Today I woke up very pregnant and tired. Isabella crawled into bed to snuggle at 7am and I felt like saying "can't I get another 5 hrs?" Anyway, we got up, showered, ate, and then I left her with John while I practiced yoga. I was too tired to do much, so I mostly meditated on how thankful I am for all I have in my life.
After that, I used my new amazing VitaMix Super 5200 (best appliance ever, thanks for the indulgent bday present, John) to make my daily fresh smoothie with kale, beet, carrot, apple, and blueberries. Yum! Isabella bumbled around the kitchen, occasionally kissing my belly and saying "I kissed the baby!"
John got out of the shower and started gathering his things for work. Isabella ran over to him before he left and brought him a toy fork lift. She said "You can play with this while you are at work, Dada, and then you can bring it home." This was a very sweet gesture on her part, as she was indicating that she wanted to share her prized possessions with John, which is pretty big for a 3yr old.
Next, Isabella and I took the bus downtown to wander around. Isabella LOVES taking the bus, which is good because I'm getting too tired to push the stroller 2mi each way to the market, and I hate the idea of driving in the city (as I prefer to be green). We walked around hand-in-hand, sat by the fountain near Westlake Center for a bit, ate clam strips and clam chowder at Lowell's in the market for lunch, topped it off with doughnuts from the most amazing fresh doughnuts spot at the market, and then took the bus home.
Once home, Isabella asked to take a bath. She has gotten really into playing in the bathtub, taking a 60-90min bath every day. I filled up the bath and she began to play with her bath toys, singing "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star" to herself and to the toy fishies in the tub. After a while she asked me to get in with her, so I got in the tub and soaked for a good hour while she splashed around. Very very relaxing.

Around 4pm, her buddy Kai came over. Kai is the son of our friends Ryan and Maja. He is just 2mo older than Izzy and they have been playing together since they were born. When Kai first arrived he said that he wanted me to read some books, so each of them cuddled under one arm while I read about 8 different childrens books. Honestly, there is nothing cozier than having each arm around a little kid. It almost made me want twins (but not really ;). Next we went upstairs to the yoga studio. Kai and Izzy LOVE playing in my yoga studio... it's like their own personal gymnasium. See below for pics of them doing yoga, creating abstract art with my yoga props, and swinging (on the yoga rope suspension equipment).
It doesn't get much sweeter than this.
