Long delayed, but much needed update!

Sorry for the long delayed post, been tired, been busy, been dealing with a new computer and had nowhere to upload our photos. I'll keep it short and sweet with mainly photos, since that's what everyone wants anyway, right?

Since our last post, Ben and I took a quick trip to LA the second week of March. He had to go for work, so I tagged along. It was nice to be away from work if only for two days, but the weather in LA wasn't all that great, which was my only complaint. It was nice enough for me to sit by the pool for a couple of hours on Tuesday, but I wasn't about to go anywhere near the water. We went to the beach twice to walk around, and watched the sunset from Santa Monica Pier. Very nice! Here are some photos from our trip:


Sunset from Santa Monica Pier

"Bona fide" celebrity (with paparazzi in tow) - her name is Katie Price, some model/reality star from England. It was interesting to watch the (albeit small) group of photographers follow her around. It was also nice to know we weren't the only people who had no idea who she was. Every other person on the pier near Venice Beach was as clueless as we were.


Our pets are our only children so far, so I try to include them on here too! Tanner found a new place to sleep; Andy found a way under the house in the basement, so that led to us having to bathe him, and of course we couldn't leave Milo out. First bath for the cats!

Tanner's new sleeping nook on the landing of our stairs.


Andy dirty, before the bath, during, and after the bath...surprisingly, once they got in and Ben held them in place for a while, they didn't seem to mind it so much.

Last weekend, my best friend Jen and my sister threw me a baby shower. It was amazing. They did such a good job, the food was awesome, and I loved that all of my friends were in one place!




Jen and Kari had everyone personalize a onesie for Baby Girl Lowe. They turned out so cute!






And here are some long awaited belly photos.

Baby Girl Lowe - baby or alien?

So we had super alien baby moment this morning – very cool! I reached over to turn the alarm clock off and when I laid back down, I felt her poking me really hard under my ribs. I reached over there and seriously felt something protruding out really far!!! If it hadn’t been dark, I swear I would have seen a foot or hand literally sticking out – she moved right before Ben got his hand there, but he could still feel her moving around a ton this morning. It was so cool and weird all at the same time!
