38 Weeks


Just a brief post about the latest happenings at the Booker household. Good news is that since the economy is so crappy, our new business is having its best month ever! Its going so great! Quiznos is still hanging in there as well.
Bad news is I was put on bed rest on Tuesday. I was 38 weeks pregnant yesterday so just two more weeks until my due date. My blood pressure (which most of you know was high and I was medicated prior to pregnancy) has corrected itself during this time but finally started to climb. I am and have been being seen in the high risk department at Johns Hopkins so they are taking extra precautions with me and put me on the rest. I did ask how strict this rest was and they told me I could go out to dinner once a week and just to avoid going up and down the stairs 700 times, which is hard in a little row house with 3 levels. They also want me laying around a lot on my left side. GOOD TIMES! Soon I might have a hole in my left hip! OH well, maybe she will make her appearance early so I won't have to do this for a full 2-3 weeks. Price and I decided to use our 1 dinner last night since it was Halloween and in the city Halloween brings on some cuties and some scaries, for real scaries. So...off to our favorite Thai restaurant. Its BYOB so Price brought the rest of a bottle of wine and enjoyed that. It was a nice evening. Just wanted to update the latest and greatest of the Booker happenings.

37 weeks!




So here we are! The home stretch. Just 3 more weeks to go from today until my due date! I made it to the 4 home Redskins games that I had planned. That was my goal. I have posted a few pics from my last game. We went out with a bang and a stellar tailgate! I will miss all of my tailgating buddies for the rest of the season! I will be back next year with Baby Booker in the Baby Bjorn and her lap pass. She will be ready! Other than that we have been super busy with other baby showers, getting the house totally ready, etc. I think we are as ready as we will be and she can arrive at any time. I would LIKE her to wait a few weeks so keep your fingers crossed. As Price says, "I want her to marinate some more".

Beach Weekend


2 Pregos and dogs , Alyssa and I , Price and Chris

Since my shower we have been staying as busy as ever which is making the time before Baby's arrival fly! This coming Friday I will be 35 weeks along and don't have much free time left. Pretty crazy! I feel like the pregnancy went so quickly and for the most part I have had a great experience. I am not sleeping to save my life now, but guess preparing my body for what is to come which is LACK OF SLEEP!! We had a FABULOUS weekend at Rehoboth October 3-6th. It was sidewalk sale weekend which is my favorite of the year. They also did the first annual Oktoberfest. The weather was gorgeous and we did lots of shopping, eating, football watching, dog playing, etc. Chris and Alyssa came with us and brought Kali's boyfriend Murphy. The two dogs had a fabulous time together and were both exhausted and depressed on Monday. Here are a few pics from the weekend.

Baby Shower


The Diaper cake and college roomies, missing Al of course because she is in Australia!

Me and Alyssa at Redskins game. Hard to find maternity Skins' gear.

My friends and family threw me a wonderful beach themed baby shower last weekend and it was phenomenal. It couldn't have been a more perfect day! Baby Booker is one lucky girl and has more clothes, books, and "stuff" than she will ever need...OR..we will change her clothes 4 times a day and make sure that everyone gets to see all of her cute clothes. She also went to her first home Redskins game on Sunday with her soon to be Baby Clopton boyfriend close beside in his mommy's belly too. What a great action packed weekend! We were exhausted on Sunday night into Monday but it was all worth it!

Some pictures from 29-31 weeks.


29 weeks ...... 31 weeks What a difference!

Sunset behind mom and day, sunrise the next am.

Laura and I

We spend Labor Day weekend at the beach and had a fabulous time! We went out to a wonderful dinner for our 5 year anniversary at Venus on the Half Shell in Dewey beach. The sunset was just amazing. Baby is making it very difficult for me to get a good nights rest these days so Kali and I have been getting up very early and bonding as well as catching some awesome sunrises.

Sailing in Annapolis

Hiking in Canada

We are still enjoying our time before baby and trying to make the most of it. Two weekends ago we went out sailing on one of our clients 47 foot sailboats out of Annapolis. It was amazing! Perfect weather and gorgeous boat. I left that Sunday morning for Mt. Tremblant Canada for a huge meeting that I planned. Here are a few pics from both places. My belly is getting huge!
