Just for Kicks

I'll try and recap the last few weeks in some kind of sensible way. We took the team up to Indiana three weekends ago (June 6th - 10th). The trip went great, I drove with the team Wednesday (our anniversary) as Bonnie flew, we spent Thursday at the lake, Friday at Lester's farm and a scrimmage at Leo, Saturday tournament at IWU, pool party in Danville, and Sunday at Cincinnati for Mike's camp and back to Atlanta. The trip, although a complete whirlwind, was definitely worth it looking back on it, there were a few weeks in there we were doubting whether it would happen.

 We spend our 'weekend off' of going to Indiana trying to find a blueberry farm with Jon and Vanessa, in a very roundabout way we ended up at a gem out near Athens. Bon has done a great job finding recipes for the blueberries, then we took a bunch up to Danville.

Bean is growing so fast it is crazy. Besides size (small cantaloupe, I say softball, see below post...) the coolest change is Bonnie is feeling kicks! I felt one today for the first time, it was way cool. 20 weeks in means half way home.  We had an appointment last week and heard the heartbeat again, Dr Cook's words were "Strong and steady, sounds like a boy!" It is so cool to hear. Mary and Laura are coming down in two weekends for the 22 week ultrasound.

This past weekend we went up for Bonnie's baby showers and Tyler Morningstar's wedding. The wedding was fun, it happens so rarely now but it is always great to see all of the Leo guys. Everyone was there except Kyle, Rhys was born this week. The guys also played our fantasy football golf round at Walnut Creek Sunday morning, Ray hit a birdie putt on 18 to beat Adam. My driver broke on the 2nd hole, not sure if I will get another one or get it fixed.

Laura threw Bonnie's shower on Saturday in Danville and Casie threw one on Sunday. It sounded like they went great, Bonnie was especially excited to see Tony Jo. Everyone was so gracious, there are definitely quite a few things we got to check off for Bean. The crib came the Monday we got back (yesterday) and I put it together, it looks great! Third time was the charm.

Cribs

Bonnie's pregnancy has gone very well over the last few weeks. She is on week 18 and this week especially really started to show. These baby websites drive me pretty crazy because from weeks 13 to 18 the fruits have all been the same size and, in some cases, even sent me to google (kumquat? really?). To me a much more natural progression would be marble, golf ball, raquet ball, tennis ball, bocce ball, softball, etc. Oh well.

In other Bean News we registered a few weeks ago at Babies R Us and Target. Today we returned crib number 2. The first one we got off Craigslist and ended up selling it back (drop-side) and the second one we bought from Wal-Mart and came out of the box with a few healthy chunks out of it. More to come on this later...

We drove up to Indiana with the Kims for Memorial Weekend. Bonnie spent the weekend in Danville, she got to visit Erin with Natalie and also meet Finley. I was up between Leo and the Lake for the Clark Olympics, it was an awesome few days for sure. We are going up again this upcoming Wednesday with the basketball team, should be another adventure.

The rest of the pictures are of Jeff and Tiff's awesome boys. Josh and Caleb had a blast with our animals, as you can see. We had a great time with them all week, a few highlights included Jeff and Neil coming to practice one day, Fox Brothers, IKEA, and Phase 10.

First time experiencing Antico's goodness

18th week!
