Movin' and Groovin'

This weekend the Husband was pretty busy taking a class all day Saturday and working the sound system at a recital Friday & Saturday nights and Sunday afternoon.  He claims it was worse than torture but I did remind him that he wants a girl and if that does happen there will probably be many more recitals in our future!  He said if we have a girl she can just learn to dance in the living room - I told him we would figure that all out later ;).  

As he was busy makin' dollar bills, I was making a cake for a baby shower we helped host tonight!  Pictures to come soon!  Saturday while I was taking a break from being a baker, I was sitting on the couch with me feet up and kept feeling a weird muscle spasm in my gut.  After about a minute of this it dawned on me that this was not MY 'muscle spasm' but it was the first official baby kicks!  Of course after feeling it and realizing what it was I know realized I've been feeling this for week or two, but now it is much more consistent!!  Baby Robinson continued to karate chop his or her way across my abdomen and I could even feel a couple with my hand!!  I couldn't wait for the Husband to get home hoping he could maybe feel it too.  When he got home nothing was happening, so I went about my business but at bedtime he/she started up again - unfortunately the Husband never was able to feel it, but I'm sure he will soon!  

Time for bed here, hope you all had a good weekend too!  Since I don't really like posting without at least one picture, I'll leave you with a picture of the bump :)

Slice of Heaven

Last Sunday I got myself a little slice of heaven which Miss B promptly claimed as her own...

That's right a kiddie pool!  No I didn't buy this for the kid-to-be, I bought it for MYSELF!!

You see I was quite spoiled growing up.  We lived literally ACROSS THE STREET - AKA WALKING DISTANCE - LESS THAN 200 Ft from the pool!  I got to swim EVERY DAY and it was GLORIOUS!  Here in Lawrence they don't really have such a thing as neighborhood pools.  (Side Note:  If they do PLEASE PLEASE tell me!!!!)  Growing up I also was a life guard at the same pool and it was so relaxed and fun - isn't it like that everywhere?!  NO!  Absolutely NOT!!  I worked one miserable summer here at the City Pool and let me tell you, those kids are NOT fun!  I mean they actually almost drown, you have to SAVE PEOPLE!!  In all 4 summers I worked at the neighborhood pool I NEVER once had to save anyone and I could probably count on one hand the times that other guards had to save someone (my brother is one of those, but that's a story for another day :).  Sorry got off on a bit of a tangent there.  My point is I don't really enjoy going to the pool here, so I've made my own little paradise!  This guy is about 6 ft across and a couple of feet deep.  Just deep enough that I can float on a raft while laying out!  The Husband thinks I'm ridiculous, but if I'm going to grow a baby this summer, I'm still going to be tan and cool for that matter!  Of course Sunday it was cool and rainy, so I haven't gotten to use it yet, but I will.  The Husband even made me a skimmer to clean out the bugs and grass!  He's secretly jealous :)

The rest of Sunday I watched as the Husband and his little helper trimmed trees so our garden will get a little more light.

Hubs hard at work

His little helper - Scar Face. 

Don't worry not a real scar, just dried spit.

 Ooo!  What are we doing with the stick!?

Playing?! Fetch!? Whatever it is it's great!

Hi Mom!

I'm working really hard I need a drink from my GIANT water bowl...

 And I'm back!

Keep Away?!

I love this game!

Need another drink

Gotcha!

No fair!  You're taller!!

I still have the biggest water bowl, so HA!

5 Years in the Making

So the Husband and I celebrated our 5th year of marriage on Saturday!  I can't believe we've been married that long!!  What is really unbelievable is that come August, we will have been together for 11 big ones!!  Yep we were High School Sweet-Hearts.  Started dating on my 16th B-Day in fact.  The even cRaZiEr thing is that I was the one who made the first move.  If you know us at all, that is so NOT characteristic of me!  You see I'm the shy sweet good girl and the Husband is the loud obnoxious in-your-face guy.  (It's true I'm always telling him he is so loud :)  But that's what happened folks and apparently it was meant to be considering we've got a baby bean on the way!  We always talked about wanting to go some where fun on vacation for our 5th Anny, but little did we realize we would be up to our eyeballs in school debt!  So instead we went some where fun - just locally - on a daycation!

We got to wake up to this sweet face...

First we went to the Farmer's Market as that's one of my favorites.  We bought some home-made jam from one of my patients and an apple pie.  The Husband used his bartering skills and talked her down from $10 to $7 - that's MY man.  Then we tried a new place for breakfast and it was awesome!  It's called Mirth Cafe - fun Lawrence atmosphere and great food!  Then we went home a took a nap - things really wear me down these days!  Then we went to the KC SeaLife Aquarium - get ready for picture overload...

Looks like it's wearing lace

 This is my favorite one!

 This guy wouldn't hold still!

Eels are gross

 This creature was kinda cute too, not sure what you call it :)

This one reminded us of Bailey :)  I think it's the eyes

After the aquarium we went to a T-Bonez Game which was so fun.  We were going to get the closer seats, but they didn't have anything left except the bleacher seats.  So we were a bit bummed... UNTIL we got to the seats!  They are completely in the shade and really spread out, so they were perfect!  

All in all a great daycation for our 5th Anny!!

Hopefully on our 10th we will only be in school debt to our ankles or else NOT AT ALL!!  Then we can take a vacation outside of 30 miles from our house!  :)
