6 Month Bump

Ok, I finally took a photo that I feel comfortable posting :) I'm 24 weeks tomorrow, whoa. Where does the time go? We move in 2 weeks back to Houston, we're taking an RV back, so it'll be a fun week long road trip. Also will be great to get up, stretch my legs, go pee when I want, and have a kitchen on board! Loving being pregnant and feeling my little girl kicking me ALL the time! Life is so good right now!!

Bachelorette Weekend in Dallas


Me w/ Katy who is due in May and our proud friend Kelly :)
(My old roommates from fort worth)

This past weekend was a total whirlwind! One of my best friend's Christy is getting married in May in Mexico (I can't go cause it's a few weeks before my due date). So this past weekend was her bachelorette party in Frisco/Dallas where she lives. So the only ticket I found that was under $500 had me driving to Seattle and flying through IAH to get there. Thursday night Sam had the worst heartburn of his life so I took him to the ER and we found out it's an ulcer. I was there with him until 2am, I had to wake up at 5am to drive to Seattle! So I pretty much scratched my whole travel plan saying there was no way I could do it. But while laying in bed I couldn't go back to sleep and just kept thinking how much I wanted to see my girls before me and Katy both had our babies soon! So, I pulled myself together, got in the car by 6am, was @ Seattle airport by 9:30am and got on my flight. Luckily none of my fights were canceled from the crazy snow storms, but when I finally got to Dallas it was insane. Not only from the weather but the damn superbowl! No one could come get me in that weather so she organized a shuttle which ended up taking 4.5 hours to get from from DFW to Frisco - a trip that normally takes 30 minutes. Saturday was great, hanging with my girls and getting our nails done, went to dinner, and a club. It was awesome having a sober partner in Katy who is a month further along in her pregnancy. So Sunday came and again I had to fly from DFW to IAH to SEA and drive to Vancouver. Sam wanted me to get a hotel room in Seattle if I was too tired to drive but I pushed through and with the weather being pretty dry it wasn't too bad. Pulled up to our house in Vancouver at 11:30pm. I think I traveled more hours than I spent in Frisco but it was worth it. I figure once I have a kid it won't be as easy for me to just grab my bag and run to be with my girlfriends!
