17 weeks

Sorry for the delay in posts, it's been a whirlwind around here the past few weeks! Work has been extremely busy and I feel like we've been home very little lately.

Dave and I went for a long weekend to vist my best friend in Indianapolis for Labor Day. On the way we stopped at Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright's most famous house. We left Thursday night and stopped in Uniontown PA for the night then Friday morning we toured the house and went on our way to Indy.

Fallingwater is amazing, if you haven't been it's well worth the trip. If I lived there like the Kauffman's did I'd never go inside, the scenery and feeling you get out on the decks is truly breathtaking. Being a lover of great architecture I was also amazed at his ability to create such a stunning home that defied engineers of the time.





Indy was also great. I hadn't seen Nikki and Mark since they had their baby, Drew, last March. He's such a doll and I miss Nikki even more after being there. We did a little bit of the expected tourists stuff, went to a Rib Fest on Saturday and pretty much just hung out the rest of the time and caught up. After knowing Nikki for over 20 years I still can sit and talk to her for hours reminiscing about our childhood.

Drew is now 6 months old and will be about a year when our baby is born. He's sooo dang cute and such a good baby, I hope ours is as well natured and wonderful as he is.


We left Indy on Monday morning and hit the road headed for Indiana, PA to visit Dave's grandad in the hospital. Please say a prayer for him... he's 93 and we're hoping he gets better and gets home soon.

We made it home at midnight last night and I am truly exhausted after a long day of work. I can't wait to hit the pillow tonight and will hopefully catch up on some needed rest. I've been dreaming very vividly but waking up tons during the night with screaming back pains. I'm hoping that will subside soon. If not, the chastity pillow might make it's appearance again :) (Chastity pillow: the huge "U" shaped pregnancy pillow that takes up 3/4 of the bed and keeps Dave far far far away. Needless to say he doesn't like it much)

Some good news to end the post ... I have definately been feeling the baby move these days. It's incredible to know that the little one is in there moving around and growing like a weed. Did I mention my belly is growing like a weed too? I'll post pics soon.

Oh, and before I forget...don't forget to post comments, I'd love to hear from all of you!

Off to bed, love to all.
