14 weeks

I'm 14 weeks!

The baby is a size of a lemon.

He or she is 3.4 inches and 1.5 ounces

This week the baby will start to suck his/her thumb and wiggle his/her toes.

Interesting fact about me this week: I am craving corn flakes. 

I have been eating 2 bowls for breakfast and dinner.

Baby stuff

I have been looking at baby stuff online as we prepare to start our registry.  Thankfully I have a few friends that have had children in the last few years and have updated me on all the things I "need" to have and all the things that are nice to have.

These are a few of the things I have found online that I like.  I have been using the babiesrus website and the parental ratings to find the products I think will work best.

Any suggestions or comments?  I still am looking at a ton of options, but these are my favorite so far.

Fisher-Price Newborn Rock & Play Sleeper

Fisher-Price Jumperoo - Rainforest

Graco Pack 'n Play Portable Playard with Newborn Napper Station - Laguna Bay

Ben is 30!

Ben turned 30 on Friday and we had a party for two on Friday night with presents, dinner, and a movie (Cowboys and Aliens is really good).  Saturday we had dinner with some friends at King Street Blues where Ben ate a ton of ribs and then everyone came back to our house for drinks and cake.  I took a few pictures of Ben on his 30th birthday...

Every year I do a "theme" for Ben's birthday. 

This year it was 30 for 30.  He got 30 presents for turning 30.

Ben's favorite gift (a chin-up bar)

He immediately put it together

And then tested it out.

Thanks to all our friends that helped make Ben's birthday wonderful!

Ben and I are super excited, thank you to everyone for the well wishes!

America's past time

Wednesday night, Ben and I went to the Nationals Game where our home team Nats took on the Florida Marlins.  It was HHS night at the ball park and we sat with Ben's old co-workers.

Our seats were so high, you could see the entire stadium.  :)

We had a blast and it wasn't too hot!

Teachers love summer!

This week I hung out with Kelly and Pari.  We went to the pool a few times, out to eat, kayaking, and walked around Georgetown.  It's really hard to be a teacher during summer.

We played this dart game at Buffalo Wild Wings

I won these awesome sunglasses!

Just another day of summer vacation
