This is my last week in the "twenties" of pregnancy. So crazy! Time seems to be flying by, which I hope continues because Jason and I are getting very excited to meet our little girl! Jason and I are trying to take advantage of all the things we love to do that will become more difficult when our sweetie arrives. Date nights are my favorite! I love going out to dinner and a movie with my man.
Happier than a kid pregnant women in a candy shop :)
My new favorite "pregnancy addition" to our movie dates, is a sweet (pun intended) little candy shop that is conveniently located right next door to the theater. I have been all about sour candy lately, and they have a self serve jelly bean station. Of course I wanted to try just about every flavor, and they charge by the pound -- bad combo. I spent roughly $10 on these little sour yummies, but loved every single one of them :)

Other news, I had my first bout of Pregnancy Brain this week! I've heard about this happening, but like other things, I sometimes feel like it won't happen to me... until it does. I am now a believer, pregnancy brain is a very real thing.
I was flying home to Maine to visit my family and friends, and while booking my ticket online I kept going back and fourth between Wednesday and Thursday to see which day I would find a better deal. In my mind I was flying home Wednesday, end of story. I told everyone that was the day I would be home, and had Jason drive me to the airport before heading into work that morning. I had everything figured out -- my Dad would meet me in Boston to pick me up, and then we would spend a fun father daughter day driving back along to coast, making some scenic stops along the way. That would have worked out perfectly! If indeed, I booked my ticket for Wednesday....
Jason dropped me off at the airport. I go right in, and begin the self service check in. The machine proceeded to quickly spit out a ticket reading "you cannot check in more then 24-hours before your flight" WHAT! I quickly realize that maybe I scheduled myself to fly home on Thursday after all. I wait in line to ask the desk agent if there was anyway I could get on the Wednesday flight (same exact flight, time and everything.) I put on my best "please help me I am a stranded pregnant women" face, which was totally wasted because she was no help. With a smile, she told me that of course I could get on that flight for a mere small charge of an additional $200. Welp, that's a no go.
I called Jason to come rescue his damsel in distress, and upon getting back into the car immediately start sobbing completely overwhelmed with pregnancy hormones. Jason is so sweet to me, and insisted that it was no big deal, and that he had done the same thing before (I know he was lying just to make me feel better, but I still appreciated him not laughing at me.)
SO, long story short... that was our airport practice run. We repeated the exact same routine on Thursday morning, in a very deja vu way (down to I wore the same comfy cute outfit, and we made the same coffee and bagel pit stop on our way to the airport round two.) The only thing that didn't work out the same, was my Dad had to work Thursday so he could not pick me up in Boston. Luckily, my girlfriend Becca saved me. I hoped a bus to New Hampshire, where she picked me up, and we went out to lunch and walked around a cute coastal city. I am always SO excited to see Becca, but I was even more excited this time because I had yet to meet her beautiful daughter who was born in April. Oh. My. Goodness. she is an absolutely gorgeous baby girl! Check out this beautiful babe:
I was SO excited to meet Little Miss Taylor Mae, but apparently I was boring her.
It's so fun to see my friend become a mom! She is doing such a good job, and I can't wait to join her in this exciting new chapter of our lives, motherhood!!! I can't wait for our baby girls to meet and become instant besties just like their mommas :)
