Perkins loves car rides, too, though Pepita doesn't understand cars and tends to bury her head in the cushions. I meant to tell you to check out the Rose Compass Gardens in Bodega Bay. You can rent it for events but sometimes, if the gates are open, you can just wander it and take a look. It's one of the most beautiful gardens I've ever seen. <br />May you have a little curly-red-headed girl---absolutely adorable.<br />Try to swing back this way Wednesday!Rampianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092413104877925807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-56324849671101159152009-05-22T10:13:52.714-07:002009-05-22T10:13:52.714-07:00See, when we go to Sonoma for Peter's paternity le...See, when we go to Sonoma for Peter's paternity leave, you guys can come down to California and we can go to the beach together.

I was in four days of "pro-dromal" labor and every day we were like 'is this real labor?' And they were like 'nope.' It sure as hell felt worse than BH and it sure was real--it just didn't produce a baby :)Jordan E.

It doesn't have a color name, I don't think, it's just pink, but it doesn't fade badly at all. Roughly every 6 weeks I go in, but every other time I do only the roots, so most of my hair goes 12 weeks between dyeings and it stays really bright. It is, however, completely fresh in these pictures, as I just got it done last week.<br /><br />And Aranel13, thanks for the info. I will definitely take this seriously!Laini Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064837312936707024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-83204784107611262262009-05-21T23:17:56.692-07:002009-05-21T23:17:56.692-07:00Looks like you had a grand time!

On Halloween day, I went in for a regular checkup and mentioned strange tightenings I'd been feeling, assuming that was normal. Nope. I was in preterm labor and ended up being so for the next THREE MONTHS. They did all of it: terbutaline oral, then the pump, then a magnesium drip (OMG the PAIN. Labor was NOTHING on that), before giving up and just letting me go. As my dr put it, I was one of those weird people who just contract. Owen was induced on 1-23 perfectly healthy and VERY alert. After all that excersizing, my stomach muscles zapped right back into place. Silver lining. Point is, don't feel stupid about reporting things. You never know when it could be something important. Lots of luck to you guys!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-62214707125346335972009-05-21T22:53:16.688-07:002009-05-21T22:53:16.688-07:00Grace is beautiful.

I loved the speech tags!<br /><br />The sand in the hair and the swimsuit reminded me of vacationing in Portugal with my cousins when I was a teenager. We body surfed, and our swimsuits got positively loaded with sand. I'd have to go back out to dump the stuff in the relative privacy of the water until another wave plowed me through the sand again!<br /><br />I haven't been near an ocean in years.myrnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-13954329140180148472009-05-21T22:43:02.643-07:002009-05-21T22:43:02.643-07:00Such fun pictures.

I have probably the same shade (Special Effects Atomic pink?) but it fades noticeably after a month. Do you just dye it often? It actually last well because I absolutely killed my hair, but I want as much time as I can get!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307631196866086125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-18549742530333998482009-05-21T19:12:14.299-07:002009-05-21T19:12:14.299-07:00A) Leroy has a sweet (and cushy) ride!
