Midweek Randoms

• So, picking up where we left off... Criminal Minds wasn't on but Kayla, Felicity and I ate some Subway and hung out for a bit anyway. 

• That night I had the strangest feelings. They weren't like the typical braxton hicks I've felt but they weren't like the cramps I've felt either. It was like a horrible combination of the two. I must say, I wasn't a fan. Not sure what they were all about but thankfully they went away during the night. I plan to ask my doctor about them today. Oh - and so I don't forget later on - a little funny. =) That night, in addition to the contractions, I was having pretty intense lower back pain. I had been in the recliner most the night and was also super hot. When Dac kindly agreed to rub my back he noticed it was very red. He said "wow, your back is really red, does that mean something?" I just giggled and said "yes, it means I'm HOT!" =) Poor guy - I know he was just concerned and not knowing what to think. I got a kick out of it. =)

• Dac came across this article. I find it kind of silly but I'm all for going with it! =)

• The next day I spent time cleaning and once I was worn out from that, we watched 24. I rather enjoy my recliner.

• I took a vacation day Friday to rest up and prepare for the weekend's wedding. It was needed and appreciated, that's for sure. I did laundry, cleaned, charged batteries, and packed all our camera gear, and caught up on some TV online including this season's SVU premiere (whoa) and the Chicago Fire pilot (which I loved). 

• Saturday was the big day. The day I'd been anxious for and, at times, downright nervous about. A long day at an out of town wedding - 32 weeks pregnant. Yikes. BUT - it was a wedding we had been looking forward to for months - before we knew there would be a baby. It was for a fun couple, outside, on OSU's campus. HELLO. It was my dream wedding come true! ha! We had our photo friend Jennifer Miller join us and I'm so glad we did. She helped take a lot of the pressure off me, she climbed on chairs when I couldn't, and gave us both such peace of mind. Not to mention it was fun! =) I could get used to that three photographers business. =) Anyway, the day (though cold) went better than I could have imagined and we're both relieved it went smoothly. Plus, the couple, their friends, and their family made it so much fun. Perfect! =) Oh - and PS - Pistol Pete made a surprise guest appearance at the reception. So here's Pop Tart's first picture with THE cowboy. (excuse the back-of-the-camera shot, ha!)

• While we were out, my parents came down and finished painting our trim in the family room and hallway. SO thankful for that help.

• Sunday, we attempted to sleep in. I failed. So I got up and did laundry, etc... Then we went on a little post wedding day lunch date to Gambino's. Pretty sure I've officially outgrown most booths. The table was digging in to my belly. 

• I worked on culling through images from the wedding and then went to Journey's super cute Doc McStuffins birthday party. Yeah, she's 4 now. Where the heck has the time gone? Oy. 

• I attempted cleaning when I got home, but guys, I was pooped. SO, instead - we heated up some chili and watched 24 the rest of the night. =) I really don't even feel guilty about it. TIRED I tell you!

• A sweet girl whose blog I've followed for a few years lost her husband in a car accident this weekend. I'm just heart broken for her. I've followed her blog through her husband's health problems a few years back, through their struggle with infertility, through having their sweet baby girl (who is just now 10-months old). I can't imagine. They are an incredibly sweet couple/family and have definitely been in my prayers this week. It just isn't ok. =(

• Like I mentioned earlier - it's Dr. day today. As far as I know it'll just be a normal check up with a couple vaccines thrown in too. WOOO! =/ Goals for the day include: not gaining more than 4 lbs and getting a good, healthy report! =)
