best moment of the week: (in week 15) over mea break andrew took me to stillwater and we stayed in a bed and breakfast. we ate at yummy restaurants and explored the town. we also got to see some good friends we rarely see. we also went to Minnetonka orchards with some good friends and ate cider donuts, drank apple cider, and walked through a corn maze. it was a great weekend!
amusing comments from the
general public: in the elevator at work a lady was talking to me about needing caffeine to survive. i told her i go every day without it. she awkwardly scanned my body and i told her yes, i'm pregnant and she replied, "i thought so but didn't want to ask because there's always that fat stage.
baby mama drama: i cried over not being able to agree on girl names... even though we don't even know what gender we're having yet. i told andrew our child is going to be nameless. i blame pregnancy hormones.
