Pitty party over!

Well, after re-telling the wedding weekend story many times, I can do it with a smile- and recognize that projectile vomiting in a church is pretty unusual and funny. Plus Jen's been so sweet, she puts it all in perspective.
Justin still hasn't been able to feel the baby ("Jackary" is my joke name for him, much to Justin's chagrin)- but finally saw him kick the other day- yey!!
I swear he's grown since Saturday- ever since I was sick, I feel full of baby, and very very big. I dunno. But I definitely look and feel pregant!
Ooo- and fun other news- another friend and co-worker had her baby on Monday. Between the two of us, Justin and I know 4 babies born in the last few months (8 in the last year)- its so fun to be part of a growing network of parents!

Worst pregnancy weekend

SO everyone probably knows that Jennifer and Andy were getting married this weekend- I talked about it non stop and I've been so excited! I skipped work on Friday to do fun pre-wedding stuff, went to the batchelorette party (at Skate Country- so fun!), got our nails done, had a wonderful bridal brunch, and then had a great rehearsal and dinner.
Thats when the fun ended. Friday night I got really really sick (read- uber morning sickness). Ultimately we went to the hospital early Saturday morning and spent several hours there with Justin sweetly sitting by my bed while I went in and out of a medicated doze- the good news is the baby was kicking around and doing fine. We left the hospital at 9am, in time for a nap before getting ready for the wedding. My mom came over to do my hair (since I missed the hair appointments), my make up, and got me ready since I was still feeling lousy. We got to the church, where I spent a little time with Jennifer- these are moments I will cherish.
Soon thereafter, Justin and I were sitting int he church waiting for picture when I vomited all over my hair, dress, shoes, the pew, and the floor. Great. Justin got me washed up for one picture with Jen. Then we left. My biggest disappointment in this pregnancy: I completely missed Jennifer and Andy's wedding.
Jennifer is one of my best friends and married her perfect partner. I did get to see what a beautiful bride she was, and I got to see the exchange of vows during the rehearsal, but I missed the real thing. I know they will have a lifetime of happiness and we'll all look back at this as a memorable story, but I'm still shocked and really upset that I missed it. Justin promises I can lord this story over the baby when he's older.... I'm so lucky to have such understanding and good hearted friends, and such an amazing, caring, and supportive husband.
And yes, I'm lucky that despite all the craziness going on in my body the baby continues to thrive- what a relief.

Baby Room





Here is our baby room thus far. We painted 3 walls a nice yellow color and 1 wall a cool blue color. As you can see our bedding is Nojo Jungle animal theme. We love the entire setup! Soon I will paint some of the animals onto the walls.
