36 weeks

who wants to guess
when baby will make
his appearance?

i think he is going to
give his mom some love
and come after the due date.

my guess: june 26 at 10:00 a.m.

i love being pregnant so
i don’t mind a few extra days

this will give me time to
finish my
work projects,
house projects, and
yard projects

and it will give us time to
get the rocking chair we special ordered
the new camera and
the new iMac i’m going to
convince graham we need.

by the way, here are the names
we’re still considering.
graham has a favorite but
i need to see baby first.

ryker (graham’s favorite)
jackson
logan
and a couple others…

his middle name will be james
(thank you Tom and Norah
for the history about that family name!)

a solution

dear baby,
i’ve decided to call you
george until dad and I can
figure out what your
name will be.

this is so I can avoid
people giving me
anymore suggestions

so sorry,
check-out clerk at target,
I don’t need to
hear the 50 names
you think I should name
my baby

and see you later,
random lady at the mall.
i don’t need your list
of suggestions
(or what your friends
named their babies).

san diego

we just got back from San Diego
and had the best time!
we stayed with my family
in a beach house on Mission Bay

here are just some of our favorite memories

riding cruiser bikes around the bay

boogie boarding in the ocean

having family BBQs on the deck

learning I hate hot dogs

seeing dolphins in a wave off the beach

eating a Café Mono

learning our neighbor was a genius…

playing super size soccer on the beach

learning that:
flying + pregnancy + sun burn + dehydration = super swollen ankles

also...
i usually get a little stressed when I travel.
graham knows how to deal with me.
but I think Graham was a little taken back
by having to deal with 5 stressed Robertsons
especially when we kept missing the exit
to the airport on the way home.
