whirlwind of a week

happy friday everyone!

this week has been a total whirlwind, and i can't believe it's already over! (although i'm very, very happy it's the weekend!) tomorrow will mark 31 weeks of pregnancy-crazy to think we'll have a baby with us in 9 short weeks!

some highlights of the week:

  • monday we dropped our pups off at their new doggie daycare/boarding kennel for a trial run, and they passed with flying colors! we're going to my parents' house next weekend for my baby shower, and we really didn't want to drag the dogs along this time, so we found them a fun new place to stay while we're gone. they'll sleep and eat together, but they each have their own play group twice a day with their own size dogs.

    the kennel (meadows bed & biscuit in huntersville) has webcams where you can watch your dogs during play groups. i watched loki and kona on monday, and it was so funny! loki is a mini socialite and just follows the humans around waiting for some attention. kona was a big floppy ball of happiness and ran circles all day long. he also went swimming in the doggie pool, which is a big deal for him! he's been swimming a couple of times, but he's pretty reluctant, so we think the "peer pressure" of the other dogs swimming got him in there.

    anyway, i'm so happy they had a good time and we have a safe and fun place to leave them when we need a weekend away!

    [our sweet neighbors mike and tami also had their baby girl on monday. welcome to the world sophia, can't wait to meet you!]

  • wednesday i worked from home, which was a nice change of pace since i'm pretty much at my desk all day every day right now. we had a couple of appointments to go to, and that night we met our photographer at latta plantation park for our maternity photos! here's the link to the sneak peek: http://chelseahomesley.com/?p=14475

    i highly recommend chelsea for anyone looking for a family photographer in the lake norman area! i hadn't met her until wednesday, just emailed, but she is so sweet, creative, accomodating, and fast! we took the pictures on wednesday and we got our sneak peek link a day later! we should get all of the shots on a cd in the mail in a week or 2. i can't wait to see what chelsea does with ellie's newborn, 6 month, and 1 year pictures (which yes, we already booked, and i'm thrilled about. planner at heart!)

    a couple of favorites:

    love that man!



  • last night we went to the onerepublic and the script concert with our friends brad & stacy. while i know a lot of the songs those bands sing, it's not my typical kind of concert to go to, but i really enjoyed it! of course i'm a bit of a party pooper right now and had to make an exit around 10:30, but i had so much fun! thanks again yall for the invite :)




    we have a fun and relaxing weekend planned, and i'm excited to spend more alone time with my man before ellie arrives! the weekends are getting more and more precious as time goes on, so i'm trying to savor them as much as i can.  hope yall have a great one!
