I love FRIENDS!

Throwback Thursday!

Linking up once again for Throwback Thursday!

Oh, this time I'll take it back to high school. Although I was not a big fan of high school - I just wanted to be in college and learn what I wanted to learn about - 3 of my best friends [ who are more like sisters ] are from high school so I can't hate on it tooooo much!

Me [ in the green ] with two of my 3 best friends before senior ball - we actually have very cute dresses that I don't think we will look back on and hate in 10 years!

Tom and I in Cape Cod the summer before my Senior year - so young and Tom is SO blonde and tan!

My younger brother and I the morning of my high school graduation. He will hate me for posting this as he is now 6'5 and scrawny! Oh and I may regret that table cloth I am wearing!

23 Weeks

How far along?: 23 weeks 

Maternity clothes: Jeans and leggings but everything else are my regular clothes. I can't wait for it to get nice out so I can wear my dresses and skirts that are stretchy and way more comfortable!

Best moment this week: Tom and I decided Friday afternoon to go to Boston for the weekend to see the political comedian Lewis Black! It was so much fun and great to just do something on a whim - something we won't be able to do once the baby is born. 

Symptoms: My stomach is definitely starting to stretch and gets kinda painful by the end of the day.

Miss anything?: Definitely missed having a few drinks while out in Boston.

Movement: Yes! He is kicking a lot and Tom has finally been able to feel him too! 

Food cravings: Yes, strawberries and blackberries and luckily Hannaford's had good strawberries.

Have you started to show yet?: Oh yes! 

Gender prediction: It's a boy!

Mood: Happy but a little overwhelmed with how much we have to do the next 3 months. 

Looking forward to: Going home for the weekend to go to a friends bridal shower. Tom has to work [ as a physical therapist he has to work one weekend every six weeks ] so I'm going to my parents and it will be nice to spend time home with them.

Marriage Equality

Being raised by two pretty liberal parents who also support marriage equality, I've never understood why loving another person and wanting to be with them forever is a bad thing? I do understand how it is "against" some peoples religious beliefs but its not like LGBT couples are asking to be married in a church so why does separation of church and state not exist with marriage equality??? And when people say "it threatens the sanctity of marriage" it makes me sooo mad because the people threatening the sanctity of marriage are the 50% that are divorced, or the people who rush to get married even though they aren't 100% sure they love the other person - Vegas chapels anyone?!?

I just don't get why love is such a bad thing?!?

Friday's Letters

Dear Ubu, I really hope you aren't getting sick - we have no money and the vet is expensive. You seem a little more lethargic than normal and you are coughing as if you have something stuck in your throat. Dear Little Man, dad was excited to feel you kick for the first time this week, I think you knew he was getting impatient wanting to feel you kick! Dear Spring, I know we live in Vermont and you don't always come when you are supposed to but my winter parka is getting a little tight and I'm not sure how much longer it will last. Dear Daycare Providers, we better find one of you that we like very soon or our little man will be coming to work with me after maternity leave in October. [ yes, we have called two dozen places and no one has infant care open for OCTOBER! either that or they are a little too sketchy ] Dear Husband, thank you for being strong and level-headed when my pregnancy hormones make me an irrational mess.

Throwback Thursday

Linking up with Ady, Julia, and Jennifer today for Throwback Thursday!
We'll go back to the last day in Ithaca of my Freshman year of college. This was after the crew banquet and we all went cliff jumping - and by "we all" I mean I'm terrified of heights and watched others jump.

Diana and I [ I'm on the right ]  :)

 

Amy, myself and Diana - Amy was a bridesmaid in my wedding and I am also one in hers this coming June. Tom and Chris [ her fiance ] are best friends and are/will be best man in each others wedding.  

Mine is the blonde one in the middle with the glasses :)

I miss college and seeing my best friends everyday! Tom and I are going back to Ithaca the weekend of April 6 and we're sooo excited - we love Ithaca and would love to live there some day.

22 Weeks

How far along?: 22 weeks 

Maternity clothes: Jeans and leggings but everything else are my regular clothes. I bought two regular size small, jersey stretch dresses from Old Navy too since they were on sale and will be perfect this summer!

Best moment this week: Going home for one of my best friend's bridal shower and seeing my other best friends too! [ there are four of us from high school that are still beyond close - basically sisters :) ] And we stayed at my parents house so we got to catch up with them and go out to dinner which was amazing!

Symptoms: My stomach can sometimes be painful especially when I bend over. I'm just achy in general too and not sleeping too well lately. 

Miss anything?: Everyone was drinking mimosas at the bridal shower and I missed not having one to celebrate.

Movement: Yes! He is kicking a lot not, especially when I'm sitting down at work or when I have a full bladder. 

Food cravings: Not anything in particular.

Have you started to show yet?: Oh yes! 

Gender prediction: It's a boy!

Mood: Happy but still busy.

Looking forward to: Having a nice relaxing weekend home before I am gone every weekend for six weeks. Tom will be traveling with me for four of them but I'm on my own the other two so those 6 weeks will fly by.
