Week in Instagram

Good morning! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend…we sure did. With all of the baby boy excitement last week I didn’t get a chance to tell you about our weekend with our friends Mo and Ali. They live about 2 hours away so it’s always a treat when we get to spend a whole weekend together! Mo and Ali are expecting a sweet baby boy about two months before us….we can’t wait to have our little guys play together! Mo and my husband are already plotting out when to start baseball drills.
Ali and I went maternity clothes shopping on Saturday and it was so fun! So many of the dresses looked ridiculous on me….but when I had Ali try them on they looked so cute! It helps to shop with someone with a cute baby bump!
On Sunday we went to a Red Wings playoff game….Mo scored row 5 seats and they were awesome! We had so much fun.
Our drinks of choice for the game. That Icee totally hit the spot for the two pregnant ladies!
They boys in their Red Wings gear. 

My husband picked the longest/weirdest last name that he could.
This past weekend we got a ton done around the house.
Got some baby toys….can you tell the husband picked these out? And yes, that is a stuffed Chewbacca. He talks. And the tractor lights up and honks. 
Date night milkshake!
On Saturday we painted the nursery. It looks SO good and we are so happy with it. Real photos coming soon.
Sophie “helped” me prep the room. 
My two helpers tired out pretty quickly.

How was your weekend?

    Wow, I haven't had an Icee in forever, that sounds SOOO good now! 😉

    Before I even read your caption, I saw the name on your hubby's tee shirt and I was like WHAT the heck is that?!? lol!

    I love that you have a good friend so close in terms of pregnancy! Only 2 months apart?! Your boys will be best friends for sure!

But I will keep this memory forever.
