Somebody Pinch Me Please...

Last Saturday, 9.10.11, Nick and I went to the Incubus concert in Camden, NJ. We bought the tickets several months ago. We got seat tickets, since we knew that the pit probably wouldn't be a good idea for a pregnant lady, especially at 7 1/2 months.

This was the fourth time I've seen them in concert, and the fifth for Nick. This day/concert will be a story we can talk about for the rest of our lives: The day Nick surprised me with back stage passes to meet the band and get autographs. Honestly, a dream come true...for the both of us.

Nick had contacted one of the local radio stations that he listens to, schmoozed them, and got the passes...I'm sorry, (but really not sorry), that I continue to toot the horn of how wonderful my husband is :-)

Baby Hinman even gets a piece of this memory, a signed onesie.

Baby Bump Series: Week 29 & 30

Unfortunately, the past two weeks of birthing classes were cancelled. So our first day of class with be on Tuesday....hopefully.

Been experiencing a lot of braxton hicks contractions. They're not painful and don't last long; it just feels really weird when my entire belly is as hard as a rock. I am staying well hydrated though, as 'nature calls' ALL the time.

Baby Hinman continues to do summersalts and other Olympic movements on a daily basis. As much as it may keep me up at night, or distracted during the day, the feeling of reassurance is nice. I am also finding that rolling out of bed or off the couch is much more comfortable then attempting to bend where I no longer can.

1st Wedding Anniversary

Hard to believe that a year ago today, Nick and I were getting ready in separate rooms with our bridal party, preparing to walk down the isle in front of friends and family, to dedicate ourselves to each other in marriage.
Today, we spent time looking back on that day, and talking about how amazing it truly was.

This morning, Nick and I both worked together to prepare our Anniversary dinner. It was nice to have him in the kitchen for more than five minutes <wink>.

We made crock pot Beef Carbonnade. While waiting for it to cook, we looked through our wedding albums and watched our wedding DVD. (It's funny how you pick out things that you didn't notice the last time we watched it...for instance- siren going off in the middle of the ceremony. We definitely don't remember that.)

Yes, today we spent the whole day at home. Nothing extravagant, just a relaxing day with each other.

I have to say, I was also very impressed with the top of our wedding cake. It preserved so well. It made it through the 3 hour journey from Williamsport to our new home; it did not freezer burn; and as it thawed, the butter-cream frosting scented the kitchen. Yeah, the cake was a little dry, but all in all, a good evening dessert.
