An Eventful Weekend

I've still been slacking on keeping this up to date.

I had another really nice weekend. On Friday after I got off work we went to Springfield. We ate supper at Outback with a gift card that I got. It was really yummy...although I had to get my steak well done (another one of those pregnancy guidelines), when I usually like a little pink. Still tasty though.

We've had some Target gift cards to use and Jacob had a video game he wanted to buy. My mind was set on getting a new camera. I've had some issues with mine for probably a year, but they're getting worse. Mostly there's a huge delay when I go to take a picture if I have to use the flash. I've loved this camera so much, but I had the money and felt like it was time for an upgrade. I knew I wanted to stick with a point and shoot, but couldn't decide between sticking with a Canon, which I've always used, or switching to Nikon. After  looking at my options, I decided to stick with Canon. And of course...they didn't have the one I wanted in stock! I ended up ordering it online today though and I'm excited to get it later this week. Hopefully I won't be disappointed! Cameras are my favorite new "toys" to play with.  I really just wanted to make sure that I had a better camera for when baby comes along and since I could use gift cards and birthday money it seemed like the perfect opportunity!

Yesterday afternoon I went to a scrapbooking crop party. Got to hang out with a couple of friends and met some other really nice women as well. I was FINALLY productive! I did a Make and Take card and then scrapbooked about 6 pages of our Disney trip last summer. We're planning to have another crop this summer and I'm really looking forward to doing it again.

When I got home last night, Jacob handed me an envelope and said he couldn't wait until today. It was a Mother's Day card for an expectant mom! I loved that he even thought to do that for me! Then at church this morning a few people who still hadn't heard that I was pregnant found out when our minister had all moms and moms-to-be stand up. Sandy gave me a shirt for the baby for Mother's Day too. A t-shirt that has Fred Bird and says, "Born to be a Cardinals Fan". Love it!

This morning for the first time, I couldn't get my dress pants to button. Well, I could, but they were cutting off circulation of half of my body! I have a belly band though. For those who don't know what that is, it's this handy elastic band that fits around your waist so you don't have to button your pants. It just holds them up for you but gives you more room to breath. Kind of exciting to know that the baby is growing! According to Baby Center the baby is about the size of a lime now. (It cracks me up that it compares the baby to random foods each week). I enjoy reading how baby grows each week though. I'm 12 weeks along now, which means that I'm nearing the end of the 1st trimester already. I have my 12 week appointment on Tuesday!

We just hung out at home this afternoon. We both talked to our moms. And then as a treat we went to DQ for dessert after supper tonight.

I'm sad the weekend is over already!
