I took a LOT of pictures this month. That just means my life is super interesting, right?
1: We were having some beautiful June weather, so we went out for a walk one night. Of course, it started raining, and Michael didn’t have a jacket so we ended up waiting awhile under a tree!
2, 3 & 4: We stopped at the playground on our walk. I’m glad we’re both such big kids… but swinging while pregnant does not feel so good. Don’t try it.
1: Breakfast time for piggies! They are always so happy and alert when I greet them in the morning.
2, 3 & 4: Just plain cuteness! I love those Juni lips.
1: My first ever oven-roasted chicken. I even made gravy! It was so easy and delicious and definitely worth buying the whole chicken. We ate it for about a week I think!
2: Homemade stir-fry. This was a new recipe for me, too! I was so proud of myself for actually cooking some real meals this month (for some reason, I am just not easily motivated to cook during pregnancy. It’s so weird because I used to cook all the time before). I’m sure Michael appreciates anything that isn’t frozen pizza or hotdogs.
3: A wild bunny we saw when we were out walking! At the end of our walk, we saw a run-over bunny and I busted out sobbing because I thought it was the same one.
4. Panda came camping with us. I guess he was scared of the dark since he was hanging out by the lantern!
1: New sunglasses because my pink and purple ones broke.
2: Cheap clothes I got for munchkin. I’m super excited about those little overalls!
3: The free Target beauty bag I got in the mail. Yay!
4. Michael learned a hard lesson: never send a pregnant lady to the store alone, because she WILL come back with donut holes (not like he minds)!
1: As you already know, Kroger does not have rainbow Twizzlers, so I “settled” for this red pack of Starbursts instead. They were so good! Mmm.
2. The next morning, I woke up to this love note on the kitchen counter.
3. I fell and hurt my knee pretty badly. Michael came home early from work to take care of me, since I couldn’t even put any weight on it, let alone clean it and wrap it myself (we actually didn’t even have many first-aid supplies, so he had to go buy some. Lesson learned)! I’m so grateful for my buddy who is always looking out for me.
4. One morning I woke up to this surprise- a cute game on the tablet! It’s called Kinectimals and Michael knew I would love it, so he downloaded it before I got up and then woke me up to surprise me.
1: I surprised Michael with freezie pops! Who knew you could get a big box of them at the Dollar Tree? He was thrilled!
2: We went out for milkshakes, and ended up getting an extra one for free because they messed up my first one. YUM!
3: Poor Michael studied for HOURS for this network intrusion exam he took at work. He passed, of course!
4: We got a piano! Michael was and still is so excited about this and I can’t wait to hear him play more often.
1: Balloons my mom got for the double baby shower we had with cousin Nicole!
2: After years of hearing about this place that Michael’s grandma used to take them to for ice cream, we finally got to go! It was delicious and worth the 3.5 year wait! Haha.
3: Lelia and Jeff are kind of weird, but we let them have ice cream with us too.
4: We had two HUGE storms. One of them hit while we were out of town at my parents’ house, where it wasn’t nearly as bad. A lot of people lost power and a lot of trees have gone down. What a mess. I’m grateful that our power didn’t go out though, because my pigs would have been pretty hot without the air conditioning.
