An Amusing Day at the Amusement Park

Again this year Garmin sponsored a day at Worlds of Fun. So Neal and I and our friends John and Lauren headed down there and started right out riding the roller coasters. Well everyone but me. We made it through all the big roller coaster and some of them even twice. Since the park was closed to the public the lines were incredibly short. I was able to ride the train that goes through the park which was a nice ride.


Then we played some games. Neal tried to win me a frog but atlas his efforts were for not, but he did win me a clown fish stuffed animal by playing darts.


Right before we left the park we got our caricatures done. It turned out pretty good. The artist captured Neal's smile just perfectly!

Baby's First Baseball Game

Last Thursday May 3rd Neal and I went to the Royals/ Yankees game. We had great seats off of the first base line in the outfield. We were in prime foul ball area but unfortunately we did not get one, but there were some that came close. It was a close game and the Royals won 4-3.

Bump Update version 1.22-23-24

Since There has not been a Bump Update for a bit you get versions 1.22-23-24 all at once. These past few weeks have gone by pretty quick. Not much new just growing a baby that's all. During week 23 we had a doctors appointment and everything looks good. Measuring right on track. I also made all of our remaining doctors appointments. Its kind of crazy to think that we only have 9 left and one of those is after our due date so there maybe even less.
I am able to feel the baby moving a lot more! Neal has even been able to feel the baby more easily as well. He says it feels like feeling a heart beat. I thought that that was a good way of explaining how feeling the baby move feels.

Quote of the Day

Neal is not feeling well today and he just told Ne-J to leave him alone so he can be sick and miserable because he wont be able to for much longer since he will have to do dad things soon. Needless to say I just laughed and Ne-J is now pouting.

Bump Update version 1.21

21 weeks done 19 weeks to go. Wow, time has really gone quickly since finding out the we were pregnant. And I suspect that the next 19 weeks will go even more quickly as we prepare for the arrival of our little one! As I think of all the things that we have to do I get a bit overwhelmed but I think that it will be a ton of fun though. Getting the nursery ready which is the biggest part but I think that will be the most fun. Picking colors, getting a crib, getting a few clothes so our baby does not have to come home naked and has a place to sleep are just a few of the things we have to do. I am sure that I will forget a few things and frantically try to do them as the baby's arrival come closer...

Week 21

Bump Update

This last week was pretty cool,  I really started feeling the baby moving! Earlier this week I was at work just sitting there and there was pretty constant fluttering on and off all day.  Last week we had our doctors appointment and after looking at our sonogram our due date was moved up 9 days based on the babies measurements. Our date moved from August 30th to August 21st.

On March 29 we hit our 19 week mark.  So we are almost half way there!

End of week 17

Spring Break

For Neal's Spring Break from school we headed to Colorado. We were able to spend almost a week there which was great. We left Kansas City on Saturday after Neal got off of work. Then on Sunday we were able to hang out and that evening we had dinner with my family. Then on Monday we headed down to Colorado Springs to hang out with our friends Mike and Mallory and their kids. On Tuesday Neal went up to Winter Park to go Snow Boarding with his dad, Corinna and Dustin. During the day my mom and I were able to spend the day together, which was awesome!

 That evening we went over to Neal's dad's place for dinner. On Wednesday we meet with our friends Chris and Kami and their little girl Noelle for breakfast. We went to a place called Snooze which I do have to say was yummy. It was so good to be able to catch up with them. After breakfast we headed over to Ikea which just opened in Denver. Then we stopped by Corinna's new place and Neal helped them move in and I got to watch Gavin and I got to see him roll over!

That night we went out to dinner with my parents to a pizza place. After dinner we headed downtown to a coffee shop called St. Marks where we met Nathaniel and Katelyn and got to enjoy a cup of coffee and conversation with them. Then on Thursday we headed back to Kansas City.
