Since I am now on maternity leave, Valerie came to visit me on Tuesday morning for a couple days. I think we were going through sister withdrawals, and I welcomed any help I could get to do some things around here before the baby comes. :) Val got here about 10:30 that morning. We finished getting ready and left for lunch with my friend, Brenda. Val had to back our new Pilot out of the garage because I couldn't open the door wide enough on the driver's side to get in the car without smushing Ryker. Yikes. We met Brenda at Panera Bread. It was nice to see Bren, and we had a fun lunch. Afterwards, Val and I ran a few errands (including finding me a maternity bathing suit), and we then decided that we desperately needed to go to my nail place for pedicures. I <3 their deluxe pedi. It's such a treat for $35. Peeps in the Katy area...check out Star Nails and Spa over by The Lakes of Bella Terra. You won't get a pedicure anywhere else after going there...I promise.
Val and I decided to get baby blue while we wait on Ryker to come...
Nick came home from work, and we decided it was finally time to put the carseat in the car for good. :) Here's some pics of us installing the seat and putting in the seat cover and sun shades. After all our hard work, we headed out to Atami Steak and Sushi to have a hibachi dinner with Val. She'd never been to hibachi before, and she loved it! It was as delicious as I remember, and the fried rice is the best! Yummo! We ended the night back at the house watching the first game of the NBA Finals. The Heat beat the Mavs. Nick was a little disappointed, but he will survive. He still says Mavs in 6 anyway.
Wednesday we were supposed to hang at the pool for awhile in the morning, but I realized that the pool was closed again the 2 days Val was here. This always seems to happen when she's visiting...she still hasn't been to the Firethorne pool yet in 3 years. Crazy huh? We decided to go see the movie "Bridesmaids" instead and then visit Val's fav lunch place...Chick-fil-a. Back at the house afterwards, we did some touch-up painting, toy and clothes organizing, and sitting up in Ryker's nursery. Nick hung the wall letters when he got home, with our supervision of course, and then Val and I made dinner together while Nick enjoyed a few last video game minutes. Val left soon after dinner to head back to San Marcos, and Nick and I had a quiet TV evening together.
