Week 26: Baby P goes to the Capital

This week was a bit different than most (similar to week 15 when Baby went to Disney).  Kevin and I made a last minute decision to make the trek to the promised land, our Alma Mater, Tallahassee, for one of the season's biggest games, the FSU vs. UM game.

Baby P is the size of a scallion this week, though I'd prefer to say she's the length of, because I hope she's not that skinny! Other sources say she's the size of a cucumber! She is roughly 2 pounds, her hearing is improving and she is practicing her breathing in amniotic fluid (and getting A TON of hiccups in the process).

We have been known for spontaneously deciding to hop in the car and head somewhere (read: Disney or Tallahassee), and we knew this was likely our last opportunity. 

After experiencing tailgating and the game, I can confirm that it would be our last time, at least making the 6 hour drive to a game this year.  We walked miles upon miles to tailgate, to stand in line at the porto-potty over and over again, to watch almost the entire game standing (I took a few breaks to stare at some backs), to walk more miles to get back to our car, for this momma to spend more than an hour behind the wheel in bumper-to-bumper traffic, to have to settle for Taco Bell (blah!) at 2 am.

Now, don't you dare get me wrong, I'm not complaining.  I had a flippin' blast and always love watching my Noles play, but I have never been more physically exhausted in my entire life. And yes, I stayed for the ENTIRE game!

But oh did it ever feel fantastic to be in Tallahassee.

yeah, that's me.

That's the best I got.

Florida State football, beautiful weather, friends, and incredible family that were all extremely gracious and excited for Baby P's "first" tailgating experience.

I already miss it.  And I am SOOOO incredibly sad that my friend (who is 10 weeks ahead of me) and I didn't get a single picture together, and we even stayed at her place!  She is about to pop, and I'm so disappointed we won't see them again until their baby boy arrives!

I honestly can't talk much about any major developments that I typically bullet point because this week was a frenzy. But I will say how incredible it is to feel like she's more and more of a human being every day. We got our Ultrasound done yesterday, so I will be posting about that separately and include some of my more regular updates.
