Well we are back from Ohio and had a grand time! The plane ride was not a happy way to travel 1/2 way to baby, but I can imagine that it is better than with a newborn! We realized that Sprout does NOT like acceleration. During the flight Sprout would curl up as tiny as possible at the back of my body and then every so often would swim up to the front and kick me really hard. Little stinker!
Ohio was so much fun. Had a lot of great times showing off the belleh to relatives. Grandma and Grandpa felt Sprout move so thats a plus! Dave did not use his designated driver card at all, which makes me think he may try to just build them all up and cash them in at a later date.
Friday morning we were picked up at the airport by Grandma, ate some Goetta and took naps. After Grandpa came home he raved about a place that was on Food Networks Diners, Dives and Drive Ins. We had AMAZING hamburgers at Terry's Turf Club. wow - believe the hype! And that ain't just the preggo woman speaking. Dave was speechless. Then it was on to UDF for fantastic milk shakes! MMMM!
Saturday we had more Goetta and then went to Oktoberfest. That was SO fun! A whole festival dedicated to food! (ok ok beer too but that doesn't involve me even non-preggo) Had Brauts, Mac&Cheese with Goetta and a GINORMOUS creme puff. mmmmmmmmmm! We went home and took a nap again then went out to hang with the cousins (Sarah, Justin, Jill, Kiernan and Mark), Aaron and Brian. The bar had the most amazing Fish and Chips ... and fairly horrible karaoke - which made it all the more fun!
Sunday we had Mark and Erins wedding which was held at a really beautiful Nature Preserve. It was great seeing them and hearing their vows made even Dave choke up. We then went home and napped yet again. (see a pattern?) We went to dinner that night with the family at Montgomery Inn. They have the most amazing Ribs! yum!
Monday we woke up, had lunch at Skyline (our first for the trip - amazing!) with Grandma and Andy, went to Bed Bath and Beyond to look for a pillow that would allow me to not be in pain on the trip back and then had a trip to Graeters for wonderful ice cream! Grandma and Grandpa had taken down toys that Dave had as a child and we got to look through them and decide which we were going to have for Sprout. Dave even found his very first teddy bear "Tenny" that he was incredibly attached to as a little one! I am so excited to have all of those for Sprout! Grandma and Grandpa made us dinner before we left and Katie and Andy joined us. We were fairly early for our flight which was great since we didn't have to rush. The flight was uneventful and less uncomfortable than the flight in.
Dakota's 20th birthday was Tuesday so we had a family birthday dinner at Big Wok. It was nice to have all of the boys around me after our whirlwind flight. Sawyer came home with us to spend the week with Dakota so we have an almost full house!
Wednesday was low key but I did get to have dinner with just Sawyer, which hardly ever happens!
On Thursday my back was acting up again (it doesn't happen very often so I hate to complain) so I was out of commission for the first half of the day. Dave has a show tonight where both of his bands are playing which is exciting but unfortunately a long night therefore meaning I may have to sit this one out.
This weekend will be fairly busy with us having all the boys and watching Carlin while Kim and Matt are out of town. Dakota and Sawyer will be busy with bday celebrations for Kota and Parker will be busy with rehearsals for his upcoming play. I think my brother, Karin and Neo are coming over this weekend also which is exciting!
I will try to post a picture from last week that we took with the family and will also get Dave to take one of my 21 week belleh.

Sandra and David
