This one is taken at the hotel, gotta love the 70's decor!
Here are some pics of me at 24 weeks pregnant, so 6 months. Its great to be showing that I am pregnant now instead of just feeling it! I have been feeling pretty good except after I eat. Usually I have to eat a tums after every meal, it settles my stomach a little for some reason. I have felt the baby moving around a lot lately. It's so cute I love feeling him move. When I am wearing certain pants he kicks really hard as if he thinks they are too tight and restricting on him. I love how everytime I push on my belly he will kick my hand in greeting, as if to say, "Hi mommy Im still in here!" hehe. And each time I move my hand to a different spot he will kick wherever I push down at. So cute!
Lately our life has consisted of working and studying. Devin has two online classes he has to take before Nursing school starts this fall so I have been helping him out by studying with him. Right now we have been staying in a hotel 3 hours away from our apartment cause that is where they are working. Most of the other wives stayed back at the apartments but I just don't like being away from Devin so I came along! We can't wait until the summer is over and we are headed back home, only 3 in a half weeks left out here! I just can't wait to get home and get things settled for the baby. We have so much to buy for him, a nursery to plan, and we need to find a place to live! It will be so nice to be in Utah for the fall. I have missed Utah Summers the past two and last fall we were in California so I am really looking forward to the changing leaves and the perfect Utah fall weather! Home is calling to me already and the best part will be living by family again!
At the game!
Getting Bigger everyday!! Me at 26 weeks!
So last weekend we went to a Philly's game. Devin's favorite baseball team the Atlanta Braves were in town so we just HAD to go! =) We got pretty good seats on the 23rd row behind the Braves dugout. After the 2nd inning we had a rain delay for an hour in a half. And then the Braves ended up losing 10-12. It was a really good game though with lots of home runs! I love going to Baseball games, it was so much fun! especially when you have such good seats. It was funny cause after we got home I said to Devin, "I love Baseball." and he about died. and then I was like, did I REALLY just say that? cause if any of you know I am not the biggest sports fan in the world. I enjoy going to games but my family just wasn't that big into sports growing up, not like Dev's family they love sports so it was kind of an adjustment at first. But honestly since we have been married I have learned SO much about sports and really do love it! who knew I was a secret sports fan all this time!! hehe. I'm so happy my honey loves sports and that he will pass that on to our little boy. I can't wait to watch my little boy play!
Me and Devin went on a harbor lights night cruise that takes you all along the shore of New York City and down under the bridges, by the statue of Liberty and back around. It was beautiful. Especially the sunset!
At the Broadway play Wicked. It was SO good! Devin wasn't really excited to go because he doesn't really like musicals but he ended up loving it and wanted to see it again! it really is a must see. I loved it and now can't stop playing the CD at home. The music is so good, especially after you have seen the play!
On the 4th of July we went to the Yankees- Red Sox game at the Bronx. They are tearing down the Yankees stadium after this year and Devin really wanted to see it before they did. We went to Monument park in the Stadium that has all the monuments of all the greats that played for the Yankees through the years. Devin loved it! The game was alot of fun. It was hard to get tickets for the game being on the 4th but we managed to get some at the very top. Well it rained out the game and so there was a rain delay.. most everyone went home so when the game started up again we moved down. It worked out perfect! And even better, the Red Sox won! Below is a picture of all of us waiting for the fireworks to start. It started to rain and we only had one umbrella for all of us! The fireworks were amazing, even in the rain. It was fun to see so many let off at once but I still prefer the small town firework shows while laying on the grass in a blanket instead of watching in the company of a million people!
Us playing on the Big piano from the movie BIG in Fao Schwartz on Fifth avenue and below is a pic of me and Dev in times square at night!
Last week Devin took off four days of work and we drove to NYC to meet Devin's family, they flew out from Utah for the vacation! We all rented a house in Queens like 30 minutes from the city by train. We had so much fun getting to see family this summer, usually we go all summer without seeing anyone! We stayed there 5 nights and rode the train every morning into the city to see the sites. There is a lot to see in New York and we crammed all that we could into the 4 days we were there. We got to see Central Park, 5th Avenue, Statue of Liberty, Broadway, Yankee Stadium, Chinatown, Little Italy, Times Square, The Empire state Building, Rockefellar Center, World Trade Center Site and many more. My favorites would have to be Wicked, the Yankees game, Times Square and the Ground Zero Tour. On the Ground Zero Tour they take you through a gallery of pictures and quotes from people who were there on September 11 and then on a tour to see the site from an adjacent building. The tour guides are people that were there on Sept 11, it was really cool to hear their stories and to really picture what it would have been like on that day. It really hit closer to home to be there and was really touching to read the stories of people that lost their loved ones and coworkers. I also really liked Times Square at night. So many lights and tons of people and shops and fun places to eat! We had a lot of fun in New York and were so glad we got to go. NYC is so busy with so many people and we had fun seeing it but decided we really do like our laid back slow paced life in Utah!!
Last weekend we went to the beach in Ocean City, New Jersey. I really loved the long boardwalk with all the shops and restaurants but the beach part wasn't all that great. They made you pay 5 dollars to go sit on the beach for the day. How dumb is that! I refused to pay it so we waited till someone left their post where you pay and ran down there anyway! It was a pretty beach and the waves were perfect the day we went. We had a lot of fun hanging out on the beach, playing in the sand building things and making tunnels and looking for seashells. After we were done we decided to go drive by Atlantic City to see what it was like. I have heard that it is the Vegas of the east. We decided we like Vegas way better though, there is lots to do in Vegas besides just gambling and that was all there was to do in Atlantic City. They only had like 4 casinos and they were all in a really ghetto part of town. The best casino was the Taj Mahal. All in all the day was a success!
