Crazy weekend.... I hate the car!!!

We had a very busy weekend...ok so it was mostly saturday, but that is a lot for me!!!

Friday was a low key night with Phillip and Dita, carry-out Indian while listening to the airplanes fly by (too lazy to go outside and see if we could see anything) Wasn't a late night as I was ready for my comfy spot on the couch and comfy clothes...

I knew Saturday was going to be busy, so I tried to take it as easy as I could in the morning. Ron took me out for breakfast before a quick Home Depot trip. The afternoon was spend in Michigan City, IN for a work bbq/house warming for Ron's work, this drive was a little over an hour!!! We had a great time visiting and people even sat inside with me (close to the food of course) Upon our return to the city I had to rest for a bit, literally only a bit as we had to go to Highland Park for Ally's engagement shower (another 40 mins on the road!!!) Beautiful party at a beautiful house. It was great to see everyone!! The wedding will be amazing! Ron was well behaved and able to drive home, which was great as many times the pregant wife is the DD and I was in no shape to be driving

Luckily we were able to take it easy on Sunday... I had the best nap I think I have ever taken while Ron went to a movie.

Next weekend looks just as crazy... Ouest Anniversary Party friday, Cheryl B-day saturday and my shower sunday (plus Mike's B-day sunday) Guess we better get it all in while we can!!! Will try to post some pics next week...

Week 33

Busy weekend!!! Mom and dad came for a visit. Friday morning mom went to the dr with me and got a good idea where she will need to go when she makes her mad dash to the city when the time comes! I told her that when I pack my hospital bag that she may want to bag her over night bag so she is ready at a moment notice. I scheduled all of my remaining appointments, only 6 more to go!!!

We then meet up with the boys for the Cub/Cardinal game (thanks for the tickets Papa!!) I drank my water while the rest enjoyed their Bub Lights! In the middle of the 8th inning all the sudden we here a young woman hyperventilating and all eyes turned her way only to discover her boyfriend down on one knee... a wedding proposal in the 8th inning on 08-08-8!!

Later that night we got word the Baby Mecum made her appearance at 10:18 pm on 08-08-08 (great birthday!!) Mom and baby Olivia are now home and we are going for a visit tonight! Can't wait to meet Baby Swan newest playmate!!

Sunday afternoon we drove to Bloomington so Cheryl could paint her pictures for the baby's room. We had a nice visit and also got to visit a few siblings as well... Baby Garrett is getting big, my they grow so fast!

Welcome Baby Olivia!!

Baby Swan has another playmate!!! Baby Olivia arrived on 08-08-08!!! What a great birthday! (and easy to remember!)

Ron and I went to visit the new family and got a chance to hold the baby (not an easy task with a big o belly!!) Ryan and Natalie look great. I can not wait for all the playdates to start!!

We also found out the so far we are 5 for 5.... all girls!!! Christy and Kristie are both expecting girls!!! Should make for some great drama in the future...GIRLS!!!

Week 32

Had my Chicago shower over the weekend. It was great to everyone and catch up. Thanks for all the great gifts girls!!! (and the cake was yummy too!!) Can't wait to start using them all

Was thinking about the things I miss since being pregnant... A few of them are:
-Bending over... you don't realize how much bending you do till you can't do it anymore
-Sushi, this WILL be my first restaurant visit post baby!!!! Bob Sans here I come!!
-Ice cold Corona!!! 'nough said!!
-Sleeping with my husband... due to all the excess pillows, constant flipping and numerous bathroom trips, Ron refuses to sleep in the same room as me
-Walking a normal pace... senior citizens pass me when walking, poor Ron, Mr. Speed Walker has been really great not leaving me in his dust
-Going up/down the stairs without getting out of breath
-Making a fist... got to love pregnancy induced carpal tunnel!

There are a few great things about being pregnant too.... people will give you there seat in various locations, eating ice cream regularly because you need A LOT of calcium, making your husband bring you any and everything because getting up from the couch takes 5 minutes!, and holding our little girl in a few short weeks!!!

Cubs Game

Made it to my first Cubs game this year (Ron's 18th and counting!) with the Feit cousins. All had a good time:

I did well in the heat and didn't complain too much (My only request was for more ice, which apparently you have to buy a bottle of water to get, which I had already purchased...ugh!!)

Baby Laila arrived over the weekend as well. I stopped by the hospital to get Ulla and walking in the Maternity ward was a little surreal...makes me want Sept to get here in a hurry, yet Oct is sounding better and better... Mecum's, your up next!!!

We drove down and spent the afternoon with Cheryl on Wed... still waiting for my painting!!! We had a nice dinner then went out for icecream!!!

On tap for this weekend: Shower in Chicago with the girls and may see Dark Knight with Ron.
