Weekend

We had a fun, filled pact weekend - pool days, Jersey Boys, Lobster boil and family time. Here is the weekend through pictures.
We had a pool day on Friday with my girlfriends. Grace came in town Thursday night. Grace & Brayden (my friend Cassandra's son)who are two weeks apart in age, had too much fun running around together:)


Vincent loves to swim and 'life guard' the little ones


Grace loved the water

Jersey Boys
Friday night, Mark & Elizabeth drove in town so the six of us went to dinner at Creation Cafe on the canal then off to see the show Jersey Boys. It was an amazing performance and definitely a must see.



Art Fair
Saturday we bared the heat and humidity to attend the Talbott Street Art fair - at least we had lemonade to cool us off.


Lobster Boil
Saturday night we joined our neighbors for the 4th annual progressive dinner. This year our theme was "A night in the Hamptons" and we had a lobster boil. The lobsters were flown in from the east coast - they were huge! We had a fantastic night and feel so fortunate to have such amazing, fun neighbors.

Molly's baby shower

Funny how much life has changed from last year - last Summer was filled with weddings and this year it's baby showers. Oh, how we grow up. Here are a few pics from Molly's baby shower.

A few weeks ago we joined the DeWitt girls for lunch - we had a great time catching up with one another.

Nursery Update

Last week Greg finished painting the nursery and it looks great - he did a wonderful job! Now we're just waiting for the furniture to be delivered to complete our project.

24 Weeks

Yesterday I met with Dr. Meltzer for my 24 week appointment. Surprisingly I am measuring 25 -26 weeks! I was shocked, especially since I thought I was 1-2 weeks behind schedule. According to the book "What to Expect", this week Anna is the size of an eggplant- approximately 1.7 lbs and 9 in long. Also, my booked stated I should look like I am carrying a soccer ball as well as a kicker inside. I voiced my concerns to the MD about having a much smaller (or lack there of) baby bump and not feeling the baby move very often. Just to reassure me, he has planned a 28 week ultrasound to check measurement as well as my amniotic fluid. It will be a busy appointment next month - at 28 weeks I will also have my glucose test and RhoGam shot (yikes!).

Memorial Day Weekend

Greg & I ended up having a wonderful memorial day weekend spending time with family, friends and eachother:) Greg & the boys had way too much fun attending the Indy 500 while the preggo girls decided to have a get-a-way to the lake. It was a relaxing time where we were spoiled with yummy breakfasts (thanks to Mama Cass) and boat rides and a delicious tenderloin dinner (thanks to Denny Barrett). We ended the weekend having a cookout/pool day at Mom & Dad's - a perfect family day!

Greg & I

Almost 6 months :)

I can't believe I am almost 6 months pregnant - time is flying by! I have to say I have been very fortunate with this pregnancy thus far - feeling great and enjoying every minute of it. Greg actually just felt Anna move the other day - her movement is very sporadic and feels like she is flipping and doing sommersaults in my belly. The best time to feel her movement is when I am resting and laying down. It is an amazing feeling and I love having that connection with her. As for other changes that I am noticing this past month, my uterus is continuously moving up and my baby bump is starting to form. I've been unable to run this past week due to uncomfortable pressure and may have to move onto another form of exercise. Fortunately my parents just opened their pool for the season, I have a feeling I'll be spending majority of my time there - especially if it's this hot all Summer long.

Greg & I have been taking full advantage of the beautiful weather this past week with having friends over for cookouts, pool days and working in the garden. Looking forward to a nice, relaxing Summer. We've also continued working on the nursery - furniture is ordered, registering is complete - I just can't wait to pull it all together. Greg also surprised me with our stroller I was hoping for this past week -ahh, the little things that make me happy:)

For this memorial day weekend - I am off for a girls weekend at the Barretts lake while Greg & the boys attend the Indy 500 and festivities. I'll be sure to update once I see the MD for my 24 week appt next Wednesday.

Busy Week

What a fun week! I am so happy Grandma Hone is visiting Indy this week. On Tuesday I had to work but came home to a fun dinner with Grandma and my parents prepared by Greg. To top it off, Greg started working on the nursery (picture included:)- I was so surprised! We are still figuring out paint colors but you can see the chandelier, rug and pillow of the bedding. On Wednesday, Greg & I decided to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by having all our close friends over for a delicious Mexican dinner! Turned out to be a great night and we decided this was a great way to break up the work week. Last night we FINALLY celebrated Mom's birthday with an amazing steak dinner with Mark & Elizabeth. Love spending time with my family:)
