Well look who finally decided to show up-My Belly! No joke, all weekend I had everyone telling me that I looked too small to be 22 weeks along and then come Monday, I was huge! This boy must have eaten his Wheaties over the weekend. Along with the sudden growth came the all day stretching pains of my ever expanding uterus. Monday and Tuesday I was uncomfortable all day. I actually read up on Braxton Hicks thinking that's what I was having, but I think it might have just been the round ligament pains. I've had a couple more people tell me I'm still looking small, which scares me because I'm sure I'll pop over night and be riddled with stretch marks. I guess it'll just be payback for all the ones I left on my mom. Sorry Mom! Like they say though, stretch marks are just a tiger earning her stripes!
Besides my bursting belly, the other big event of the week was St. Patrick's Day weekend!! For all who know me well, green is my absolute favorite color and I LOVE beer, so of course St. Patty's Day is my favorite holiday! Unfortunately this was the first year I didn't drink a green beer :( , but I guess the little leprechaun growing inside me is all worth it. I told everyone I know that this was the first year I wouldn't have green poop the next day! Although it was a sober weekend, it was still a great one! Friday night, AJ and I went out to San Jose to visit with his family. His cousin who lives in Hawaii was down for a visit and her dad was throwing her a BBQ. It was so nice to see all of his family that I've never met or only met a few times. We had a great time catching up and I loved hearing all the crazy stories from AJ's childhood. It turned into a very late night, but oh so worth it!
Saturday we watched our little ring bearer play his first tee-ball game. CUTEST.THING.EVER! It's so adorable to see 15+ kids all on the field kicking dirt, picking flowers, or sitting in the grass. AJ tells me he was the kid picking daises in the outfield. Hopefully our son gets his baseball skills from his Mom and not so much from his Dad. ;) AJ and I both want our kids to love baseball/softball as much as we both do. Watching the game this weekend got us so excited for our little boy to start!
Saturday night the gang all got together and went out to celebrate St. Patty's Day Eve and have a last hoorah before the Bestie moves to TN. We secretly planned a trip to Old Sacramento where we bought tickets for a Murder Mystery Dinner. She had no idea until they were calling our names for the Suspects Dinner. This was a first for all of us and we absolutely loved it! The show was a comedy/mystery of who done it. We all took notes and wrote down our clues and we still didn't guess the right killer. I strongly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun night out with really yummy food! After dinner we bar hopped around and then went home when the rowdy crowd started coming out-yes, we're old!

This St. Patty's Day was the first in a long time that I wasn't hungover-the one thing I don't miss at all! It was a nice, relaxing day with the hubby and some old friends. One of the friends I've known forever, who happens to be our neighbor now had a party at her house with one of the best new finds for clothing, La Pink Boutique, a boutique on wheels! With my birthday coming up, I figured I deserved a few early bday gifts, yay for me! Speaking of birthday, it's next week!!!! I can't wait! My mom and I were born just a day apart so this year we decided to throw a combined shindig with all our friends. We're going out for BBQ and then dancing all night to a live country band. So looking forward to this night! Last birthday that I get to only think of myself so I need to go all out! I'll be sure to post pics of me rocking the bump in the line dance!
