What We've Been Up To

The last few weeks have just FLOWN by! I can't believe it's already the middle of July!!! It feels like the summer just started...except for the summer heat that has been baking us alive for the past two months. I'm not used to heat AND humidity. It is so hot here!
We had a good fourth of July. Tony was on-call but luckily he didn't have anything come up. So we hung out here, watched movies, etc. The day of the fourth it was pouring down rain! So even though we couldn't go out and do anything, it was nice to have the heat cooled off for fireworks that night.
We went to the park to see the fireworks and played card games while we waited for it to get dark.
The fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays so I'm glad the rain didn't ruin the fireworks! I look forward to them all year.

We put the crib together last week! We weren't planning on getting it so soon but we had this crib picked out and it went on sale. So now we have a crib that we stare at and talk about what it will be like when we actually have a baby in it.
Here it is!

My mom is making the bedding, which I am so excited about because if you know what my mom can do, you know it will be gorgeous, in a baby kind of way :)

We are 24 weeks along. I seriously can't imagine this stomach getting any bigger. I'm kinda scared to see what I look like in October...I told Tony that with all the teen pregnancies in the United States, every teenage girl should be shown a picture of or see a pregnant lady naked. That might make them think twice haha.

This past week we took an overnight trip to Oklahoma City, just to get away and have a change of scenery. We went to the Bricktown area and had a great time. The area is gorgeous and has a beautiful canal running through it, lots of awesome restaurants and event centers.
We got there Thursday night and ate at The Bourbon Street Cafe where we listened to live jazz music and tried alligator for the first time.
It was surprisingly good...tasted like a mix of chicken and calamari? That's how I would describe it. After that we walked along the canal and enjoyed the scenery.

We discovered Sonic's headquarters are here, along the canal. Which maybe explains why in our town there are four sonics within 15 miles of each other! They are everywhere!It was a nice relaxing getaway and I'm so glad we were able to go!
That pretty much sums up our fast few weeks. My sisters are coming out on Tuesday to visit for a whole week! We are so excited and can't wait for them to get here!

hahah you crack me up.. I'm not even a teen, but if I saw a pregnant lady naked I'm sure I wouldn't want a kid! Your crib is so so so cute! I bet the bedding will be AMAZING! Also I love sonic drinks and am sorta jealous you got to see the headquarters!

Megan! Where are you guys? We are in Texas and you were probably less than 5 hours from us, that used to seem like a far ways, but now that we're so far from everyone we know, it seems like you were so close! Love the crib!

You probably don't feel it, but you really are so so so cute! I'll have to keep that whole "naked pregnant woman" thing in mind when I teach my students about safe-sex and what not! hahahaha, you're awesome! (sorry, I found your blog on Emily's page...stalkerish--I know!)
