There's a lot going on in the Caldwell household, but I have no creative juices to cleverly write about it all... Sorry.
Caleb is walking. Yep. He's strutting his stuff regularly now from two limbs instead of four. I am a happy Mama, I tell ya. He's so cute.
Brian and I celebrated our four year wedding anniversary on the 1st of July. We celebrated on the 2nd by going on an overnight date. It was our first time away from Caleb. Mom and Bethany graciously stayed the night at our house with the little guy. I think that they all three thoroughly enjoyed it. When I walked through the door this afternoon, he was laughing and carrying on with the two of them. I think he's realized that they are fun to be around... probably more fun than Mom and Dad. =)
Brian took me to Sake Cafe for sushi last night. When we got there, a lady asked me when I was expecting. When I told her "not until September," she repiled, "Twins, right?" Ha! No. (Sad face) When we were seated, our waitress told me that I looked like I was about to pop. "Thanks" I thought. Just what any woman longs to hear...
I contemplated not eating dinner after that comment, but decided promptly against it. Brian assures me that it the reason that I received the comments was for two basic reasons: One-- I am all baby and have total chicken legs. Two-- The dress that I was wearing. No, I am not posting a picture. :)
We got the Fish Tempura, Shrimp Tempura, and Spicy Salmon Roll. Yummy! Then we headed to check in to the Hilton Garden Inn here in Pensacola. When we checked in, the lady at the desk asked me to back up because she wanted to throw in a guess for the gender of the baby. "Great," I thought. She guessed that it was a girl and was waiting for me to tell her that she was right. When I told her that we won't know the gender until he/she arrives, she smiled smugly and told me that she is usually right about those things. I suspect that she just thinks that I am big all over and that is a lame sign that some people use to disgtinguish between a girl and a boy. Whatever. Not bitter. (Yeah right!)
The Hilton is brand new and super nice. We felt like we were out of town... We enjoyed getting into our pjs and watching television (since we don't have one at home). We later headed to Publix to get some Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Then we came back to the hotel and watched some of the World Cup and fell asleep around 10:30PM.
Okay, I told myself that I was sleeping in. I haven't slept in since way before Caleb was born. That's over a year, people. I had no little guy to wake me up at 7AM and by-golly, I was going to take advantage of it. Wrong.
I looked at the clock and to my dismay it was 7:14AM. I looked over and Brian was wide awake. "What's wrong with us?" I asked. We got dressed and headed to the workout room. We had a nice, long workout which got us thinking that we should probably replenish all of the calories that we burned off by eating at Village Inn. So we did.
After our nice breakfast, we headed home to our boy.
I don't even think he missed us.
Sigh, it was a wonderful time away.
I am so glad that God gave me to Brian.

Last time I saw you, you didn't look as big as all the drama implies. You are a beautiful woman of God, people don't think before they talk, and well........pregnant woman look pregnant.... there's no way around it, and well.........you guessed it........you are pregnant!!!
Haha, thanks for your encouragement, friend! As a pregnant girl, I just don't feel pretty... I mean, I waddle instead of walk, ya know? The last thing that I would like to hear is that I look like I am about to burst, especially when I know that I have 7 to 10 weeks left of the pregnant adventure. =)
But really, I shouldn't take myself too seriously. That would probably greatly benefit those around me as well as myself.
BUT if you see me going for that extra doughnut, feel free to say, "Jess, lay off the carbs and sugar!" I think I could take that kind of correction from you, Appollo.
