Week 21

Week 20

We are half way there!! 20 weeks down...20 to go!

Light fixture

We knew we wanted something fun for the light in the baby room.  We found this awesome candle holder and Drew worked his magic and turned it into a light fixture!

Baby's room

My mom came for a visit and we got so much done with the baby's room.  We spent one day shopping with Drew's mom, Barb, and we got so much ordered for the room.  We are so grateful to have such excited new Grandma's!!  Thanks to my mom and Barb for making this baby's room so amazing!!

Drew spent the weekend painting and it looks so good!!  Here are some progress pictures. The colors are teal, gray and orange and the fabric will have cars on it.  I love everything!!!

The room is coming together so well! My next post will be on the unique light fixture we created!

Tubac, Arizona

We were so excited to be invited to my friend Megan's wedding at the Tubac Golf Resort and Spa in Arizona!  It was so nice to see some old college friends and catch up. It is so funny that most of them now have kids and our conversations revolved around parenting tips and suggestions.  Our lives have changed so much since the good old college days and I'm glad that each one of these friends are happy!

Traveling to AZ was a little bit hectic!  Drew's brother Brad is a pilot, so we used his guest passes (which basically saved us the price of one ticket). The problem with using the guest passes is that we are flying standby and only get a seat if there is room on the plane.  We checked the flight leaving Indy going to Phoenix and saw that there were no open seats that morning!  We quickly changed our plans and drove to Cincinnati (which is about a 2 hour drive) to get on a flight that had plenty of seats open.  The flights from Cincinnati are not direct so we flew to Charlotte, North Carolina and then to Phoenix.  After arriving in Phoenix we then drove 2 hours to the resort. 

After a long day of travel on Thursday we arrived safely and headed out to the rehearsal dinner.  Megan was so nice to invite all out of town guests to the dinner.  It was at a cute little bistro in the artist town of Tubac.

Friday morning we woke up and headed to breakfast.  The restaurant that was on the resort had huge windows overlooking the golf course and we saw steer and cows wandering right by the greens!

After breakfast we headed right to the pool! Friday night was the wedding and Megan looked stunning!  The ceremony was at the chapel on the resort and the building was amazing.  Old wood doors and Spanish style architecture.  Beautiful!

The cocktail hour and reception were outside overlooking the golf course.  The atmosphere was so fun and decorations were so cute!!  It was nice to see mountains in the distance instead of the flat land of Indiana!

Jenn, Lauren, Teresa, Angela and me!

Best reception food ever!  Fajita bar and enchiladas...yummy!

All the Theta's on the dance floor

I need to keep dancing so this baby boy will have some rhythm

 We had such a great weekend and are excited to travel as much as possible before this baby comes into our lives!!

It's a BOY!!

I am a little behind on posting week 18 because we were on vacation last week!  We went to Tubac, Arizona for my friend Megan's wedding.  It was such a fun weekend and great to see some old friends.  Other than being really tired on my first day back to work, traveling while pregnant was uneventful!  I made sure to have a few snacks for the plane ride just in case!

We had an ultrasound last week and found out that it's a BOY!  He is going to be the most stylish boy on the block.  We are so excited to have a son and I can't wait to see what a mother/son relationship is like!

Spring is here!

One of the coolest parts about moving into a new house in the fall, is waiting to see what random flowers pop up in spring!  The previous owners were a little bit crazy with the spring flowers that only last a few weeks, but our yard is beautiful right now!!

The deer are in the background of this picture, and you can see all the flowers sprouting up in the middle of the yard.  Happy Spring!!

Week 17

It seems like the weeks are flying by!  I have been feeling so much better!

Week 16

We had a doctors appointment this week and everything went great.  We heard the heartbeat again and it was around 145 beats/minute.  We got a tour of the birthing area of St. Vincent's Women's Hospital and it was so cool to see where we will be delivering. The hospital is so nice and we even ate at the cafeteria to try out the food!  It was actually good!  :)  The bump is growing!

Week 15

This week I had my first issue with "pregnancy brain."  All my friends said that when they were pregnant they forgot things easily and did weird things.  We have a bucket of food for Penny that has a measuring cup that stays in it.  I fed Penny dinner and when I went to feed her breakfast the next morning the measuring cup was missing!  It was 6:00 in the morning so I didn't take much time to look for it before going back to sleep, but I didn't see it on the counters or the floor by the food bucket.  I had no recollection of where I put the crazy measuring cup!  I clearly remember giving Penny food at night, but after the food went in the bowl my mind was blank.  I have no clue what I did after I fed Penny...haha!  When Drew got home from work he looked for the measuring cup and found it in the trash!!! Why would I throw it away?  So weird!!
