Thoughts

I'm going to say something I never thought I'd say: I love being pregnant.  This may sound crazy to Cory because he hears me complain almost hourly, but I do love it, at least most of it...  I love knowing that there is a little baby that is depending on me to keep him healthy and strong.  I love having a little piece of Cory and me all rolled into one little human.  I love imagining what that little human may end up looking like.  I love feeling the kicks and rolls and nudges.  

Yes, sometimes the kicks are waaaay too high up in my ribs and make me feel like he has broken at least all of them, and yes, sometimes my back hurts so bad I want to cry, and yes, sometimes I feel like a walking ad for obesity and exhaustion all rolled into one, and yes, sometimes I would give anything just to be able to lay down and feel comfortable again.  But! These things never outweigh the joy that it is to know that I will soon get to know the baby boy with whom we've already fallen in love. That is why I say I love being pregnant.  And in 20 minutes, I'll say I hate it. :)  But for now, let's all feel good about me saying I love it. Okay?

One month to go! We celebrated Cory's spring break with a little Babymoon to Niagara Falls.  One last hurrah before April 5th rolls around.  

We're Going to Boston!

Yes, it's true! In a couple of weeks Cory and I will be in Boston for 6 days!! I cannot wait to go. I've never been even remotely close to the east coast, so this will be a totally new experience for me. Cory absolutely drools over everything Boston, so I will have the best tour guide ever. We don't have much planned as of now, but I'm sure there will be lots of seafood (for Cory), baseball (for us both), and some shopping? :) Maybe. But I know for sure that it will be a blast. [Actually, as a side note, my straightener broke a couple of weeks ago and I was just going to make do until Christmas or something, but since humidity and my hair are not friends, I just bought one yesterday! :)]  When we were dating, Cory and I both found that we shared a strong love and desire to travel.  When we were married we set up a separate account called "World Traveling Fund".  This is our first trip using that fund and we are more than elated to be doing it! I wish we could be going with friends or family, but this will be such a nice trip for just the two of us as well. Especially since my crazy semester of 19 credits will be starting up very (too) soon. We both have been working full time this summer, which means zero outdoor time. We. Are. Dying.  Like I'm whiter than I am in the winter.

Even whiter than winter white!

Just for looks... :)

 Not too fun. We are, however, a little tentative about spending so much in one week-especially after such a grueling summer of work. It's amazing how much things add up when you are on vacation; breakfast, lunch, dinner, outings, adventures, etc., are not cheap! I have been looking on Groupon and LivingSocial in Boston everyday for deals on things we may be interested in. I haven't found anything yet, but maybe all of my hard work will pay off and we'll save money on something! I'm just so excited!
