18 Weeks and basking in the glow


This past week we were able to bask in the glow of KU winning...oh and the fact that there is that pregnancy glow I keep hearing about. The week was crazy getting ready for the youth retreat this weekend our band played at. The retreat was exactly what we needed, once we got there. The kids were great! We really enjoyed having time away from our daily grind and focusing on many other wonderful things. While we were up at the ranch, Frontier Ranch, we had to buy something to mark the occasion. This is the same ranch that Adam and I, with many of our life long friends, spent a lot of our high school time at. There are so many memories that this facility brings back and this time I was even able to bunk with Amber & Treese. It is really hard to get us together and keep a straight face. The photo attached is what we bought. This is such a fun animal and actually close to the colors we are going to paint the nursery. The orange is still up in the air.

The baby did give me a little direction this weekend on when to eat, what not to eat, and when I needed to relax. A growing Sweet P did make singing a bit harder. As the baby was stretching out in the belly my breathing was a little more strained...and it is only going to get harder.

There might not be a post next week because I am going to a work meeting in Seattle Monday - Thursday. Most of the ladies I have talked to have said they don't think I have popped out, though I might disagree with them. Either way, I am glad that this trip is coming early in the pregnancy. I am not looking forward to the three hour bowling event we are going to be participating in. Just what a pregnant woman wants to do: throw a 10lb ball down a lane to show off the ever growing backside to her co-workers that can drink beer while she enjoys her non-alcoholic drink. YEAH!

Wishing you a wonderful week. Adam and I are going to enjoy our warm weather here by taking Brandy for a few walks; it does a body, baby, and dog good!
