Nebraska Baby Shower!

So my the last item on my "to-do" list in Nebraska was to attend my baby shower. It was at my mom and dad's and we had a great time. Rachel and Michaela hosted it, but unfortunately Michaela wasn't there due to her soccer game. I was able to see a lot of my family and friends, which meant a lot to me, because I really don't know the next time I'll be back in Nebraska. So I guess that means everyone gets to visit me now! haha. Everyone was very generous with their gifts and I only had to pack one extra suitcase full of gifts back home with me! We played some games and ate some great food. Here are a few pic from my camera, Rachel has more on her camera from the shower, mine were just before anyone got there!

Diaper cake, made by...I wonder who?

Rubber duckies!

Lindsay and Nate's wedding

Part of the reason I was back in Nebraska was for Lindsay's wedding. It was so nice that everything was in Plattsmouth, so I enjoyed the maximum 5 minute drive to where ever the heck I was going! Much different than my 40-50 minute commute each day!! It was great to see everyone again, and even was able to catch up with some grade school friends that I haven't seen in a while! My favorite part of the evening was when Kellie's fiance Brent auctioned off the garter. He is an auctioneer and I've never heard him before. it was pretty amazing! The bride was beautiful and the groom handsome. It's crazy to think that almost all of my friends are now married! Especially since I was the first one, oh so many years ago...not really, just 2.5. haha. Here are some pics from the day--I chose to do everything in black and white, just to mix it up a bit:

Hair is all done!

Golfing with Austin

My first day back in Nebraska, I was able to kick back, relax and go golfing with my brother. We played the Plattsmouth Country Club, and had a good time!

New Movements and our (last) trip to Nebraska--for a while at least

So BBA's newest movement has been slightly annoying. He will take whatever body part (I still can't figure out what is what) I'm assuming it's his butt or head or something, and he'll stretch it out and then hold it there. So I'll have a hard spot on my tummy for about 5 seconds. It's really kind of funny when I feel it. It makes me laugh and wonder what the heck is really going on in there! I am also leaving for NE today for Lindsay and Nate's wedding. This will sadly be my last trip to NE for quite a while, as BBA will put a damper on our traveling for the next year or so. I'm very excited to see everyone and it will for sure be an exhausting weekend! Rehearsal dinner and decorating Friday, Wedding Saturday and Baby Shower on Sunday! Aye yi yi! Thank goodness i decided to take Monday off too! Unfortunately Bruce won't be able to make the trip with us. He's pretty bummed that we're leaving him, especially since I'm taking the kid with me! haha. He said that I could just leave the kid with him because Friday is "Take Your Premature Child to Work Day." Wow. Did he really just say that? Yes, yes he did. Funny yet wrong at the same time. Good Ol' Bruce, never ceases to amaze me! Well more posting will for sure take place next week after I recover from all of the festivities!

The Crib!

We got the crib the other day and it's all ready to go!

Busy Busy Doctor Appointment

Last Thursday I had my monthly check up. I had my 1 hour glucose test. This is a "fun" test. Just kidding. I had to show up about 30 minutes early to drink this sugary orange substance. I was warned that it might be terrible. But it tasted like a flat Orange Fanta. I had to drink that in 5 minutes. Piece of cake. Then I had to sit and wait until I had my actual appointment. AND I couldn't drink anything! I was getting pretty thirsty. So Bruce shows up and they call my name to take me in. Everything is normal, measuring right on target. Now we just have to register for a hospital tour and birthing classes! Yay! And before the doc let me go, she was like oh by the way, we're going to do your RhoGAM shot today too! Wha-What? unexpected shot? Not cool doc. Not cool. So I had to go back and sit to wait to get my blood drawn from my glucose test and they also pulled 2 other viles of blood as well. Then I had to go back and wait about 15 more minutes before someone could give me my RhoGAM shot. That kind of hurt! It went into my hip and it was really thick and they had to go slow. Not fun, and guess what? I get to do it again when the baby comes! So I got my results back on Friday afternoon. Glucose test was normal--no gestational diabetes!! Thank goodness! I don't think I would be able to get rid of the sweets! My iron levels were low though. Lower than they were in the beginning! So now I have to "up" my dosage to 3x a day instead of 2x. Not a big deal, but this kid is seriously sucking everything out of me! haha. I'm getting ready to head to Nebraska in 9 days for Lindsay's wedding and my baby shower! I can't wait to catch up with my few friends that still live there!

The First Cardinals HOME Game of the Season

This was actually quite a few weeks ago, but just now adding pics. We went with our good friends Jamie and Andy. Bruce and Andy work together so Jamie and I have become really close. It was a good time, even though no drinking for me :(
