!

Here's to hoping she looks a little more like the pictures above... and a little less like this:
Haha, I love you Brad. Thanks for everything.

4th of July with Teddy and Di

Aren't they the cutest? They are both the most fashionable, fit, fun people and it was so fun having them here!!!

Highlights:
  • Brad winning the best of 3 tennis tournament... although they both felt like winners because Ted beat Brad for the FIRST TIME EVER
  • Enjoying (yet again) the best burger in the world at the Ferry Building Farmer's Market. Never disappointing.
  • Watching Brad and Ted buy shoes together. 3 hours later they both walked away with a GREAT purchase.
  • Union Square. Love Union Square.
  • Fillmore Jazz Festival
  • Bi Rite ice cream in Delores Park. I *wish* I had Teedo's reaction to that ice cream on video. I've never seen anyone so gitty about putting something in their mouth! To his credit... it really is THAT good.
  • Driving crooked Lombard Street every time we passed it
  • Walking the GG Bridge
  • The beautiful Japanese Tea Gardens
  • Sundaes at Ghiradelli
  • Haight Ashbury
  • 4th of July picnic/nap/bacci at GG Park while enjoying a patriotic marching band concert
  • Sneaking in to the last 5 minutes of the Balenciaga Exhibit at the De Young Museum
  • Movie and pizza in the Marina
  • Fireworks from the top o Nob
  • Mini doughnuts from Pier 39

Doesn't that belly look fake?? I wish it were. I wish it were.


And after all this... NO BABY!!!! What more could she want from me? As long as you're healthy baby... you can stay as long as you want.
But we can't wait to meet you.

Thanks Ted and Di for coming and celebrating the land of the free and the home of the brave with us. Go America! :) Until next time

I had to...


Haven't you always secretly wanted to be in a flash mob? I have! So when the opportunity came my way, I wasn't going to let this 9 month old belly get in the way! Some friends and I got together once a week for about a month and learned 3 MJ dances so we could show of our skills around San Francisco! It was seriously so funny I swear I was laughing the entire day! I love these girls and am so happy we actually went through with it. And who knew the belly would get so much attention! Sorry baby... your mom is super embarrassing.

Asking my name for the SF Chronicle (I was DYING)

I love these ones of Marianne!


The gang. Rachel, Marianne, me, Lisa, Erika

How awesome is this picture? Somebody started coming out of her shell! :)

So proud of ourselves!!

I had SO much fun on June 25th honoring the King of Pop. RIP Michael Jackson! We love you!! See you again next year :)
