The Inside Scoop:
This week has been good, busy, but good! I had a prenatal appointment (both baby and I are doing well), the lawn is freshly mowed (thanks hubby!), I’ve got my toes all pedicured up (the leg massage part of a pedicure is a preggo woman’s heaven!), I picked out some fabric to make the baby a blanket, renewed my CPR certification, and a I’ve got a new pair of shoes! And this week isn’t over yet, because my brother is getting married tomorrow! We (and by we, I mean not really me) have been getting things ready for the big day for a while now, so I am excited it is finally almost here! His beautiful fiancee is a perfect fit for him and we are glad to be adding her to our family. You might see some pics on my instagram feed of the fab food and fun we’ll be having tomorrow!
