Party Time!

Sorry for the late post. I really try to get something up here at least once a week. However... the day I usually take my belly pictures was spent on an airplane. As most of you know, my sister, Stephanie, lives in Seattle and is getting married August 16th. Well, I really wanted to surprise her for her bachelorette party, and with a little help from her fiance, her friends, and her boss- I was able to make it happen. I flew out on Thursday evening and arrived in Seattle around 11:30pm. Heath "got a call from work" and had to leave (that's when he picked me up) He was waiting for me in the airport with a funny cardboard sign that said "Baby Heath" (that's what he has named our little one) On the back of the sign it said "Can I touch your belly?" You should have seen some of the looks we got! I wanted to post a pic of it, but it didn't show up very well. No worries though... it's currently sitting in the crib just waiting for the real thing to show up :-) Anyway- I think Stephanie was pretty surprised, although she had started to put it all together. I had arranged for her to have the next day off of work so that we could spend some time together. We went for a massage and then met up with Heath to run some wedding errands. Now... I HAVE to put this in here! Everybody that claims that Indiana is a hick state- at least we can't get marriage licenses in grocery stores. That's right- here they are!Granted- they still have to send it in to the courthouse, but I thought it was pretty funny! The weekend was filled with a lot of fun and commenced with Stephanie's bachelorette party. We started at her friend's house for some drinks (none for me) and then went to PF Changs for dinner (yummy) The rest of the evening was spent at 88 Keys. It's a dueling piano bar, like Howl at the Moon. We had a really good time! Here are a couple of pics from the evening. Thanks for such a great time!
Lastly- here is one more belly pic. It was taken at 22 weeks and 2 days. There will be another post coming in the next few days.
