Long Weekend!

My 3 day weekend started out great!

Friday night Jacob and I went over to the Bates' for supper. I don't think I've posted on here yet, but we're trying to spend as much time as we can with them, because in a little over a month they're moving to Nebraska. It's going to be hard to lose our friends, but we're happy for them at the same time. I mean...how could you not miss these little faces?

Jack informed me that I'm having a boy. His name will be Michael when he's little and John when he gets bigger. But he's also going to be a girl when he gets older. We thought that was pretty funny! He also held a banana up to my stomach to see how long the baby is this week. It was so cute.

We ended up staying until just after midnight before finally heading home.

I woke up early yesterday morning. So much for sleeping in! My throat was killing me. It had started hurting late Friday afternoon and just got worse overnight. ( I miss NyQuil!). Jacob woke up a lot later, but felt crappy too, so he spent most of the day on the couch. I decided I already had plans to go to Springfield and I was still going to do it.

First I had to get my 20 Week Pictures taken! Halfway there!

Jacob keeps referring to the baby as "he" and I have to say that I'm starting to lean more and more to thinking it's a boy too. Hopefully we'll find out Friday...the baby just has to cooperate and show off the goods. Haha!

I got to Springfield just after noon and had to stop and have lunch at Panera first. Then I went to Target to start the baby registry. Jacob left that one up to me! When I got there they said they were out of scanners so I could wait if I wanted to or I could come back another day. Well, I wasn't going to come back, so I waited. I asked them to page me when one was available, which they did....just as I reached the complete opposite side of the store! Got started and the scanner died.  Walked back up and traded it for another and I was almost finished with the registry and that stupid thing died too! I ended up giving up and just calling it good for now. I only started it now because I had a coupon for a $20 Target gift card if I started a registry before July 6th.  It was fun picking things out though and I felt less stressed about this one than our wedding one.

Here's a link to the registry (mostly for the grandma's at this point!)

I used the giftcard on some diapers and wipes and a few other things. My favorite purchase was this bib!

Once I finished there I went to Bath and Body Works because they were having a big sale, so I scored some great deals! I got home a little before 5 and Jacob and I just laid on the couch feeling crappy all night.

We ended up staying home from church today. My throat is feeling better than it was, but I'm getting a cough now...totally saw that one coming. It's my 4th of July curse. So, it's been a laid back day. I did some cleaning, and now I think I shall go watch a chick flick.
