Aunt Ronda & Steve O tied the knot a few weeks back in Chicago.  So, David and I decided we would make a weekend trip out of it and headed up after work on Thursday. Even better? Rachel and Jim joined us that night!  We didn't get up there until late, but had fun catching up and hanging out that night.  Then, on Friday, our tour de chicago began!

It went a little something like this:

corner bakery > millenium park > the bean > shedd aquarium > gino's east > navy pier

 bean + baby bump = scary alien shapes

Then, on Saturday it was wedding day! Our day started at Corner Bakery (again) and continued with shopping then finally a fabulous wedding on Chicago's First Lady.

Cooler temps and intense fog/mist kept us inside for the ceremony, but the brave ones did venture upstairs for some dancing and fireworks later in the night.

Cheers to Aunt Ronda & Steve O! (I know, how lame that I don't even have a picture of the bride and groom!)

thirty

weeks.

How did that happen? 

The nesting bug has hit our house, and not just for me. While I feel the constant need to clean/arrange/move things around/piddle around the house - David has been motoring on projects inside and out.  The 4-5 nights in the last two weeks that we are still awake at midnight have me a little concerned.  But - I have promised myself that July is the month of saying NO to commitments. Wish me luck :)

In the past week, David re-edged our beds/trees, built up the beds in front, spread 4 yards of mulch (until it was dark!), secured the carpenter and painter for the nursery and oversaw that project.  Not to mention all of the other stuff like mowing, etc.

I am super excited about the molding and paint in the nursery - and that the furniture gets delivered TODAY!  Happy 30 weeks to me!

It could be a short or long 10 weeks - who knows.  But, so far feeling great still. I did realize this week that my bending over to weed the beds (which I love to do) is short-lived as it not only hurts, but is hard to stand up from.  lovely.  despite feeling old, the heat hasn't been bad and I have yet to swell!  woo hoo!

Stay tuned for photos of the belly and nursery!
