Falling Behind

So Casey informed me that I needed to update this. A lot has happened since I wrote last. We went home for a BBQ/shower on August 26th. It was nice to have a co-ed get together so that Casey's friends could be there as well as some of mine and our male relatives. It's really nice to be able to see everyone since we don't come home very often and, when we do, we have to cram a ton into just a few days. We got so many wonderful gifts and lots of teeny baby clothes...we really appreciate all the gifts that we got. I don't know if anyone reads this but, if you do, thank you!

Since the shower, I feel like I have grown exponentially. I know I know....I have a long way to go and will get far bigger. At any given time, however, I am bigger than I've ever been. I wake up in the morning, and I'm bigger than I was yesterday...and so on and so forth. I'm really starting to look like I'm hiding some basketball under my shirt. Along with a couple of softballs up above if you get my drift.

The baby has been kicking a ton lately, most often between the hours of 12am-3am and when I cross my legs, bend over, or drive. He seems to like as much space as possible and has no problem letting me know that I'm cramping his style. He also seems to be sucking all my available energy. I love work but it's been pretty crazy lately and there have been many nights where I don't get home until 8pm. Casey has had a lot of free time for video games because I usually suck dinner down and then pass out on the couch until he wakes me to move to the bedroom.

I'm going camping with some girlfriends this weekend, I think it will be fun to get away and do something besides sleeping and going to work--my life has gotten pretty boring lately! I will post some pictures on here soon.
