Since You've Been Gone

Doesn't reading the title just make you want to bust out in the Kelly Clarkson song? That's what it did to me. Since Derek has been gone, we've:

Gone to Fort Benning for some pre- Fourth of July celebrations


Watched a lot (and I mean A LOOOOT) of Sesame Street


Eaten over at a friend's house for a BBQ


Worn a heart monitor due to the insane amount of stress and a couple of passing out episodes


Played on the swings and gone on walks almost daily


Indulged in some disgustingly huge homemade breakfast burritos


Caught a plane to El Paso to visit family


Visited the utterly enormous city of Atlanta


Had family come visit us in Georgia


Watched this little one change from a bean to a baby


Taken pictures of ourselves to send to Daddy


Bounced around at a kid's playhouse



Checked out the Kiddie section of the library (which is AWESOME)


Spent time with Jordan and Lindsey



Watched my belly go from THIS


To this


To this


To this


To this


And finally to THIS- I'm almost 16 weeks and have gained 5 pounds so far



Life is still chugging along but we cannot WAIT to have our Derek back.
