Wicked Babymoon

Ry and I have been trying to figure out a good weekend for us to take a quick babymoon before Baby Ray gets here.  Time has quickly been ticking down to where I am not supposed to travel very far from my doctor and our weekends have become very limited. A couple months ago I got a phone call from Ry while I was at work... He said "Meg, Wicked tickets went on sale this morning, I hope you bought tickets today because they are completely sold out already!!" I was devastated because I have been wanting to see Wicked for years now. My sad reply was, "well babe, I know you will take me one day..." then he said, "how about May 10th at 7:30?" I was SO excited and completely surprised!!! Since we have been struggling finding a weekend that we can both get away we decided to make this our Babymoon.

We left for Boise pretty early so we could get a few baby items before we checked into our hotel. We had a great ride up, (only three pee stops,) I was pretty proud of myself. We navigated around Boise and found a Target to finish off our baby shopping list so I could be a bit less stressed about this little guy getting here. We found almost everything we need, and with Ry as my shopping partner it took about a quarter of the time that it would have otherwise. After our quick shopping spree for baby we did a little shopping for ourselves and then headed to our hotel.

We got ready for the show and stopped for a delicious meal at Johnny Carino's. I wore a really cute dress and darling heels (which i'm so disappointed we didn't get a full body shot,) but by the end of dinner my poor feet were already starting to swell. When we got back to the car I took them off, praying they would still go back on once we got to the theatre. I turned the AC all the way up and put my feet up on the dashboard, i know, so lady like. Luckily, the swelling went down enough to get my feet back into my heels.

We arrived to the show with time to spare, so obviously we had to look around at all the vendors of Wicked garb, I wanted one of everything, and ended up settling on a comfy sweatshirt (comfy is all i'm drawn to lately,) needless to say it's currently my favorite item of clothing and it is getting lots of wear.

Words cannot describe how absolutley phenomenal the show was!!! I literally got chills and it took every fiber in my body not to stand up and sing with them. I'm so glad I had flip-flops in my purse for after the show because there was no way my shoes were going back on. Ry and I had a blast together on our short trip and are trying to enjoy every second of our short time left as "just us". Thanks for a wonderful trip Ry, I love you, you are the best!!!

Baby Showers

BABY SHOWER 1

Last Saturday my girlfriends, Jen and Chelsie threw me a baby shower and we had a blast!! Baby Ray got very spoiled and he is going to be one stylish little guy.
 We played some fun games, the one pictured above is the "bottle sucking race" was SO fun, but really hard! My tongue was literally bleeding after this game, poor babies have to suck so hard to get anything.


 
Belly shot!!! 
 My girlfriend, Erika, is due two weeks before me with a little girl for Baby Ray to hang out with. We are both SO ready for our little ones to get here so we have can have mommy play groups and strolls in the park!!!
Baby Ray's crib full of all his presents before I organized them, I told you he is going to be one spoiled boy!


BABY SHOWER 2
 My mom and Mareesa threw me a fun shower two days ago. We had yummy food, fun games, and great company. Once again Baby Ray got very spoiled and has almost all he needs.
                             Darling diaper cake a couple of my girlfriends made for me!
                 Party favors (Jordan almonds with a baby rattle and "it's a boy" ribbon).
 My mom got us our pack and play that has been completely sold out everywhere! Luckily my Grandma found it, and we could not be more excited!
I'm so grateful for all of our family and friends who have given us so much love and support through our little journey in bringing our little cutie here. We love and appreciate you all and can't wait to meet this little wiggle worm!

Belly Pics

I know it has been ages since I have posted anything. Ry and I have been incredibly busy with life as well as preparing for the arrival of our little guy. I can't believe we only have one month left, time has absolutely flown by!!! We have his nursery almost 100% complete, so as soon as it is complete I'll definitely share. Our friend Jen took our maternity pics and did a beautiful job, here are a few of my favorites:
