21 Weeks and a Nice Weekend

Dear Baby Bean-

Hi there little one!  It is Sunday night and your sister and I are just hanging out on the couch playing and getting ready for her bath time.  We had a nice weekend and I wanted to tell you a little bit about it before the night gets away from me and another week starts.  I can't believe that you are 21 weeks along and we are (a little) more than half way to meeting you in a few months.  This week is busy with a midwife appointment and your anatomy scan ultrasound (hooray!) plus Daddy has two basketball games.  I'll tell you all about those things as they happen but, for now, let me tell you about our weekend.

Friday we got to go to the school where Mommy used to work to have lunch with my former coworkers.  Our friend Carol Schoen retired last year and moved to Colorado, so this is the first time we have been able to see her since she moved last July.  It was so fun catching up with everyone and although the time went fast, I was happy that we had the opportunity to see everyone.  Tenley and I went home after lunch and took a nap and then it was time to go to Daddy's basketball game.  It was an away game at Thornwood and Grandma Carol came with us.  Daddy's team won by quite a bit and that win put them at #1 in the conference.  We are so proud of Daddy and his team- the season is winding down and he draws for Regionals this coming week. Keep your fingers crossed for a good matchup, Bean!

Saturday was a pretty chill day.  Tenley woke up pretty early and Daddy had to go to basketball practice, so I decided that we should go to Ethan's basketball game at the Lincoln Center.  He only has a couple of games left and I wanted to make sure we got to see one!  Ethan did a great job and it was fun to see Auntie Carrie, Uncle Pete, Cammie, Ethan, Andrea, Jo, Auntie Carrie's mom and dad, and Grandma Carol.  After the game I treated us to McDonald's and then it was time for a nap.  Last night Daddy decided to get pizza and we spent the night playing at home.

Today was Finn's big dinosaur birthday party and it was so much fun!  Tenley and I got to the Lincoln Center around 3:00 and spent the afternoon eating fun food and hanging out with our friends.  Beth, Matt, Reagan, Betty, Mike, and Clark were there and we all watched Finn blow out his birthday candles and open his presents.  Finn had a great time and we did too!  Here are some pictures from the party:


Tenley's favorite part of any birthday party is the cake


Reagan went the more civilized route and used a fork

Someone loves chocolate

Presents!  Happy 2nd Birthday, Finn!

So that was our weekend.  As I said before, you are 21 weeks along as of yesterday and although Mommy slacked last week with a 20 week belly picture, we tried to make up for it this week with a few new ones.  Here they are- it sure looks like you're getting bigger in there by the looks of my stomach :)  I can't wait to see you again on the ultrasound Wednesday and to find out for sure if you are a boy or a girl. Hopefully Mommy can sleep these next few nights because I'm so excited!
