Well, I'm at 27 weeks now, and the baby is moving like a crazy person! :) There are definitely some mornings that it surprises me how much he moves. He began moving the Monday after our sonogram, and he's been pretty much moving non-stop. At first, it was a little weird, but I'm actually enjoying the movements a lot. They're like little reassuring kicks of him saying that he's okay. Andrew has gotten to feel him kick quite a bit - he's much more active in the morning and the evening, when I'm "relaxing" or laying in bed. It's still kinda weird to think that there's a little person growing inside of me!
We managed to get a babymoon in this past month. It was a quick trip to Vegas. Andrew and I had Christine & Kerry's wedding on Saturday, June 21, and after the wedding, we were planning on driving to Las Vegas. So, my parents, Shannon, and Ellen, came to pick us up in Morrison, and then we started our *very long* drive to Nevada. After several stops (mostly so that I could relieve my sensitive bladder on a regular basis), we drove straight through the night and were on the strip at 6:30am Sunday morning. We stayed at the Monte Carlo, and spent some time at the pool in the morning, after meeting up with Andrew's parents for some breakfast (his aunt and uncle and grandma would meet us later in the day).
We walked around the strip, and got a chance to catch one of the water shows at the Bellagio, as well as check out the always beautiful Conservatory. I also love chocolate display - Bellagio is my favorite! :)
Monday, Shannon and I went to the the Mandalay Bay Shark Reef, where they had the elusive water fountain (apparently, Las Vegas Casinos have decided to make more money by removing all fountains so that people are forced to purchase water).
The Shark Reef was pretty incredible - lots of different animals and sea creatures. We even got to see some sting rays (always my favorite!).
We left Vegas Tuesday morning at about 5:30am - and made it just in time to our 6:50 softball game (yes, we managed to pull out the victory!). Mom turned 50 on Wednesday, and Brittany turned 29 (for the first time) on Thursday. For Britt's celebration, we went to the aquarium, and had a very nice dinner (the guys just aren't as pretty to look at!).
I also got to *finally* have my picture with my newest baby niece - she's so adorable!!
That's it for now... I'll try to be better about getting the next update on the web for you all. :)
