It was a great weekend for me, spent with some of my very best friends. Emilie, Sapna and I met in college, they were both bridesmaids in my wedding, and we have stayed close friends ever since. Emilie lives in Cincinnati with her Husband Kevin and new 3 month old adorable baby Abby. Sapna lives in Connecticut and is quite the traveler, squeezing in time to travel to see her boyfriend Charlie. Sapna was able to fly into Cincinnati this weekend to meet baby Abby and see Emilie, and I drove down to spend time with all three of them!
We took Abby to the zoo Saturday afternoon, which was delightful. Then we went to dinner at a delicious tappas restaurant where the girls surprised me by bringing a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne to the restaurant! Aren't they so thoughtful!? I was touched that they would think to do that. All this water drinking while everyone else is fun drinking is getting old! :) After dinner we went to a bar so Emilie could enjoy her first "night out" after having Abby. We had a blast together and as you can imagine we stayed up until the wee hours of the morning having girl chat like old times. Oh I also got many baby lessons from wonderful mom Emilie :) It was so fun being around baby Abby. Not only is she so cute and expressive and such a good baby, she made me even more excited for our little "Peanut" to arrive!
Sunday morning we went to Findley Market, which is kind of like a famers market but on a bigger scale and not just produce. I got lots of fruit (for those cravings!) and also got to breifly see one of my other best college pals Becky! All in all it was a wonderful weekend and warmed my heart to be with such good friends.
While I was gone, Ryan made some good progress on the basement. We are working to finish it so one of the rooms upstairs can be the nursery! I'm lucky he's such a handy guy and is willing to work so hard for us :)
Ok, on to the baby update. We are now in our 12th week. The baby is about the size of a lime now and is almost 2 inches long! I don't quite have a baby bump yet, but am definitely losing my waistline! I'm still counting my lucky stars that I haven't gotten sick. I guess I'm probably in the clear now. My constant hunger has died down a little bit, thank goodness, and I'm getting a little more energy back. I'm thinking that maybe I should start shopping for maternity clothes? Not sure if it's too early or when I'll start needing them!
Sorry the baby update was kind of brief, but I'm not sure what else there is to update you on! If you have questions, feel free to ask. Hope you all have a wonderful week! :)

P.S. Fellow bloggers...how do I get my pictures to show up at the bottom of my post instead of at the top? Can't figure that one out!
Have you used the Bella Band yet? (That's my question for the day.) Yay for new blog posts!
ReplyDeleteLuv, your loyal fan
Oh yes Rach I wore it last week out to dinner with Ryan! I wrote that in your thank you note which you must not have gotten yet :)
ReplyDeleteI love it...I was able to wear my regular jeans but they were a lot more comfortable thanks to the Bella Band. Thank you!!
It was such a lovely weekend! Thanks for coming down!
ReplyDeleteAs for the blogging question...
When you insert pictures, blogger automatically places them at the top. Just cut the code and paste it at the bottom of your text entry. Preview it to make sure it works before you publish the post :)
Loves!
see you later tater... and peanut! you are becoming a regular produce dept.! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYAY for seeing my ladies! I feel so loved that I was a part of your Blog! Keep up the blogging:)
ReplyDeleteSomeone already answered your question...but...I just drag and drop my pictures to where I want them to go (I don't use the HTML display when setting up my posts...) Sounds like you had a fun weekend! Can't wait to see you guys.
