Mother's Day

Well I hit a couple of milestones today. The first is today is Mother's Day and it holds an even more special meaning for me this year and we await the arrival of Baby Tucci. The second is there are just 99 days left until his due date. That's right... we are down to double digits!!

I got back from Phoenix around 2 a.m. this morning after the UW softball team wrapped up the Pac-10 season. I hit the sack alone as Ross was on shift and was rudely awakened with a charlie horse in my calf around 9 a.m. Shortly thereafter I heard Rossi sneak in and he surprised me with a Mother's Day present- a beautiful lily plant in a pink ceramic pot and boy did that turn my morning around. I was thrilled and told him I wasn't sure if he was going to recognize Mother's Day since technically it's still just the two of us and he said "Of course we are celebrating. You are the mother of my child." Needless to say he got a lot of brownie points for that.

I had to head to work today as the softball team learned its postseason fate and found out that it's getting shipped out to Nebraska on Wednesday. It will be the team's third trip there in the last five years and a part of me is really excited since I know they have air conditioning in the press box!! Normally this is one of many factors I consider when judging another facility but this year it has become even more of a bonus, especially as it was pushing 105 degrees in Arizona over the weekend. I'm convinced the kiddo went through a growth spurt because my oven was cranked to high.

Ross picked me up this afternoon and we met up with his mom, sister, niece and nephews to play in the park. We had a great time and I can't wait until next year when our little one will be trying to keep up with his cousins. I promise ours won't be the kid in the monkey harness like the little boy we saw today!!


Here are a couple shots of the parents to be. A special thanks to my mom-in-law for the cute non-maternity shirt in these pics.
