25 Weeks!

Time is flying by. Baby Owen is moving more and more every day and he is the size of an eggplant this week.  Marcus has felt him move several times now. My mom was able to feel him too when my family visited for the 4th of July. He is the most active at night. One night last week, I was lying in bed with the remote control on my stomach and it was really moving.  I am wearing all maternity pants now and can wear some regular shirts, but not many.  Luckily, my one of my friends gave me a huge bag of maternity shirts the other day.   Here are my 2 most recent pictures.

Kansas City

Marcus and I took a few days off work last week and went to Kansas City. It will probably be our last vacation for a long time!  Neither of us had ever been there, but we were looking for somewhere that was an easy drive from here and the St. Louis Cardinals (Marcus's favorite team) happened to be playing there last week so it was a pretty easy decision.  We stayed for four nights and went to the baseball game, the zoo, the best outlet mall I've ever been to, and to a really cool museum.  We also ate at lots of good restaurants.  My favorite was a steak place called J. Gilberts. It was a splurge, but sooo delicious.

                                     

The first two pictures were taken at the Arabia Steamboat museum by a huge steamboat wheel. (I guess it's called the wheel-not sure!) Basically, these guys dug up a huge steamboat that sank in the 1850's and was buried under a field after the river changed course.  It was carrying merchandise for stores out west and people's personal belongings.  It was really interesting. There were lots of old clothes, dishes, tools, and even jars of food. It might sound nerdy, but we both really enjoyed it.

Kansas City had a great zoo. We walked around for probably 4-5 hours and didn't even see everything.  Marcus fed the goats and they were hoping for more.

Ready for the Cardinals game

The Royals have a fantastic stadium. I loved all the fountains in the outfield.
