Maternity clothes: Yes, still mixing it up though where I can between maternity and non maternity.

Stretch marks: Not a one!! Thanks to Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter here

Sleep: I have been up a lot more during the night the past week. I guess my body is getting ready for those long sleepless nights.

Best moment of this week: This is my last week of work since school will be out for the summer. I'm excited to be home for awhile and not have to start back up in September. As of right now, I don't need to go back until December. It will be nice to be home with the baby and do some fun things in the Fall.

Miss anything: I sometimes miss a summer cocktail when everyone else is having one, but soon I will be able to enjoy one again.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!!! I am really enjoying being pregnant. The only thing I'm hating is the heat and humidity and so are my feet. They have swollen up quite a bit, but the doctor said it is fine, it is just from the weather.

Father's Day

 HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

BRUNCH CRUISE

 

 This year for Father's Day we went on brunch cruise on the Cornucopia out of Perth Amboy. The day was absolutely beautiful, the weather was just perfect, not too hot or too cold!! With Tom being on a business trip to San Francisco and my sister working, it was a calmer Father's Day, but still really nice to spend the day with my dad, Chris and Mr. & Mrs. McNicholas. We did miss Tom and Erin though.

The cruise went out of Perth Amboy and sailed along the Raritan Bay. We met at my dad's around 11 and the cruise boarded around 11:30 and we were back by 2:00. It was the perfect amount of time for eating, sailing and relaxing.

The brunch was a buffet with a carving station that also had omelets and pancakes.  I was very impressed with the food and it all tasted delicious.  I definitely ate a lot and was very full by the end of the trip. This was a nice way to spend the day. Next year I'm sure will be a little different with the "Blueberry," and it being Tom's 1st Father's Day.

Happy Father's Day!!!

Sleep: Sleeping... oh that dreaded word. I don't even know how to respond to this anymore. Some days it is good and others it is just non existent. I guess my body is preparing me for no sleep.
 

Best moment of this week: This week has been calm. Very rainy here :( I would say the best moment was yesterday seeing the "blueberry" on the ultrasound. She looked so cute. She was moving around the entire time. The best part of the appointment was when I saw her mouth moving and she was chewing on her lip. I can't wait to meet this little one, I am so excited!!!
