October 10th was Abby’s 13th birthday, so 7 of us decided to head to the cities for a birthday weekend! It was my mom, Abby, Betsy and 3 of their friends! On Saturday we went to the Mall of America and pretty much hung out in the theme park all day. All the girls got wristbands, so they could ride all the rides all day! I watched from the sidelines- next year I will be with them!! Then Sunday was a big day! I saw on my Twitter page that Gloriana (opening act for Taylor Swift) would be at Wal-Mart in the cities….so we surprised the girls and went to their meet and greet. It was a lot of fun; we got all their autographs and took a group picture with all of them. (below) Then we started to head to downtown Minneapolis to the Target Center for the Taylor Swift concert! It was amazing. Taylor is a great performer with a lot of spunk and energy!!! (A couple of pictures are below) So, that was our fun filled weekend.
The next weekend was our 1 year anniversary!!! October 18, 2008…what a great day! I can not believe that we are celebrating it already! This year has been amazing and I have a wonderful husband. We drove to Green Bay to go to the Packer vs. Lions game. (They won!!) It was so much fun; we were in the end zone 10 rows up! Amazing seats!!~ Pat likes to tell people that he knows he picked the right wife, because what wife would be OK with going to the Packer game for their anniversary!?! Um, HELLO! I think I was MORE excited then him!!
The next weekend was my goddaughters 1st birthday! Betsy, Abby and I went to Medford to spend that time with Bella and her family to help her celebrate! We had a great time and ate lots of great food and cake!! Yumm!!! The picture is from when she got a bath in the sink, cus her cake was sooo messy :)
Today is October 28th and I am 14 weeks this week. I get weekly updates regarding my preggo self and this week was an interesting one to me…it said “Your baby is beginning to respond to outside stimuli. If your abdomen is poked, the fetus will try to wriggle away.” So crazy!! I thought this one was a good one to share…no poking my belly people :) I am feeling really good still. I finally just got over my three week cold (with a little help from antibiotics) otherwise all is well here. I am still not in maternity clothes at all, but I am starting to find that some of my shirts “ride up” a little bit and a couple of my pants that I could “squeeze” into before….not so much any more! Oh well, time to start shopping! The baby is 3.2-4.1 inches from crown to rump! Last week baby was the size of a peach…so he/she is a little bigger this week about the size of your fist!!
This was a long update…only because the last few weeks have been crazy! Hope you are all well…make sure you take our poll above!
