the crowe's nest: August 2011

Wow! Time has flown by. I can't believe I'm almost halfway through!! Today, I am 18 weeks 4 days... 3 days away from finding out the gender, if it's not hiding the goods that is. Our appointment is at 11 am and should take 1-1/2 hours. We both have to go back to work (for AC, he can't tell his dad and for me I have hungry co-workers who are dying to know!). We're going to my parents to meet Steve and Kathy, my sister and her family, and Matt and Lisa via skype. Our plan is to do cupcakes with frosting the color of the gender, unless I get more creative before Wednesday. We can't wait... and neither can our families. I woke up thinking it was definitely a boy... so we'll see what the next few days brings and if my "motherly intuition" changes!

Our dear friends Danae and Travis were married July 23rd. Danae and I have known each other since the 6th grade, kindred spirits. It was an amazing wedding. Her sisters, new sister in law and I got ready with her, ooed and awed at her beauty, and then couldn't believe it was all over. It was magical. The decorations were beautiful. The bride and groom were glowing... the whole night. AC and I went to the fair a few days ago with the Armentano's (Danae's sister and brother in law), and the new Berge's! We got to see their tan Tahitian color and find out how their honeymoon was. I love friend dates. So grateful we are surrounded by awesome friends.
