Saturday school is NEVER going to feel right! During high school in Maryland, my little sister and I would go to Korean language/culture classes all Saturday morning. PS I was very behind for my age so as a 16 year old, I was in class with my sister’s grade (6 years my junior).
Chris and I had a childcare class for 4 hours on Saturday. Our teacher is like a funny grandma. It helps.
Afterwards we were in NEED of getting that WEEKEND feeling so we headed over to a cafe on Montana. Montana Ave. is the locals’ spot of Santa Monica for food and shopping whereas Third Street Promanade is more touristy (but still awesome).
Then we totally ordered a Pinkberry bomb of a sundae and I wanted a photo of how big I felt/looked afterwards!
In an email to a friend last night I told her that if I were in a survival situation at this point, I wouldn’t need a match for a fire because of the friction between my thighs now. TMI?
On Sunday we needed more weekend vibes so we headed over to Chris’ family’s house for pool time. I’m wearing a grandma hat, tshirt covering a bikini and doing the splits (preventing forrest fires). It felt SO good and of course we got awesome sunburns so we feel like it’s really summer now.
Charlie really looked interested in the pool so Chris gave him a little half-dip.
I’ve never seen Charlie PASS OUT in the car before but this was him on the ride home.
I’m looking for that body glide that I used when training for the half marathon a million lifetimes ago.

Christina Warren says
Lol will do! 🙂 I did live in Potomac for 11th and 12th grade! Crazy!

Yay for the pool day! It really is almost starting to feel like summer! I actually went to the beach this weekend and got to sit for a bit without freezing so I say we’re making progress towards summer. Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!!!
Christina Warren says
OH YES SUMMER! It was probably my last water activity without a child! AH! LOVED feeling weightless in there. I love YOUR water time! I put down a comment but had some trouble logging in so it came in anonymous! 🙂 East Coast summers are different and have their charms! I remember jogging around the mansions in Newport as the weather warmed up. So gorgeous and very Gatsby!

hang in there girl! you’re looking good so just work on staying cool haha. and charlie is adorable! i love when my pups pass out in the car after a day out.
Christina Warren says
Thanks, Jackie! Yes, it’s so crazy being a hot person now. I was the one wearing my Patagonia jacket in the summer. Charlie NEVER passes out in the car. It was an awesome first! We’re going to try to ease him into pool life!
Abby says
Putting out forest fires?! Oh Christina, you crack me up!! I always feel for a mom this late in the pregnancy game… I don’t know how you do it! I’m happy to hear you had such a lovely weekend with the fam. I can’t wait for our first summer swim, but it’s only 60 degrees here so it’s still waaay too cold! haha Love the pic of you and your sweet baby bump… it just gets me excited to “meet” your little guy!! xoxo
Christina Warren says
Bhahahah. Abby, I love to make fun of myself! I’m glad you get it! I’m pretty lucky as far as comfort goes. The thigh torch is all I’ve really got! 🙂 Oh and sausage fingers. 60s!!! I would love that right now! Thank you, Abby!!!!

I wish every restaurant had beautiful floral arrangements like these. Honestly, the flowers were better than the food here! LOL The atmosphere made up where the food was lacking. I can appreciate that! 🙂 Thanks!

Yeah Saturday classes just don’t feel right 🙂 When I was in elementary school my mom sent to me Chinese school on Saturdays and boy did I ever hate it. She let me quit after 3 years when she got sick of doing my homework. I was just not into it then and I had such a hard time writing with a brush. I wish I was better about it now cause them I’d be somewhat literate but at least I can speak it. Fun pics!

Christina Warren says
Oh you feel me, Rowena!!! Yes, the homework too! I also wish I was more fluent! Oh we do our best. 🙂 You are awesome for being able to speak fluently! Thank you!!!
Pamela Bannon says

Christina Warren says
It’s dropping quickly! It’s funny how the pics show the changes! 🙂 Thank you!

Oh LA is so cute! I love the Larchmont area too! 😉 Thank you so much for saying that, Nancy! I’m totally ok with looking very pregnant now. It’s kind of like a costume! ha!
Rebekah says
Aww love the picture of Charlie in the car- most of my animal pictures are when they are passed out as well. They just look so snuggly! And send that warm weather this way! We seem to be stuck in the high-60s.. Sounds like a great weekend!
Christina Warren says
Thank you, Rebekah! I kept looking back at Charlie the whole ride home! I’d gladly take some cool weather right now!
The Grits says
Girl that bump is a growin’! You look so cute and happy!! Is it not always the best when the pups just pass out from the sheer exhaustion of the awesomeness of the day?!
Christina Warren says
Thank you, Ashley! Charlie is always such an alert car-dog no matter what….that is until he had pool time!!!! I’m really excited to get him more comfortable in the water!!
withluckblog says
look at how cute you are! I’m so jealous of your nice, warm weather. Today I had to wear a light jacket into work and I was still cold on the walk! hahah to Charlie on the way home. I love when Allegra passes out like that. It’s a sign of a good day!

Thank you, Jenn!! I’ve got to go on walks early so I don’t pass out from the heat! 🙂 It was SUCH a great day for Charlie. He got to see the two other family dogs too (one’s a Burmese Mountain dog and the other is a Golden). They LOVE him!!! He’s so lucky!!
