Birthday weekend

This last weekend was my birthday and for some reason I was so stinking excited to turn 25!! I had one of the best birthdays ever! It was so relaxing and fun at the same time. My younger sister got me a ton of bath products from Lush. And let me tell you, if you haven't tried anything of theirs you must! They have so may bath products that I love, I definitely can't pick just one thing. My parents got me my favorite meal at Panera Bread, which is a U-pick 2 with a cup of Broccoli Cheddar and a 1/2 of a Frontega Chicken Panini, and a Chocolate Duet Cookie (those are to die for!!) They also gave me a card Will painted for me with some cash. Jack didnt really get me anything, but I'll take going out to lunch at LJS (my guilty pleasure). I did get myself something a pair of marernity jeans and a top from GAP. So I'd say I made out like a bandit on gifts.

Jack and I later than night went to the Omaha Fashion Week Finale with friends. It was my first time there and I must say, I will be going back next year. Thanks Marlina and Dusty!!!! We had VIP tickets to the event and our table was right infront  of the runway!! There was also yummy sweet/snacks at the table I took part in but had none of the bottle of Grey Goose and mixers. I rolled with the shirley temples, and were they yummy! The designer collections were amazing and so much fun to watch! Since we were VIP-ers we had a mini red carpet to walk and got our picture taken at the end of it. Well the gal incharge of this red carpet deal liked my outfit so much she had asked me to take a photo without Jack, so i did. I was quite shocked, thank goodness they didnt ask who I was wearing! I might have been a little embarrassed to say.

As for this week, nothing too exciting. I'm 17 weeks along and starting to feel MUCH better finally. No weight gain yet wich is pretty amazing. I was a little worried, but I have noticed I can eat about anything and everything I want this week. So my guess is I'll be gaining some weight in the next week. I also have started to feel much more movement from my little baby bean this week, which is always exciting. I have also started to show much more this week than last, I think its time to break out the camera to take weekly pictures of my ever growing baby belly. Well its almost the weekend and I sooo can't wait for the Husker game on Saturday. Just like I'm sure most of us Nebraskans are!! I can't decide what I want to make for the game, everything sounds so yummy to me right now! but anywho.... GO BIG RED!!!!
