just getting away on a short flight to San Diego for a few days with my BFF may have been sufficient to carve a smile onto my deal with for a week. add to that the generosity of blog writers as well as strangers (and a few generous vendors) to a 35-weeks expecting chick, as well as it was an outstanding experience.
Highlights:
Waking around 4am, we flew in someday early to go to pre-conference events. I went to a Sony cam experience day called #PhotoFunMom, It included a new CyberShot WX9; directions on exactly how to utilize it; full makeover; some decadent health club treatments (Hello, parafin foot booties!); a guided stroll around the marina, as well as a picture shoot from star professional photographer Brian Smith. It was such a treat.

I returned to my roommates, Whitney as well as Wendy, all glammed up as well as I kinda felt like I was set for the whole conference”¦ as well as then”¦
Ready for mad guy themed celebration
What 30 minutes of makeup will do to me
Then I won an iPad at the #OCBloggerBash raffle to benefit assist a mom Out. Wow. thanks ywater for new toy.
Following the drinking-for-diapers party, Whitney as well as I headed over to the creative women rock star party. I squished myself into skinny pregnancy denim as well as used a sparkly tube top she had brought along just in case. We danced with Madonna as well as woman GaGa impersonators up until our feet were begging for mercy (or was that just me?).
Yes, I lastly altered out of that dress!
As of seminar Eve, I couldn’t envision it getting much better. This BlogHer was large — between 2600 as well as 3100 attendees– as well as being in a sprawling expo center, I felt every step of the bigness (or was I just feeling my own bigness? hmmm). Do you see the size of this lunch space? Dang.
Jane as well as I are due around the exact same time with third babies
Just after this stripey stomach picture op, there was a Flash Mob at lunch! Can you area me at the end of this video trying to get a much better look?
Being in my third trimester, the saddest part of my weekend was most likely that I had to admit that I just wasn’t up for everything. Anything that needed as well much walking was ruled out. as well as after a Friday full of as well much walking as well as talking, I had to avoid my preferred party. appears like they had a fabulous, unicorn-butt-eating time without me:
Having missed Sparklecorn, I made myself shake my booty at the CheeseBurgHer party. as well as I’m so glad. I used some awful supportive shoes as well as danced around up until after 11pm.

I assumption there’s always next year. My mind is already racing toward whether as well as exactly how I can join BlogHer12 in NYC. will I force my whole household to take a holiday to new york like last year? will I come alone? just me as well as the baby? Of course, it’s as well soon to know, I haven’t even satisfied the bit person yet.
