Happy 4th!

Popping on really quickly to say Happy 4th of July to everyone! It's been a whirlwind weekend for us. Yesterday began at 5:45 a.m. since Tim wanted to run a local race. He placed 42nd out of 1500 which is pretty incredible and 4th in his age bracket, earning him an award! Way to go, babes!

Then we made it to our city's parade which proved to be one gigantic advertisement for local politicians and stores. It was kind of annoying but lesson learned. Then it was lunch & naps for all, followed by some old fashioned popcorn making (Popcorn! On a stove! Who knew?) and a stupid comedy movie to appease Tim. Oh, and then let's not forget about our flooded laundry room that we discovered at 11:00 last night. Man, I love home ownership.

Today's been church, lunch and some more lounging and tonight we're off to see FIREWORKS! Let's just hope my child can handle staying up 'til 11:00 tonight. It's never happened before!

For those who asked, behold the monster belly. No need to tell me, I'm already aware that "it might be twins!" or "man you're huge!" Thanks. Somewhere between 10 weeks and 12, my baby exploded in size.

  1. While that is big for 12 weeks (which you are obviously well aware of) you still lookg GREAT! you are all belly, and beyond cute. Plus I have always heard you "pop" sooner with your second. Your ultra sound is a few weeks off yet, right?

  2. How'd Ben do at fireworks? I decided to skip them this year. It started raining here in Olathe around 8:30 pm, not sure if the rain was metro wide.

  3. WOW!! You look GREAT but you do kinda look more like you did when you were 5 months pregnant :) But GREAT none the less....and me, I'm SUPER jealous :) Are you finding out the sex? and You should totally do a comparison slide show of you now and you when you were pregnant with Ben.

  4. Um, Mandie, would you believe I was about the same size with Ben?! I WAS! I was HUGE! I remember thinking I was going to be an absolute cow by the time he was born, but my growth slowed down a lot. I'll post a side-by-side soon. :)
