So much Crazy

Hello Friends!

The title of this post has a double meaning... I know, I know, I'm super clever.  ;)

 There are so many things that have happened since my last post! Snaphot:

June:

• Raymond went to Iceland with his Dad and Brother for a boys week. They had a great time!

July:

•  I got more pregnant. (bigger that is, still only one in there)
• July 29th we found out we are having a BOY!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to play with this little guy
• Work was crazy for both of us. Raymond had tons of papers to write and present at different conferences. One of which brought him to Germany the week before we flew home.

August:

• Flew to New York and spend a lovely week with the Morehouse Family. It was relaxing and tons of fun. We went pontooning. shot fireworks, played ladder ball, ATE, went hiking, and cruised around in the Bronco and Falcon. (both convertible tops). We Loved getting to hang out with the Family and esp our awesome Nephews. 

 

• After New York we spent a week in Charlotte and had a very busy schedule! We did a lot of fun things like hanging out, shopping, geocaching, bowling, cornhole, and partying! My AMAZING sister-in-law Abby, my twiny Laura , and my Mom threw me an awesome baby shower where there was no games in sight. Let's just say I'm not a baby shower lover but this one rocked!

 

• I FINALLY got  to meet my ADORABLE niece Blair. I wanted to eat her up she was so precious. 

 

• We flew home and moved house!!! We LOVE our new place. Future blog to come when it's all decorated pretty!
•  I had just a few weeks to get ready for the big University of St Andrews 600th Academic Celebrations.

 September

• The 600th pretty much consumed my every waking hour. I put in an 87 hr work week the week of the event and was toooooo pooped to pop for the two weeks following. But the events went off without a hitch and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves! HORRAY! 
• I was hit on walking down the street!!!!!!!  

Arn't you super prego? Yes, yes I am. In all fairness this man in his 40s was riding a bike behind me so he didn't have that much time to notice my big bump. His cat call of choice was "Hey Gorgeous" I ignored him thinking he can't have meant me (there was no one else around). He said again "Hey Gorgeous" as he was creepily cycling super slowly behind me. This time I did respond. And this conversation ensued
 "You have GOT to be kidding me"
"What??? I can't call you gorgeous? I'm allowed to say you are gorgeous"  (cycles up beside me)
"This is not an appropriate way to approach strangers"
" Are you Pregnant???"
"VERY"
"Oh... yeah.... umm... congrats" (as he quickly veers down another street)

You meet all kinds in your life time.

• Mom and Dad came to visit us on their way to Israel. It was awesome to see them and we got tons of stuff organized and made a trip to Ikea! I'm still recovering from having to navigate while my Dad drove. Those big round-a-bouts are scary! He did great though. 
• Raymond and Dad played the Castle Course golf course overlooking St Andrews and they had a blast. Raymond is still learning! 

 

BABY UPDATE

 

He is a mover and a shaker! He's constantly wigglin' round and it has been SO much fun to feel him. We sing/talk to him often and Raymond is still demanding that he do the dishes, in his best "Dad Voice"  

I have been slightly emotional. Hence the name of this blog! I don't think I've ever cried or been more insecure as I have been while preggers. I cried/ started a fight with Raymond yesterday over Cheese!!!!! CHEESE??????? Oh My Lanta this man deserves an award for having to put up with me. 

Y'all need to pray for him. 

Later Days
