Kristie's Bacholette Party

Last weekend I had a bacholette party for one of my best friend's from high school. I am in her wedding in October.
It begun with a morning train ride with my other friends out to the subs of Chicago. Then we had a nice brunch and fun games. Then we headed out to the Arlington Race tracks. That was a lot of fun and I even won for race. So in the end I only walked out $4 less than when I went in. yay me!
From there we got a limo ride back into the city, thanks to her wonderful husband-to-be. A little time to rest and then off to dinner in the city. Dinner was good and the company and conversations were even better. I enjoyed sitting next to the maid of honor and sharing stories about our babies, etc. Then we went out to a bar for a bit and danced. I made it out until almost midnight! I was so proud of myself.
I had a really good time and enjoyed seeing everyone!

My poor baby... and his poor nose

Aydan has had a running nose since Sunday night... boo. The poor kid's nose is running all the time. I believe we had concluded he has an ear infection (thankfully for him and us its only his 2nd one ever), so he's on meds for that. The ear was so clogged with ear wax they couldn't tell... so every night and morning I have to torture him with ear drops to clear the ear wax, saline shot up his nose to get out the boogers etc, and tylon because he's had a fever, and benyl occ to dry up the nose. He cries like I'm torturing him... which I defintely feel like I'm doing.
But... I will say this. He has been a GREAT sport about it all and has slept good the last 2 night. The first night he was up the from 10-12 crying because couldn't sleep comfortably, and last night he didn't wake once. What a good boy. I hope it continues and that he starts feeling more like 100% soon. Hugs and kisses for my baby.

14 weeks and counting...

I am 14 weeks today. Feeling ok. I still am tired 5 of the 7 days of the week. The light-headed ness is better, but still a little bit of a problem. Otherwise things are good and about the same as normal.
It says that the baby is the size of a lemon this week. Its about 3 1/2 in long. And can now pee.. hehe, cute.
I still try talking to Aydan about it but he just point to my belly button and says BB, which is belly button... or points anywhere near my belly, like my back or side and says "baby." I still call him my baby.. so its probably all confusing! He's still being a good boy and sleep all last week without any wake ups for juice or to be re-covered. :)  He must know Mom is tired.

The picture at 14 weeks, 2 weeks later, looks to be about the same. But this is the week where I feel its really starting to look a little different...  so you'll probably notice more in 2 weeks.

Fantasy Football has begun!

Fantasy Football has begun tonight!! Let the games begin. This is my 2nd year doing it. I was in my husband's league last year and had to have a lot of help at beginning with picking team, how to do it, etc.. but in the end I made it to the championship game and WON! I bet 13 other guys.
Sooo.. this year I'm back in his league of 12 guys... the only girl in it. I picked almost all my team by myself... with help of like 3 people (out of 20). I hoping to whoop some bottom this year again! Wish me luck!

Go SpiderMonkeys!

Maternity Clothes... boo

So, my belly is sightly starting to move outwards. That makes it a little snug with the work pants. I decided I had time tonight so I went through all the 9-10 crates in the basement to find all my different clothes and many sizes, boo. I made the mistake of putting my clothes in with Aydan's old clothes and things... so it took so much longer. It is now piled in the basement on the floor and I plan for it to sit there until next week and I organize it and find somewhere to put it.. no room in my closest, none!
Added bonus to this all was that I found a bunch of stuff we bough Aydan at KB's toys right before it went out of buisness. Stuff at the time he couldn't play with at the time, but now can.. so that was cool. A few transformer cars, about 9 hot wheels car, a Spiderman watch (yes!), and various other things.

I actually have this dress above.. it probably won't come in handy because of when I'll be big this time, but it was cute.
Side note: The baby goes from 2 in to 3 in this week...  its growing and growing!

Congrats to my Baby friends

Congrats!!
Last weekend 3 of our friends had their babies. ALL boys too.
1st- it started with my friend Heather and Derek who had their boy Brayden a little early at 28 weeks. We're still praying for him everyday that he starts re-cooping better and better.
2nd- Our friend Stacy and Josh had their boy Matthew. He was an 8 lb big healthy boy.
3rd- Our friend Justin and Nicole had their boy Kyler.

A successful weekend of babies and boys! Congrats to all of them and their 1st baby and their new additional to their families and lives.

San Diego Trip

Ok, so I haven't had a post in awhile... its because Justin and I went to San Diego. What a beautiful city!! I had a blast and would love to go back there some time soon. Its a little chilly at night, but the day time weather makes it worth it. You can sit outside and its like your in comfortable air conditioning with the sun on your back, love it!
We did some fun things out there... San Diego's famous zoo- which has a wide variety of animals that is very cool, plus you get a lot of exercise touring that place. Saw 2 movies (its exciting, because I don't get to see movies at theater as often any more)- Dinner for Schmucks (very funny) and The Other Guys (funny). Went to a Padres game- I enjoyed their park very much. They have a awesome park that is very family friendly and we got great last minute seats. Did a little shopping at Horton Plaza. And ate at a lot of good restuarnts.. and the "fish and chips" was a daily favortie!  ;)
I had a great time, but of course missed Aydan and Mowgly (our yorkie). So, it was nice to come home.
