San Francisco Weekend

As Carrie's due date gets closer and closer, our vacation getaways get closer and closer to home so that we can be near our home hospital. With just about four weeks left, we spent this weekend in San Francisco to enjoy some of the joys of the city. We had brunch with friends at Luce, got massages, had afternoon tea at the Palace Hotel, enjoyed some shopping in Union Square, and had a sumptuous dinner at Postrio. One of the more pleasant surprises, however, was the Intercontinental Hotel, where we stayed. It just opened in February in SoMa and is beautiful. Because of the promotional special rate, we were able to stay on the club level 32nd floor with stunning views of the city. With the club level, we also had access to the club lounge. The picture is of Carrie watching the Bay to Breakers crowd on Howard Street pass by below as we enjoy a free breakfast in the club lounge.

The Baby's Getting Big

Carrie had a doctor's appointment today and they did an ultrasound just to make sure that everything was going well with the baby. The picture is a little grainy and it's a little tricky to make everything out, but they're estimating Sparkle at about 7 pounds right now. With a little over a month to go, it looks like she's going to be a pretty big baby!
