May Already?

Currently....

I have my next prenatal appointment Thursday - I'm not scheduled for an ultrasound so we won't have a chance to find out the gender for another 4 weeks.  I've been feeling great, wearing mostly maternity pants because it's easiest and most comfortable, although I still fit into some of my regular pants.  I can't say for sure that I've felt any movement but I suspect some of what I can feel is the baby.

He has jury duty this week and Saturday I'm going to Villanova's engineering graduation ceremony to receive my award.  Also important to note - the Devils (Mike's hockey team) is still in the playoffs, so that is taking priority this week. :p

Three weekends ago we visited Kelly and Sean in Summit - it was our first visit to their new place.  We enjoyed seeing their apartment and the local area.  We walked a few blocks to a street festival where we looked at some art vendors and ate lunch, then we hung out at their apartment for the rest of the afternoon.   I was surprised with how big Kelly had gotten (sorry Kelly but it was true!).  It was a really nice visit.

Let's not forget cigar smoking on the street

Two weekends ago was Nicholas' First Communion.  I had a cold that whole week and wasn't going to go, so Mike went to the Mass alone.  Wouldn't you know that's the day I stopped sneezing and blowing my nose everywhere, so I was able to go later to the reception with Mom.  Afterward we stayed at Uncle Jeff and Aunt Lina's house for a few hours visiting.

Last Thursday was Kelly's graduation.  It was a really nice ceremony and ended up being a beautiful day (if a little cold).  Afterwards Kelly and Sean took the party out to dinner.  We got to visit with them, Mom, Dad, Sean's parents and Nana (and Karen for a brief minute).

Friday we went to a barbecue competition thing hosted by a local fire station.  It was really fun, we got to sample ribs from a bunch of different people and then rank our favorites.  Though none of the sauces were as good as Mike's.

Saturday we went to the Perkiomen trail and went for a 5 mile walk.  It was a gorgeous day!  We packed sandwiches and ate on the trail.

Mothers Day I got a box of cookies in the mail and a very sweet card.  I didn't know I qualified to get Mothers Day things this year!  We ran into Mom at church - she got me some roses that were being sold to raise money.  Since Dad left for Switzerland Sunday afternoon, we had Mom over for dinner.  I had requested spaghetti (idk why just can't get enough of the stuff).  Mike made his own sauce - it was perfect. :)  I also got to go to my first weekly hour of Adoration and I was able to pray in front of the Blessed Sacrament for our moms, grandmothers and sisters (also moms).
