>Gone To Texas!

In April, Lily and I spent a whole week in Austin! It was great to be with family and friends again after so long. Highlights included; amazing food I missed so much, a baby shower, Mama’s 60th birthday celebration, food, going to Starbucks, family coming all the way from Alabama, food, late nights, early mornings and did I mention food?
Me with Mama, brother, sister-in-law and nieces, on top of Austin’s new “mountain” near Lady Bird Lake formerly known as plain old Town Lake.
Me and Lily in the Bluebonnets! A Texas tradition. Sadly these were all I could find this time of year.
Hanging out in Mama’s back yard with all my homies.
And my Sofflings!
Sara Jane and I had a very special date at Starbucks! Mmmm, Mochas and Pumpkin Bread. Thank you Boo Boo!
Monday was Mama’s birthday. It was a day full of surprises, special features, balloons and FOOD!

Happy Birthday Mama!

After a fast and busy week it was time to get home to good ole’ Nebraska where my sweet husband and countless naps awaited my return.

Sunday afternoon my wonderful ladies hosted a baby shower at my former church. It was great to see so many people again and get some cute things for Lily!

Haley came all the way from Dallas!



Super family!

My ladies!

My loot!

>25 weeks.

We’re at 25 weeks now! I’m so excited to be in my 6th month. I can’t hide this baby anymore! I’ve been asked a lot lately how I’m doing and realized that this has been an pretty easy journey so far. Everything has been going very well. This month has brought a lot of changes. Stronger kicking and punching which I can’t get enough of! Phil even gets in on that action. He got to play with her last night when she’d kick back to his tapping.

This little girl really moved up over the last couple of weeks and with that has come some breathing difficulty and alas the dreaded heartburn. I’m in it to win it though! I’m looking forward to that last trimester only a couple weeks away. Our bed is full of pillows and the carpet is already wearing from my constant trips to the bathroom, but I’m ready for the pending final stretch…I think. Let the waddling begin!

>Fishing.

Spring beckoned us to the great outdoors. We drove out to the lake for some fishing yesterday.

We didn’t catch anything, but saw lots of ducks.

And these birds. I’m not sure what they were, but at one point they viciously set upon some poor creature in the water. I was just glad it wasn’t me. Too many birds out today for my taste.
They were pretty when they flew off though.
