Weekend Update - Almost 16 weeks

This weekend was soooooo nice...

Friday we went to Doc's on Padre Island for a dinner party for Michael's squadron... it's a looooooong drive from Kingsville, but Doc's is a fun, yummy place and it was nice to chat with some people we hadn't seen in a while. I ordered a cranberry & sprite so it at least looked and felt a little more festive :)

Saturday was for cleaning, cooking, and football! Huskers won in an awesome/not-so-awesome game against Ohio State. We enjoyed a low key evening with BBQ pulled chicken from the crockpot and pumpkin pudding, which I also made in the crockpot. BTW, I found both of those recipes on Pinterest and they were delicious!

Transfer to crock pot coated with Pam.  Cover and cook on low 6-7 hours. Crockpot BBQ Beer Chicken



Sunday we went to church then headed to Corpus for shopping/dinner date. Michael was sweet enough to accompany me during a much-needed (and dreaded) trip to shop for some maternity clothes. The lady was very helpful so all Michael had to do was read all the post-game Huskers articles and give me his approval whenever I stepped out of the dressing room :) The belly pillow you put on to see how clothes will fit you a few months was a fun thing to see! I ended up with a couple pairs of jeans, leggings (ehhhh... not so sure about those yet), and a couple tops. Then we headed to Water Street for a late lunch/early dinner... it was pouring outside and we really enjoyed a leisurely meal watching the storms blow through.

Now it's back to work... and what a suprise this morning! I think I felt the first movements - little flutters almost like muscle twitches! Can't wait for our ultrasound appointment next week!
