Ellen and LA!

Wow! What an awesome weekend! We (mom and I) arrived in LA late Wednesday night. Thursday morning we ordered room service and got ready for the Ellen Show. Once we were ready we headed over to Kerry's hotel where our moms met and we caught up.

Kerry and I then headed to the Ellen Show and our moms went off on their own adventure. We got to the Ellen Show just on time! We checked in and were given numbers 57 and 58 out of 200ish!
We then waited until our numbers were called and we were led across the street to Ellen's studio! We went through security and were shown to our seats. We got perfect seats, as they were looking for 2 people to fill 2 empty seats in the 3rd row on the aisle! The show was awesome and we were given incredible things. Best of all we got 2 of everything seeing as we are both expecting twins! We got strollers, high chairs/booster chairs, Shrinkxhips (to shape up after birth), angora booties, swaddlers, sleepers, bottles, sippy cups, pacifiers, video monitors, burp cloths/bibs, organic baby bjorns, security blankets, bathtubs, bathing products, a diaper bag, a mother/child necklace, Ellen onesies, 6 months of diapers and more! After the taping we had to drive (rather our driver drove) through the parking lot so that they could load things up! We then headed back to the hotel and checked out all of our stuff with our moms!
After that we headed to the UPS store to ship things home. And to top the night off we went to dinner at the Granville Cafe, which was amazing! It was a great day full of fun and it was wonderful to see Kerry and her belly!

Mom and I spent Friday and Saturday exploring LA. We went on the Warner Bros. Tour, Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Hollywood Sign, Rodeo Drive, Sprinkle Cupcakes, Downtown Burbank, and Santa Monica Pier.

  1. I'm so happy for you both! I didn't know Kerry was expecting twins also. Sounds like a blast and I'm sure it was extra nice that your mom got to be with you. See you in 11 days!

  3. What an amazing trip! You'll have to take a photo of all of your goodies once it is at home and unpacked! I'm so happy for you that you got a great trip with your mom before the babies were born - you deserve it. Lucky girl! :)
