Spring Fever Cuteness

I just ordered the above towel (three, to be exact) from Williams-Sonoma. Isn't it cute? It'll match my kitchen decor perfectly. I used a gift card from our wedding, way back in October of 2007. I am so bad at using gift cards, but I love receiving them! In some cases, I'd rather get a gift card. It may take me awhile to use one, but it's always worth it...

Mercedes Half Marathon - February 15, 2009

I finally got around to uploading the pictures from last weekend. Bob ran in the Mercedes Half Marathon in downtown Birmingham. This event is the biggest race in Birmingham each year, and it draws thousands of participants from all over. Bob started training for the half a couple of months prior. However, 3 weeks before the race, he was sidelined due to a knee problem. He even started physical therapy. But, that did not stop him! He ran the race anyhow, and finished with a time of 2 hours and 16 minutes. He took his time, knowing full well that his knee was not 100%. With all the troubles he had, he still went out and did this. I am so proud of him. Next year, he's hoping to do the full!

Here is Bob approaching the finish line.

After the race with yours truly.

Mandy, Bob, and Gabe - the 'Ham Sandwiches. The 'Ham Sandwiches is Bob's running group from work. Only three were brave enough to do the half!

Every finish deserves a price!

Belly Laughs

I finished Belly Laughs, by Jenny McCarthy in less than two hours on Sunday night. I highly recommend it if you are pregnant. It really is a fun, entertaining read. The only word of advice... don't read in bed while your husband is sleeping next to you. I had to keep my giggles to myself :-).

Proof

This is proof that Winston really does love his stuffed animals. Here he is cuddling with Beavertown. Or, wait?!? Is that Sneaky Squirrel? See this if you would like an introduction to his friends.

Pregnancy Woes

I should have kept my mouth shut at the beginning of the week.

I was so excited to have a busy week, and then, all of a sudden, I woke up in horrible pain on Wednesday. I'm talking unbearable, can't walk, crying for my husband pain! I immediately called my doctor, and he told me that I was most likely suffering from round ligament pain. He ordered me to be on bed rest for the day, with a heating pad, Tylenol, and a warm bath. So, I was bummed to not have met my friend for lunch and glider shopping. I also could not go to work on Thursday because I was still in a little bit of pain. I had not heard of any friends or family that has had this so badly, until I got on Facebook. A few of my FB friends said theirs was so bad they could also not walk, and one girl even went to the hospital. I was seriously contemplating that. I had this same pain over Christmas, but it was not nearly as bad. I can't complain though. Really. I've had such an easy pregnancy, that a few days of this is better off than puking my guts out. I never did that thankfully!
