32 weeks and a Happy Birthday to ME!!!


On Sunday I reached 32 weeks! I can't believe that we only have 8 weeks left! I've started to go to the doctors every 2 weeks now. I'm also pretty sure that I've started to experience some small contractions. I wasn't sure what they were but at my doctors appointment he said that when my stomach becomes really tight it's most likely a small "practice" contraction. Sleeping at night is also becoming a little more of a challenge. Don't get me wrong, I'm still loving being pregnant but I am also very excited to have this baby out of my belly and in my arms. 


 Today was my 23rd birthday! I had a ton of fun. My mom took me to lunch with some good friends Amber, her two adorable kids, and Kristy. We went to Red Robin and I think it's become a tradition since we did the same thing last year too! We had a ton of fun. Lunch was kind of a birthday lunch for all of us since we all had a birthday within the last month so we told our waitress that we were celebrating 5 birthdays. She looked at us kind of suspicious but still brought us all a delicious ice cream! After lunch my mom spoiled me and took me to a nail salon to get a pedicure. It was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!! Usually my feet are way too ticklish but I did ok today and enjoyed it. It may have been the super comfy massage chair that I got to sit and relax in that helped. The pedicure also turned out to be way cheaper than we had expected so we decided that it may have to become a monthly thing that we do! 


Later that night Ryan and I headed over to my parents for dinner. As long as I can remember my mom has always decorated the kitchen for our birthdays. When we all lived at home she would get up super early, sometimes as early as like 4:30 in the morning, to decorate the kitchen so that when we came down for breakfast it would be the first thing we saw! She is the best mom ever!!! 

After a delicious dinner of salmon, salad and potatoes we headed out for some yummy froyo! A new place opened up a few weekends ago that is literally 2 blocks from our house. They have a delicious peanut butter froyo that is amazing when topped with delicious chocolate candies. I can already see this being a favorite stop on my summer walks. It may counter everything that I do on the walk but it is so good that I probably won't care :)
Overall, today was a great day! Thanks everyone for an 
amazing
23rd birthday!!!

Nursery Update!!!


Hello everybody!!! 

I finally got my crib set up and some blankets put in it! I was missing 5 screws for the crib so I've been driving around town everywhere trying to find the right ones. I finally decided to just get any screws that were the same size but had a different top to them. It turned out to work just fine.

 I finally got all registered at babies r us. Click here if your interested in seeing what I've registered for! Feel free to add suggestions in the comments too! Especially all you mom's out there! What did you find that you loved or wished that you had but didn't?
