Babymoon!

Sorry this post is a little late, but we have been out of town for a week. I am now 28 weeks 5 days, and we just got back from our wonderful babymoon! We started with three days in Chicago, and were blessed with beautiful weather. We stayed downtown and enjoyed a boat tour on the river, the Art Institute, Millennium Park, Lincoln Park Zoo, Jersey Boys, and lots of great food. I am sure all the walking was good exercise for me, but my feet were swollen and I was spent by bedtime each night.

On Friday between our drive from Chicago to the lake we stopped in Elkhart and Ryan got a new car! He is pretty excited about all the room on the backseat. We spent the rest of the weekend at the lake, and it was nice to be able to relax and not be on my feet. I am really not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow after a week off.

26 Weeks and 1 Day!

My excitement for the week is that I finally bought a maternity swim suit for work. For those of you who don't know, I do aquatic physical therapy and am in the pool two days a week. Up until this point I had just been wearing old stretched out faded suits. It really got to the point where they were no longer working, and I finally broke down and got one that fits my growing belly! Black with white polka dots...I guess it is cute if you can call a maternity swim suit cute.

Also in exciting news this week, Ryan started to paint the nursery! He had some great help on Saturday from Lisa, Cal, and Justin Cripe. They helped to move everything out of the bedroom (which is now taking over my living room) and then got to work painting. I think they may have had a little bit too much fun with the primer! The nursery is now all painted except for the trim, which Ryan is going to finish this weekend. Also this weekend we are going to order the crib and other furniture for the nursery! It is so much fun to start getting everything ready for the baby. To top things off Ryan and I have only 2 weeks left until our vacation!!!
