What a Week!

Good gracious! This week has FLOWN by!

Anyone else just cruise through the week?

I've been super busy at work which definitely helps but on top of that I've had a ton of post-work plans this week. 

On Monday, Jason and I had a little date night. 

I was gone all last weekend AND we found out the gender of our baby on Monday morning, so we thought it was appropriate to have a night out to spend some time together and celebrate our little baby ?. 

{You didn't think I'd let it slip that easily did you?}

We went to one of my favorite restaurants, PF Changs (I could literally eat Chinese food for every meal) and had ourselves quite the feast! We both started with Egg Drop Soup, then split the Chicken Lettuce Wraps (you can't go to PF Changs without getting the lettuce wraps), then I had the Sesame Chicken (YES! I ate chicken!) and Jason had the Honey Chicken. And, of course, we had to top the meal off with some little mini desserts! Red Velvet cake for me and some sort of Triple Chocolate Mousse for JJ!

 YUM!

On Tuesday, I had signed myself up to try prenatal yoga at a studio in Minneapolis called Blooma. 

I had heard good things from some friends and had really been missing yoga. Like I mentioned yesterday I have been too scared to go to class because I know there are certain poses you can't do during pregnancy and I was convinced I would end up in one of those poses. I figured going to a studio specializing in prenatal yoga would be a safe bet. Well, now I'm hooked. 

If you live in the area I definitely recommend Blooma. They offer prenatal, postnatal and mama/baby yoga classes as well as prenatal massage, birthing classes and doulas. 

On Wednesday, Jason and I met up with the Beeb and her hubby Jake to see the Gavin DeGraw and Colbie Caillat concert at the Minnesota zoo! It was hotter than hell but I had a BLAST!

 Gavin!

Colbie!

Last night I met my girlfriend Courtney for yoga and dinner. Courtney was the first of my friends to have a baby and is still one of the only mama friends that I have. 

Me, Court and her son Brogan the day after he was born almost THREE years ago!

I also need to add that Courtney and I are very similar in that we are hyper-organized and totally type-A so it wasn't at all surprising when Courtney offered to meet to discuss babies and baby gear. No lie, I printed out my registry to bring with so we could go through everything and she could help with what we needed and what we didn't. IT WAS AMAZING! Court was such a huge help and it's always awesome to get together and catch up! 

And tonight I get to go to the track and bet on some horsies with a few of the most amazing people I know...my hubby (obviously), my Beeb, the Beeb's husband Jake, KELLY and her hubby Greg. Actually, I don't know if Greg is amazing because I haven't met him yet, but if he was cool enough to marry Kelly then he's probably going to be alright. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 

I've Got a Fever...

...and NO the cure, for once, is not more cowbell.

IT'S MORE BIEBER BABY!

Today is the BIG day! Believe came out! And if you think I haven't already purchased it and listened to it 5 times, well then, you don't know me at all! 

I catch a lot of flack for being a 27-year-old Bieber fantatic (mostly from my husband and brother) but here's the deal...it's not like I want to date him! I'm nearly 10 years older than him for crying out loud! 

I just have mad respect for him...he's grown up before our eyes and has embraced this CRAZY celebrity (knock on wood he can keep it ip). 

PLUS, he's hilarious! 

Seriously. The kid cracks me up! 

And I'm sorry, no matter how big of a hater you are...you cannot deny the kid is talented. Not to mention Boyfriend is the greatest song of all time (OK, not quite, but it's bomb):

Another Fab Weekend.

Ahhhh, this weekend was lovely. I cannot believe it's already over and is Monday....again. 

Friday night, we went out to eat with my family to celebrate my brother's 23rd birthday.

The we met up with my BFF, Beeb and Beeb's husband for THE HUNGER GAMES!

I loved it! Of course, it wasn't as good as the book but I wasn't expecting it to be. I thought they did a great job recreating the story. I was so stressed the entire time they were in the arena...my best friend and I were holding hands...and he both knew what was going to happen! It was just so intense. Also, I think I want to name my first born Rue. Just putting it out there. 

Saturday was SO productive. I dedicated the whole day to spring cleaning and we got so much done! We went through all the closets in our house and got rid of all the clothes and miscellaneous shiz we no longer use. We threw away a ton of crap and also filled two HUGE garbage bags full of clothes to donate. I know you're all DYING to see how much we actually did, have no fear, I took before and after pictures. 

Jason and I own more t-shirts than any two people should own. We got rid of a bunch of stuff and then I re-folded and organized our armoire. 

We have two closets in our guestroom that were previously filled with all of our junk. We went through both of them and consolidated all of our stuff, and now we have one lovely empty closet that our guests can use. 

And finally, we have a utility closet on the main floor that is a popular dumping zone for things that don't have a home. I was PUMPED to get rid of about half the stuff kept in this closet! 

 Wasn't that SO thrilling? I know, you're welcome. 

After we were done cleaning we went to Jason's bff's to hang out on the deck and grill. It was a great relaxing night and I got to spend some time with my favorite two year old, Brody Bear!

Sunday we just spent the day relaxing and watching basketball. Best of all, both days I got to sleep in with this:

Finally, I leave with this:
