Thank God for..

Great friends. They make living here soooo much better. Paul and I had spent the past 2 days in the apartment watching tv. It was nice, but today I was ready to get out and have a little fun. So...Paul took me out for an expensive dinner at Saltgrass Steakhouse. And yes...it was quite expensive. Eek. But so worth it and so delicious. Paul wanted to go see a movie afterward, but I was tired of the same ol' same ol'. I mentioned bowling and we decided on that. It had been FOREVER since we went bowling. I texted my friend Kelsey to ask her what her and her husband were doing and invited them to join us at 9. It was SO much fun bowling and hanging out with them :-) Mom jokingly asked if I was ok to lift a bowling ball and we joked about how ridiculous the pregnancy "you can't eat this, you can't do that" has gotten. She told me that if all of that stuff were true, her kids would have all be deformed or had problems! lol. Anyways, I'm getting off topic. Kelsey is pregnant as well. She's due 3 weeks after me, so it's a ton of fun going through all this together. She kicked everyone's butt at bowling! Goodness, it was ridiculous and put us all to shame. We bowled for two hours, then discussed New Year's Eve plans. Since neither couple had any plans, Paul and I invited them over for games, snacks, hanging out and watching the ball drop. I'm excited! We went and stocked up on snacks and drinks after we got done bowling. Bring on the New Year!!!

I've been feeling lots of round ligament pain. Like...alot. And I feel like I'm getting bigger (belly) everyday. Seriously. My lower stomache got hard and noticeable all of a sudden. Next on the list: feeling movement and finding out the sex. I love being pregnant :-)
