18 weeks and the Fourth of July

So, I'm sorry this is late (for all those that have been waiting)...but this was a bit of a crazy week at work and I was really worn out from the Fourth of July weekend so...needless to say, I have been going to bed at 8:30 for the past few days.

Anyway, the Fourth of July was awesome! We spent it at JC's family's lakehouse in Granbury with our friends Nate and Stacy. It was SO fun! I actually stayed up the latest that night of all of us...mostly because I didn't drink keg beer in the sun all day like everyone else. By the time fireworks were over at 10am, everyone was ready for bed and I was like, really? Let's hang out! Guess that is ONE perk of not being able to drink keg beer. :)

Last night JC and I went to the Taste of Dallas and had an awesome time. It was in the West End Historic District in downtown Dallas, which was a little hard to find, but we made it eventually. There were TONS of local food vendors with awesome food. It was so hot out though, I stayed hydrated with gatorade and JC did too...in between Blue Moon beer. We walked around forever looking for BBQ turkey legs, but couldn't find any because all of the BBQ vendors were sold out. So, JC ended up with some Mexican food and I had a BBQ sausage sandwich and an ice cream sundae. Go figure. We danced around to the music and people watched...well, mostly baby watched. We watched a 9 month old dance to Michael Jackson's Beat It in her stroller and almost DIED with laughter! It was so cute...she wanted to get out and bounce around to the beat so badly! Needless to say, we're very aware of little kids around us anymore.

JC went and got me a pregnancy pillow because the doctor said that I should be sleeping on my side now instead of my back. Something about how all of the pressure from the baby smashing my internal organs all night... What the hell? Now I have to sleep a certain way? Anyway, it's been hard to do that so , he suprised me with a special pillow to help me sleep on my side. What a sweetie, huh?

The big day to find out the sex of the baby is July 21st at 9:15am. We're counting down the days to that, we're very excited and of course, we'll share with all of you on the blog.
