Texas

Last weekend, I went to Texas to visit my sister and help her with the nursery. My aunt Cindy and mom were there too. We had a great time! The nursery is so cute. My aunt Cindy did a wonderful job putting it all together. And Sarah was so easy going, which is usually how I am.
I'm her next client but I think I'm going to be a tough client. I really don't know how I want to decorate and everything they kept suggesting this weekend I kept saying no to. Hopefully, Cindy won't want to strangle me by the time we are done. She does an awesome job and I am sure I will love whatever we end up doing!
Sarah and Rob took me to a Rangers game on Friday night. The weather was so strange that night. It stormed around the whole stadium but we never had any rain. The heat lightening was amazing and I wish I would have caught it on camera.
I had a wonderful time in Texas. I wish that Sarah and I lived closer to each other, so we could visit more often.
I will post pictures tomorrow.

25 Weeks

We went to the doctor last week and he said everything is looking good. He did a quick ultrasound and confirmed that we are still having a little girl! Wow, I have gained 20lbs already and still have until September. I am going to be huge!

The Company Trip

This year for our company trip, we went to Saddlebrook Resort in Wesley Chapel. I had so much fun spending time with family and friends. We had a lot of activities going on the whole weekend. I played a lot of tennis, when I wasn't hitting my sister with the ball. I ate way too much food that is probably why I have already gained 20 lbs. And I am just a little over half way there. We danced up a storm with TJ, our pond bird! I watched the volleyball tournament and wished I could have been out there playing. And then the last night we had a poker tournament. Last year, I won the tournament, so this year I thought I would give someone else a chance. Everyone had a blast! What a great weekend!

Bedding and Gifts

I have received so many wonderful gifts! I would like to thank Pam and Shandi for the cute clothes and books. I don't think TJ knows what to do with you guys. He said every time he turns around you guys are buying something. Y'all are too sweet! I heard TJ is great at reading Brown Bear. I will be keeping that book at the office, so we can get some entertainment. The bunny slippers and bunny blankie are from my Mom and Dad. My mom bought those slippers last year just because she thought they were so cute and I think she was ready for grand kids. Well, she got her wish. Two at one time! The bunny is adorable. Sarah and mom bought it in North Carolina, during their girls week. I think it will be her favorite blankie! The pink blanket my mother-n-law made for her. It matches the bedding I picked out perfectly. She is very crafty! Thank you everyone for the gifts! We really appreciate them. Here is the bedding I picked out. I am going to do the shabby chic look. And I think it matches the blue walls, so I won't have to paint.

The Boat

I haven't been on the boat since I have been pregnant, so last weekend we decided to try it out. I was so excited to go fishing and be out in the sun, but it didn't go as planned. The seas were 6-8 feet and our little girl was not liking it. We did get to stay out long enough to catch 1 dolphin, so that was exciting. Then Bryson brought me back in and dropped us off at the dock. Cason, Megan and I decided to go to the beach since we were already in our bathing suits and ready to get some sun. Here are some pictures of us at the beach. I am 21 weeks in these pictures.

Skeet Shoot in Arcadia

I spent last weekend in Arcadia with my good friend, Cason. Cason and her aunt were in charge of a fundraiser skeet shoot on Saturday, for a high school boy who has cancer. Neither one of them have ever been to a skeet shoot before and were working their butts off to get it all set up. I told Cason that I would volunteer since I have been to a couple of skeet shoots before. I was in charge of signing the walk-up shooters in and then I drove the drink cart around and made sure no one was dehydrated. Cason and her aunt did an awesome job and raised $8000!!! Everyone had a blast and already want to do it again. Here is a picture of Cason and I at the end of the shoot.

Sunday was Mother's Day and Bryson had to work all day, so I stayed in Arcadia. Cason's family had a wonderful cookout for lunch. There was such good food and so much of it. My little girl was loving it! Thank you Bateman's for having me for Mother's Day! After lunch we went to visit our friend Sheri. Sheri is pregnant and is due in June. She also has the cutest little boy! We couldn't get him to smile for the camera but he did stick his tongue out for it.

Shopping

My mom and I did some shopping this weekend. I think we got everything I will need for the rest of my pregnancy. I had her take a picture of me with the baby bump that they let you put on to make sure the clothes will still fit when you are 9 months. Don't laugh too hard!
