Celebrity Gossip, Ted, Bachelorette, And a Bikini Belly= Thursday Randoms

Some Randoms...

1. Bachelor News: I have yet to actually watch the Bachelor as I have been working this week.... but I do have it recorded and plan on catching up on Monday's shenanigans. In the mean time, I hear that Chris went home. Is this surprising or no? Lets say... no. 2.Puddle Jumper. This came in the mail the other day and we got to test it out for the first time on the 4th of July. O-M-G. Elliana loves it. And it really does work. It really does keep her afloat. I am so happy with this purchase. 3. Old Navy Suit. Now we all know that when it comes to bathing suits, I like to stick to the two pieces. However after filling my cart with tons of bikinis, I decided to also add this gem after hearing such great reviews about it. And? PERFECTION. It really is very flattering. 4. Tom/Kate. Split split split. How do we all feel about this? I'm not surprised by any means... but it does sadden me that a family is split. Then again, movie stars live such a different life than any of us... I'm sure there probably won't be much of a difference in their child's life. 5. Ted. I need to see this movie. 6. Fourth of July. We had a ban in fireworks yesterday. How is that even possible. I know, right? Awful. We did enjoy the day at my parent's house swimming and grilling out. Which means, yes, I skipped out on the 1K at work. Shocker. 7. Beach Tent. This came in the mail the other day, and we love it. It's large and SO easy to put together. Can't wait to take it with us to HHI. 8.Power Outage. Our power went out the other day during the big storm for about 8 hours. This resulted in my husband throwing away probably around $100.00 worth of dairy products. That is life. 9. Popcorn. Love it. 10. Pickles. Love number two. I get a bowl of sliced pickles every day at work. A bowl. 11.Jen. Go check out one my sponsors. A army wife and mama of a little girl. Say hello! 12. Scentsy love. Ah I have been obsessed this pregnancy with good smells in my house. Wonder why? I don't know what I would do without my scentsy warmers!

 In other news....

It's been scorching hot around these parts. We're talking like 100 degree weather every day.

And no rain {aside from the storm day}. Which means.... it's super dry.

But? That doesn't keep us from going outside.... E and I have find ways to stay refreshed outdoors.

In fact, we took the inside, outside. Table, lunch, playmat, and baby pool.

Some of our favorite summer things.

My pretty lady...

More pictures to come from this day,....

 Pretzels and Veggie Dip

One of my favorite things during this pregnancy. I mean... favorite doesn't even cut it. I love it. I was sitting on the couch earlier this week and then for whatever reason I started craving this. So what does a pregnant mama do? Well. She sends her wonderful and willing husband out to get me some. So I can get my fix. And ladies and gentleman, a fix I got.

 Beach Tent

Remember that beach tent that I was talking about earlier? Ya. This ginormous beast.

 Watch your eyes... big-o-belly alert!

Hello 13 week belly! Woah. Where did you come from? And how different do you look from my Elli prego belly. Might this mean that it is a boy? Might it?! Might it?! 5 weeks to go!

Before you go.... 

Before you go... Please take a minute to visit Allie's blog and find out about a young mom recently diagnosed with the neuromuscular disease known as ALS.

I have had many patients with ALS and anytime Allie talks about this special woman, it brings me back to each and every one of them. Each one has a story. Each ones life ends tragically too soon. 

Go here to read about how you can help raise some money that will go to her children's funds!

Happy weekend to all! And hope everyone had a fun & safe 4th!
