8.5 to go!

Wow. What a roller coaster! I have been having SO much fun with my pregnancy! (is there a sarcasm font yet?) For the most part, its been pretty great. I love being pregnant, I love having this little guy kicking around and abusing my internal organs (for the most part so far). I haven't had any morning sickness, which means I haven't thrown up. I have, however, had migraines that make me cry, leg cramps that make me want to tear off my legs, and swelling that makes me panic. I know it's normal, but swelling freaks me out! Luckily the swelling has been minimal compared to some people and seems to mostly be related to the humidity and traveling I was recently exposed to. I also really dislike heartburn and feeling like I can't breathe. The fun thing is thinking about the fact that he's still growing!! In any case, overall I love it. I am so excited to meet my little Sawyer.

Over the past weekend I went to Wisconsin for a baby shower with friends and family. Josh stayed home and so it was just the girls! It was so nice to see everyone and to share in the excitement. I got lots of nice things and some gift cards to boot. Our friend Sandy made a fabulous Baby Melon Salad and grandma ordered a super yummy carrot cake!

After the shower mom, grandma, and I went to Elevatorfest (an annual picnic from the West Bend Elevator). It was fantastic, there was lots of food and drinks, with lots of people! We had to wear name tags, and so I made sure Sawyer got one too.

On the way home Sunday, mom and I were waiting for flights in the Chicago Airport, when who should walk by.....John C Reilly! I asked for a picture, but he politely declined because he was with his kids. He did, however, ask my name, shake my hand, and wish me luck with my pregnancy! I did get some paparazzi shots though :)
