You have nine months of pregnancy to prepare yourself for a baby. 5 baby books..check, 2 gallons of paint and nursery gear..check, diapers, pacifiers and millions of frilly things..check,check check.

Oh My…the Lima family was about the only HOT thing on the beach yesterday.. We decided to for go the crowds of people and endure the sub-zero temperatures of Santa Cruz before 10am.
