This is going to be one heck of a weekend (for a pregnant lady)

Friday 11am: I may not be able to drink, eat sushi, or play soccer but by God I am allowed to get my hair highlighted. Thank goodness because I'm almost a brunette at this point. Someone might start taking me seriously if I let it go on any longer.

Friday 9pm: The Jordans first gig since our return to Austin and what will likely be our last gig pre-baby. I pretty much have to hold my bass like a shotgun while I play. According to Brian it makes me look like Johnny Cash. Compliment? From Brian, absolutely.

Saturday 11am: My baby shower! So excited to see all of my wonderful friends and family. Plus it's going to be fun to see what kind of fun things Peanut will have the opportunity to poop/throw up on.

Saturday night/Sunday: My BFF and her fiance are in town as well as my sister-in-law and her super cute family so who knows what the rest of the weekend will hold? Maybe I'll go nuts and drink more than one non-alcoholic beer? Or eat an entire cupcake without cutting it in half first and pretending like that's all I want? Perhaps we'll go to dinner and I'll order a steak "medium" instead of "well done" like the doctor instructed me? What if we all go dancing and stay out past 9pm!?! Wow, I'm already tired from these hypothetical shenanigans.
