Baby P Update

Stacey's water broke this morning around 5:30am. I am now at the hospital with her and she's doing great. They are going to be giving her pitocin to speed things up and hopefully by 7:00 tonight that sweet little baby will be here. We are so excited to meet this baby. I'll keep you all updated throughout the day.

Banana Bread

I decided to make my mom's banana bread this morning. I had ripe banana's and some time on my hands so why not, right? Well - I consider myself an ok cook but I have never been a successful baker. 

In the end the outside edges seemed to get kind of dark but overall it tasted pretty good. Not nearly as good as my mom - but not bad at all. 
I ended up eating half a loaf with three cups of decaf tea for breakfast. I probably shouldn't have made it at all. 

Nashville

Well, I'm on the first of my last three trips for work! Woohoo - I got to Nashville early this morning and I'll be leaving tomorrow night. I wont get to see much of the city - oh well, I'm just glad its a quick trip. Traveling is even more exhausting while preggers. 

I tried uploading a picture of downtown nashville - but it doesn't want to work.

My DC Baby Shower

First let me just say thank you to Stacey, Erin, my mom and my mother in law for such an amazing shower. Stacey put so much work into it; making it just perfect. I really appreciate all you did to make it so special. Thank you!

Here is most of our little crew of friends. We are missing Michelle, Betsy, and Danielle.(We missed you guys!)
I am so lucky to have such great friends – thank you all so much for coming to the shower, for you generosity and just for being such awesome people that I get to be friends with!!!
I love that the baby food container is in this picture. Wow - are our lives really changing. From all night Halloween and New Years Eve parties to diapers and early nights. It’s all worth it though and by Christmas we’ll have 9 babies in the mix.
Thanks Mom for flying up from Florida to be with me and Lyn for Driving from Erie alone with 3 kids!!! Thank you Alissa for flying in from Chicago and mom and dad Brugger for driving in from Erie! It would not have been the same without you all there.

Last Thursday (Late posts)

Last Thursday night our families came into town and we picked up pizza and headed to the park for a free concert. We had a great time - but it was quite a differrent experience compared to when Stacey, Grey, Craig and I would go with 4 bottles a wine and go home with them all empty in the recyclable bin.

Salt and Vinegar

We have started calling this baby the lazy couch potato baby since its movements are so slow and gentle. It moves so softly that sometimes I get nervous that I haven't felt it move in awhile. I hear stories from pregnant friends that say their babies move all the time - that they feel kicks and punches constantly. This lazy baby just likes to turn and shift positions and I never really get any great forceful kicks.  Well, that all changed yesterday when I had a bag of salt and vinegar chips.  After 5 minutes of eating them the baby went crazy - I was getting kicks and punches on both my right and my left side and they were so strong they kind of hurt. So, I stopped eating them for about 15 minutes and the baby slowed down. I waited another 10 minutes and then ate a bunch more - within 5 minutes the crazy kicks started again. It was wild. I'm going to buy the biggest bag I can find and whenever i get nervous about kick counts I'm having some salt and vinegar to get this kid moving.
