So last weekend Adam surprised me for my birthday present with a trip to Monterey. It was so much fun we got to walk around cannery row, see the aquarium, and just sit and watch the ocean. It's so relaxing there I wish we could go out there more often it's my favorite place to visit. It was a wonderful birthday present.
During this week it was my birthday on Wednesday so my supervisor at work decorated my desk and made me cupcakes. That night Adam, Liz, and I went out to dinner. Tonight we are going out with some of friends to Buca for some fun.

I've had better weeks
So last week was a week that pretty much meant no sleep for Adam and I due to one thing or another. But let me first go back to Saturday April 4th when we registered for the baby stuff at Target and Babies r us. At Babies r us we had found the bed room set that we wanted the crib and changing table months ago when we went in just to look around and see what they had. Last Saturday after we had registered we had decided to buy them both with the mattress. But we found out that they were discontinuing the crib we wanted, after a long discussion with a supervisor at Babies r us about how we could get the set we wanted she told us that the last shipment was coming in on April 11th. We decided that this was fine it was only one week more and we could pick it up then.
Now fast forward through the week and the issues that resulted in our lack of sleep:
Monday night - Adam sick from dinner
Tuesday night - Adam went to the kings game with my mother-in-law and came home late which resulted in me pretty much being up or only napping until he got home
Wednesday night - CATS!! and no not my adorable two cats but the six or more stray cats that are in heat and decide that our front yard is the best place to try to find a mate by yelling all night long.
Thursday night - Adam got home late from work and we did not even get dinner until 9, then I was sick from dinner.
Now Friday night was the final straw we were both exhausted from the work week which was difficult for both of us and we both had very little sleep. I called Babies r us to find out when the shipment was coming in to find out that the shipment had already come in and not only had no one called us to tell us like they said they would but they had sold all of the crib's. So I this point I was cranky and I was pissed the girl in charge of the furniture department stated that she would try to get a store to store transfer for us. I had called while I was at work so I waited and waited for a call back. I got home from work and was about to call again when my cell phone rang and it was her stating that the didn't sell the last one as the guy who came in for it stated it was the wrong one that they wanted.
So back to Folsom Adam and I went to get the crib and mattress. The changing table had to be ordered as they didn't have any in but at this point I didn't even care. Then when we got to babies r us we found out that the parts to convert the crib into a full size bed could not be ordered anymore and the only store that had them was in Dublin and they didn't want to do a store to store transfer. At this point I was done just done I just didn't care anymore, it was 7:00 at night on Friday after a bad week, I was tired and hungry and just wanted to go home. We grabbed the crib and mattress, ordered the changing table and headed over to my in-laws to store everything there.
At 8 at night we finally got settled with everything but dinner we tried 3 different places for dinner first Chinese they were almost out of food, then Mc Donalds by my in-laws they had a huge line, then the Mc Donalds by us finally success at dinner. We were home by 8:45 and finally got to eat and go to bed or so we thought of course the cats were back and all night long they were howling and then our dog would bark and we would get everything settled just go back to sleep and everything would start over again. Really I was ready to kill some cats at this point and I am a cat lover we have two cats ourselves and they are our spoiled furry children. But I am done with these cats I contacted the animal shelter the first thing Saturday morning and found out that if we rent a cat trap we can bring them in. So Saturday morning on the way to my parents to celebrate Easter we rented a cat trap and starting tomorrow while we are at work we will start to trap cats and take them to the animal shelter this will hopefully not only gain us more sleep but prevent us from have tons of stray kittens later on.
Saturday was fun we hung out with our family at my parents house for Easter and then got home late of course as it was the theme of the week. But the good news for Saturday night was that there were no cats and we were finally able to get a good nights sleep.
Easter was Sunday and Adam and I celebrated by sleeping in and doing chores around the house that needed to get done. Next year will be more exciting because we will have Tom by then.

Registering.....
So yesterday Adam and I went out to Target and Babies r us and tried to figure out what we would need for Tom. I think we did pretty well although today I am going to log on and make sure we aren't missing anything that I didn't think of at the time.
We also found out that the are going to change the style of the crib we both wanted. Babies r us stated that they are supposed to get a new shipment in on the 11th so as soon as we get that call we are off to buy the crib before it's to late.
