Quick update here...
Had our 30 week check up with Dr. Herold. Went great, she is measuring right on track and heard her strong heart beat. "She is just trucking along beautifully" Says Dr. Herold.
I have also been on a veggie, no salt, minimum sugar diet (not really a diet but just watching it) for the orpast 2 weeks and it totally showed, I only gained 2 lbs and I feel amazing! Dr. Herold said I'm right on track with everything and I look great. Blood pressure is normal and I'm gaining weight in just the right amount. So yahoo!
Dr. Herold did ask about a birth plan so over the next few weeks we will be coming up with certain things we want/need for the birth. Like, who cuts the cord etc. Should be fun to come up with the list.
She did say the next few weeks of appointments will be us just talking about what we want etc. So thats good.
Cannot believe its down to 10 weeks, give or take. Wow.
I'm walking everyday which is awesome and it feels great. We live in a great walking neighborhood.
Dr. Herold also said today "Today is a good day, whenever I see I have an appointment with Maia I get happy! Your so much fun!" Feels so good to have a doctor that I like and trust!
Okay, night. We are going to sleep allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll night whether she likes it or not :)
(see the mommy vibe is already coming into play!) haha.
Much love to everyone, Maia and baby Jo.

30 weeks on Sat......
Well hello my peeps!
As I sit here and write this blog my heartburn is beyond insane!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not sure if it was the water I just drank or the Jasmine Tea (what the hell!) but it's through the roof!
Other than that crazy crap, life is good. Just got over being sick (food poison) ya that was not fun! Poor Phil got a good chance to see what a 3am wake up call is like LOL. Poor guy.......he did great though! Took care of me and got me all better :) whew. Had 2 days off work too cause I was so depleted after yacking my brains out :(
ANYWAYS! Other than that, life is good I swear. We have been so blessed with people giving us so much great hand me downs! I just got a stroller and car seat today from one of my parents at work! Its perfect and amazing and I cannot believe it!
My boss and staff members are throwing me my first baby shower on Sat where the kids can come from my work and the parents too, food, drinks good fun etc. Should be great! A parent already dropped off 900 baby wipes from costco for us! 900!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! excuse me?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 900!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hard to imagine that we will go through it all but I guess we will.....ugh.
Baby Jo is moving like a crazy person!!!!!!!!!!! She is just making her way in my tummy. Literally the most insane thing in the world. Sometimes its hurtful and shocking but its only for a quick moment. Weird stuff!
Tuesday is our next baby app. We go every 2 weeks now. She is measuring "perfect" and seems to be doing just fine.
We also start our birthing classes on Feb. 9th for a month! Very exciting!
We also have met with my friend Laura who is a Doula and we had a great 2 hour talk about what she does and how she can help us through this in a more positive light. I just love her!
More to come! more pics too! Mariah is going to take some pregnancy pics soon! So exciting!
Love to you all, Maia, Philip and baby Jo :)

27 weeks, almost 7 months :)
Well well well.......it's a new year 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't believe how fast this year has gone....with the wedding and now this baby, whew....I'm exhausted haha.
We have 3 more months to go (seems like forever but I know it will go quick)
Phil has been such a huge help here at the house, he is helping me nest and move stuff around and get this place baby ready, he is rad.
My mama has also been a huge help with organizing all this baby stuff, been getting a ton of hand me downs which is been soooooooo amazing! Cannot believe all my rad family and friends that have given us baby stuff! so cool :)
Taking some more time off work now, down to 6 hrs a day which is still a lot but whatever....
Still been taking a ton of baths and trying to sleep, which is not going so well. My sleep is and always will be the most important thing in my life! But, with baby Jo moving so much and trying new positions ugh.....and with our 2 cats on my feet.....good lord!
Other than that, life is good and moving right along.....
here are some more pics :)
