who else enjoyed the heck out of their long weekend?

does anyone else enjoy the word "largish" as much as i do?

 

what the hell is going on in there? baby is keenly aware of my movements (like, say, when i squish my belly with my hands or jiggle him around. it's like an amusement park ride, right?) and sounds. so, when we shout "STOP LICKING" at cooley-dog, baby hears and is becoming used to it. this is great news, because when we shout at cooley after baby is born, he won't be startled by it! yay!

 

what the hell is going on out here? i'm finding it seriously cumbersome to fill out all those categories, so i'm condensing. everything has been pretty mellow on my end. i bought some maternity leggings (holy crap they are so comfortable) and christa informed me that target has my favorite no-waist skirts for sale. sleeping isn't going too badly and eating is normal. i've started reading a book my midwife recommended about labor & birth, which is scary + helpful. also, michael was able to feel a couple little kicks today!

 

we had a HUGELY exciting memorial day weekend. amy & hilary came to visit on friday. we made homemade pizza and chatted and got bakery treats the next morning. i <3 michael's sisters. saturday night we went out to visit with michael's friends seth & camille who were in town for a wedding. we left the house at 9:30pm! and went to a bar! and didn't get home until 1am! (the last time i did all those things, i got pregnant!) sunday, john & christa & john's mom stopped by for a visit on their way back to boulder. it's been forever since we've seen john and christa, so i was very happy.

 

additionally, we planted some tomatoes, took a nice dog park walk, made cookies, and had some really awesome naps. i hope you all enjoyed your weekend as much as we did!
