Almost 24 Weeks



It is now officially wedding season! Karl and I have been to a wedding the past two Saturdays and have many more to go this summer and fall. As the baby grows its getting harder to find dress clothes that fit so I might be wearing the same thing to every wedding I go to until after Ringo is born. This weekend we enjoyed a quick trip to Nick and Megan's wedding in Cincinnati (Covington, KY actually but its basically Cincinnati). Nick was Karl's roommate freshman year in the dorms and they became fraternity brothers, he was also in our wedding. The wedding was in the evening so we just drive down Saturday afternoon and had fun visiting with friends and the wedding was beautiful. The weather was great and Sunday we had plans to go to the Cubs-Reds game at Great American Ballpark with the Benders. Its a nice park but we were surrounded by all Cubs fans and I swear they are the most annoying sports fans in the world! It was really hot and sunny so the baby was cooking in the sun but with a nice breeze it wasn't too bad. The game ended up going into extra innings but we left after 9 so we could get home and pick up Ella from her grandparents. We listened to the game and it finished up about the time we got to Indianapolis after 14 innings.

This week we are approaching week 24 and Ringo is the size of an ear of corn. Only 4 more weeks to go and I will be in the homestretch- the third trimester. I am feeling great and am able to eat more and enjoy it. The bump looks like a nice round soccer ball and is getting noticeably bigger each week. We have started to get things moved around the house to make room for baby and both sides of the family are busy planning showers so we will be prepared when he/she decides to arrive...right now we have nothing. Next week we are off to Florida for our final vacation before the baby comes. My marketing conference is in Orlando late next week so we are heading out Saturday for a few extra days of sun and relaxation together. I plan to take full advantage of the pregnant lady swimsuit I bought! We also have plans to go to the Rays game on Sunday in Tampa and visit SeaWorld before I have to do work things on Thursday. We can't wait!
