What we've been up to...

I've been slacking a little in the blog department so thought I'd catch everyone up on what's been going on with us the last week or so...

Two weekends ago we went to Lawrence, KS for my cousin, Tim's wedding.  We had a blast and got to see my mom's side of the family that we don't get to see very often.  I've never been to Lawrence but it seemed like a fun college town-their downtown reminded me of "O" Street in Lincoln.  Lots of bars and stuff going on at night!

I think I might have been a little bloated because my bump seemed to really appear that weekend and then go down a little this weekend.  So strange!  It's definitely noticeable if I wear the right clothing, but it didn't feel as prominent as it did when I was in my purple dress.  Maybe that material made it appear bigger?

Did I just eat too much ice cream this weekend?!

We just started our summer league for sand volleyball at Digz.  We came THISCLOSE to winning our first game of the season!  I think we're starting to play better as a team, but I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to participate.  I'm going to try to go as long as I can, but I feel like I could easily turn into a cheerleader before the season ends...

You can kind of see a belly in this pic!

Anyway, we started this weekend off by going to the doctor Friday morning.  It was a really quick appointment-the doctor just measured my belly, and listened to the heart beat and everything looked good.  She said I'll probably start showing more in the next month and also start feeling the flutters soon!  (I think I may have felt them last night for the first time before bed...but not 100% sure yet.  It felt like a twitch in my stomach every few seconds and would come and go before I fell asleep-maybe that was just my muscles moving though?) P.S. in case you were wondering, the baby is now the size of an apple!

Friday night I met up with Josh in Benson at Beercade (Josh's team had an outing there that afternoon) then tried a new restaurant called "Lot 2".  I would give it 3/5 stars if I was a restaurant reviewer, but I'm not so this is just for you fine friends.  I think they are trying a little too hard to be a fancy/hipster joint, if that makes sense, and the food I ordered was really, really bland.  But, the appetizer (brisket with carmelized onions and gruyere cheese on baguettes) was tasty!  Josh seemed to like his fancy grilled cheese but I still think we could come up with something way better in our own kitchen! :)

After that, we were close to Jenny and Dan's so we stopped by and hung out with them and the kiddos for a while.  Josh got to be relive his childhood and play neighborhood baseball with Charlie and Ben's little friends! haha  It was really cute.  I know he's going to be an awesome dad!  He already has so much fun with other kids that I can only imagine what he will be like with ours!  (Trips to Disney World and crazy amounts of toys come to mind-or just really insane flying objects all around our house! haha)

Not the best picture I've ever taken...

Saturday we couldn't get enough of Jenny and Dan so we took them to the CWS!  We went to the 4 pm game and it was a blast!  Patty and Ed were nice enough to let us use their box seats so we had really good seats with access to the club level-always a big perk!  The only advice I have for any of you venturing down there is do NOT go to Goodnights.  Service sucked big time and our wings were disgusting.  They weren't crispy like normal wings, but broiled with soft skin that felt raw. (almost made me throw up typing that out-BARF!) Also, our pizza sauce was really sweet-not my fave.  (I sound like such a food snob, I'm just realizing, but seriously-I would go anywhere else.)  Blatt is a new bar that opened right outside of the stadium and I regret not getting their food-it looked really good!  And it's just a cool setup.  We went there before the game.  P.S. When will the NCAA allow alcohol in the stadium?!  I'm not even able to drink right now and was annoyed by this dumb rule! haha

We had a lazy Sunday and got takeout from Le Peep for Father's Day and I got Josh a new cookbook and book of quotes about becoming a dad.  All we wanted to do was just relax and not do anything so we started watching some new shows and just chilled on the couch.  Josh made some delicious Chicken Parmesan and oven roasted potatoes for dinner.  I love his cooking!

Well, that pretty much sums it up!  Until next time...
