These are the questions those of you who are not local have asked me over the past few weeks, and I have struggled to answer them... it's kind of subjective.
So I leave you this evidence:
Three people offered me their respective seats on the metro this morning, despite me being bundled up in a winter jacket
(I guess that answers that question!)

Add'l Pics from Oliver & Alanna's Wedding
I got to take a picture with the groom (thanks to Oliver for passing this along)!
And here's one of me (sans shawl - the hot flashes are back!) and Dan that our friend Missy took.

Oliver & Alanna Got Hitched!
So we spent last weekend in not-so-sunny or warm northern California. The wedding was in Santa Cruz on Sunday. We then spent Monday day/night in San Francisco, having fabulous dim sum for dinner and finally seeing the movie, Frost/Nixon - the combination of the two made for a great date night. We highly recommend the movie and the dim sum.
But I digress... we were there for Oliver and Alanna's wedding, which was a lot of fun. Most importantly, they had a blast. They also made it into the NYT's wedding announcements. See some pics below.
Back to life, back to reality this weekend where we have made real progress on getting the babe's room in order. We have sold our futon and are zeroing in on paint colors and the like. Stay tuned for an update soon.

Our Visit with One of Baby Z's Friends
Baby Z has no idea how many friends he already has (even if he still is in utero)!
This past weekend, we went to visit Carter - one half of Chris & Ashley's twins who you've all heard about. Alanna, the female half, is hopefully coming home later this week.
Anyway, it was great to see Carter at home (after 2 visits at the hospital) AND we got to hold him. It was lots of fun!
Chrissie gets a turn first (after he FINALLY woke up!)....
And then Dan!
Dan got to hold him for awhile, but then Chrissie got tired and hungry so we had to leave.

By Popular Demand
Despite having pledged not to fall victim to the infamous belly shot, the moms (grand-moms, actually) have spoken. So, we're posting a belly shot. Don't get used to it though, this will not become a regular habit. As of today, baby JZ is 25 weeks EGA (estimated gestational age). And the mama to be is starting to show it (though proud to say only 18 pounds heavier!). So enjoy the shot below.
In other news, we are making progress on all the various "to-dos" that need to be accomplished in the next 15 weeks. We have put up all new wood work in what will be the baby's room, have an electrician (hopefully) coming this week to put in an overhead light, and have even registered for all the things the little one will "need" when he enters the world.
We're taking next weekend off from baby prep as we journey to California for Oliver and Alanna's wedding in what should be Chrissie's last plane ride for the foreseeable future. Look for pics late in the month as we are close to picking a crib, colors, and have pretty much finalized the "theme" of the room.
