Nick and I kicked off a wonderful holiday weekend last Friday with our weekly OB appointment. It was a bit disappointing that my doc said that Ryker nor I had made any progress from the week before, but I was glad that everything was within normal limits number wise. After our appointment, I picked up the embroidery I had done for Ryker. I LOVE how it all turned out...
Once I got home from all my errands, Nick and I headed out to do some shopping. The most important shopping we did was pretty much finishing up our registry at Babies 'R' Us. We finally got the swing, breast pump, and quite a few other things we wanted but hadn't received. It was fun! I couldn't get Nick outta the store this time...I loved that! After a quick trip to PetSmart and Costco, we headed home and enjoyed going through all our purchases and hanging out that night.
Saturday was a pretty laid back day. We were able to get some things done here at the house in the morning, and that afternoon we met up with one of Nick's co-workers, Austin, and his fiance, Megan. We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and headed out to the Astros game after that. We had really good seats, and we had a good time despite the Astros losing (and not scoring until the 9th inning). The game was against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and unfortunately, we were just a couple rows in front of a FANATICAL Diamondbacks fan. She was yelling the ENTIRE game, and Megan decided that our group should drink every time she yelled out in support of her team. So creative. :) Needless to say...I drove home everyone home that night. :) It was a fun night, though, even for me. Nick said he doesn't think he can ever drink Bud Light again, but I am hopeful he can. We shall see.

Sunday morning brought errands, yardwork and more cleaning here at the house. Our neighbors had a BBQ that evening so we went to Clint and Jackie's house that afternoon. It was nice to see everyone again and hang out since we don't know how many days we have left before, as Nick calls it "Threat Level Midnight", occurs. The guys played ladder ball while the girls did a lot of talking. Go figure. After an evening of good food, friends, and visiting, we walked back home and called it a night.
Nick woke up with a wild hair on Monday, and he decided to go look at Honda Pilots. We have talked about the fact that eventually my CR-V won't be big enough for kids, dogs, and the way I pack, but we weren't really looking into doing anything about it soon. Nick set out alone, and I stayed here and waited for a visit from my SA friend, Kimberly. She was in the area to drop off her daughter at her momma's house for the week. It was so nice to see her and visit again...I miss her a lot more than she knows. <3 We were able to talk and catch up on many things, and she got to see the home improvements we have done and Ryker's nursery. I wish our visit would have been longer, but she had to head back to SA that afternoon.
Nick and I went out for a late lunch after that and then onto the Honda dealership. They still had my car since Nick drove home a Pilot for me to check out. After looking around the lot and doing a bit more talking, we were the proud new owners of a 2011 Honda Pilot EXL! It's crazy how much bigger and heavier it feels, but I already LOVE it. It has a silver exterior with black leather inside. I am very STOKED about the back-up camera, the XM radio, and the 3rd row of seating. I have definitely upgraded to a momma mobile. :) Here's some pics of her...
Overall it was a VERY busy, but great, weekend. Now I am ready to relax and keep my feet up some this week. Ryker countdown is on...
