It’s JULY!
Holy yuck…because that means it’s hot and almost time to start back to school. However, we do have to get Vegas done before we have to worry about that mess.
I am sitting here doing everything other than what I should be doing…which is practicing my presentations for next Wednesday. Which is a WEEK from today. I have been busting it to get these presentations done this summer and I feel like they are my entire life at this point. I don’t want to say I’m over it…but I’m kind of over it. I’m excited to see all of my friends and have a few days to chill out before I present! I’m really excited (and by excited I mean incredibly nervous) to present, but Vegas is all about seeing all of my friends that I miss like crazy during the year!
Good news about little miss Amelia Frances! We went to the doctor yesterday and it’s still a girl…she didn’t grow anything interesting the past few weeks. More exciting that it being a girl (if that’s even possible) is that she is all healthy and according to my doctor “looks perfect”. God is so good <3
She also seems to want cookies…specifically double stuffed oreos…like all the time.
Must resist.
I feel like I am a pretty nice person. I try really hard to be…it doesn’t come natural (for anyone…not just me :-p). I want everyone to feel loved and better about themselves and I try really hard to be “kinder than necessary”.
Sort of kind of along the lines of Vegas…I just hope that everyone stays stress free during the week. It’s such a fun time for everyone to reconnect and make new friends. I will give you a big old hug even if I don’t remember your name…you just have to remind me 🙂 It’s not because I don’t want to remember your name, but because I couldn’t remember anything before I was pregnant and now it’s embarrassing. Please do not stress about business cards, t-shirts, notebooks, pens, flyers…anything like that (unless you are way better at life than I am). Just throw it all in a suitcase, hop on the plane, and enjoy yourself! It’s my favorite week of the year!
Also, if you come to my session and I totally suck…please don’t tell me.
Kidding..but not really 🙂
See you next week!
Amelia Frances…such an adorable name! I’m sure you will do great during your presentations! Have fun in Vegas…a little jealous of all the people posting about going!

I am so jealous that you will be going to Vegas! I wanted to go so badly, but I couldn’t leave my little guy alone with my husband. It was just too much this year because he is only one. Good luck at your session! I’m a new follower- I found you through Farley’s link up. 🙂

You have me wanting some double stuff oreos. Pregnancy and these cravings. I am all about s’mores right now! Wish I was going to Vegas to meet all of you wonderful ladies, especially all of those going through pregnancy the same time too. There’s a lot of us 🙂 So glad to hear your 20 week went good!!! Can’t wait to see pictures of all these new little babies!!

Congratulations on your daughter STILL being a daughter! When I was pregnant with my daughter, I craved Double Stuffed Oreos too! All. The. Time. 60 pounds later, I totally regretted all of those Oreos!
Congratulations on the little girl! I am the proud dad of four boys and…one little girl. She is amazing, but I am constantly being reminded that I can’t play with her the same way that I play with the boys. Our Bug (that’s my nickname for her…real name is Kate) is so much fun and she is definitely helping me be a better father and person. Congratulations again!
Congratulations! What a relief to know your girl is healthy and growing! Good luck at Vegas – i’ve loved reading your blog for a while now, and I know you’ll bring the same genuineness to your presentations.

Hi,
You will not suck next week. You will be fabulous, because you are fabulous.
I’m excited to meet up again in Vegas! It’s been 2 years for me since I was able to go – last year I couldn’t attend because I was quite pregnant and not allowed to fly that loooong distance from Dubai. But I’m back this year with my little one in tow. Don’t worry if you won’t remember my name when I see you – I have the same issue (pregnant or not as well). I am so bad at remembering people. But it will be a good time and then you’ll get to meet Amelia and you’ll spend all your time memorizing all her features.
