Weekend Fun!!

So last weekend I was in San Diego for the Far West Athletic Trainers Association annual meeting. I went with a co-worker and friend, Allison. She went to college in the area, so we were looking forward to visiting some old stomping grounds of hers.

We managed to catch the second half of a double header baseball game on Saturday.


Good times at the game


Dessert at Ghiradelli's, yum.

We had a great time in San Diego, I got to meet a lot of Allison's professors and colleagues from Point Loma, and the conference was pretty good too. We had some serious weather Friday, but overall it was great. Had a good time with my friend. Though, I will say hotel beds are not as comfy when 6 months pregnant.

Kevin brewed some beer while I was gone, his Friday the 13th brew Camp Blood. He enjoyed his lazy weekend alone I think.

Yesterday we celebrated Allison's birthday at her house, that was lots of fun. We had a pool party/BBQ. Some of our co-workers came and partied it up, while I enjoyed my lemonade.

Hi Drew!

So today Kevin went off with our cigar buddies to have some man time with them, and smoke his cigars, which he doesn't get to do very often anymore. I'm having Sushi lunch with some girls today, very excited about that. Don't worry, I know what I can and can't eat.

In other exciting news, today is the first day of my third trimester, and marks 3 months to go! Jackson is celebrating by rockin and rollin today.

So far, the worst thing is...

So I've had a pretty easy go of things. Nothing I can really complain about. But on Tuesday, I encountered what could possibly be the worst thing ever about my pregnancy....


Thin Mints gave me heartburn.


Like, immediately.


Now, I've been chewing tums since about week 5 with this baby, so heartburn is nothing new, but this was devastating. I usually can't pinpoint exactly what caused the said heartburn, so I just go along with tums in every place possible (bedroom, bathroom, work...). But this was clear. A food I can directly avoid to reduce the uncomfortable burning....which is only going to get worse as baby grows. To make matters even more tragic, I have an order of Thin Mints coming to me!! Do I dare eat and suffer the consequences? Would you?

In other news, we had our 18 week checkup this week. My doc found the heartbeat immediately (I guess its good she's better at it than I am). She says everything looks good, baby is growing and is located right where baby is supposed to be in my belly. She also said "Well, by 24-26 weeks, you'll really start showing." Ummm...excuse me!!! Please reference the previous post where I linked to a photo of my ever expanding belly....if that isn't showing, what is 8 more weeks going to look like!!!

Anyway, enough about me. Kevin's birthday is this coming Monday, and we're celebrating Saturday with friends and family. If you would like to come and either didn't get my email, or changed your mind, just let me know! A big Happy Birthday to my hubby!!!
