Girls Weekend!

This weekend, the girls and I went down to Orlando for our annual Time Out for Women Conference/ Girls Weekend Out. We had so much fun! We shopped til we dropped, laughed til we cried and felt so inspired and uplifted from Time Out for Women. I look forward to this every year! The speakers are always so uplifting and inspiring. I always feel refreshed and rejuvenated when we leave. This year I bought this incredible DVD called Reflections of Christ which features the photography of Mark Mabry. In his work, he recreated and photographed the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. If you've ever seen his work, you know IT'S INCREDIBLE. The DVD I bought shows how he created each shot and it features a slide show of all his photography while the song Come thou fount of every blessing is playing in the background. It is so beautiful and is definitely worth two minutes of your time to watch. Click here to see the slide show.

Here are a few pics of our girls weekend out...

Time Out for Women Conference


Me with Hilary Weeks, one of the speakers/ singers at Time Out. She has the most amazing voice and I love hearing her speak every year! She's an amazing person!



This is the cute free bag that they gave us when we checked in. I got Hilary to sign mine


All the girls


After the conference, we went to IKEA. I had never been there before but have heard so much about it! I loved it. Especially this kitchen...


And this dining room setting...


Another cool room...


While we were walking around IKEA, I couldn't help but notice this really cute, UNBELIEVABLY LARGE baby! We kept running into him and his parents as we shopped and I just had to snap a picture of him! Sorry the quality is so poor. It was taken from pretty far away. What a little chub! He was cute...



We had so much fun on our girls weekend! Little Cameron enjoyed himself too but he and I both were glad to get home to his daddy :)

Baby Mama- 6 months

Well, I'm just beginning my 6th month of pregnancy and felt it was time for another belly shot. Here you have it... Baby Mama (as John now calls me) in all my big belly glory! I think you'll all agree there's NO DENYING that I'm pregnant now! A few of you disputed the size of my previous belly shots and said things like "you can't even tell you're pregnant". I bet NONE OF YOU will be saying that now! My friend at work put it so well today when she said "It looks like you've got a basketball in there!"

It seems like I just got HUGE almost overnight! I still really have NO COMPLAINTS about pregnancy thus far though. Other than the occasional heart burn, things have been GREAT!

A few of you have asked if I've had any weird cravings. The only WEIRD craving I can think of is a constant craving for crab legs! I crave crab legs ALL THE TIME, which we never eat normally, so I thought that was pretty funny. Other than that, it's just the usual stuff that I would crave anyways as a non pregnant person like Mexican food and ANY KIND OF DESSERT. Some of little Cameron's favorite treats include Moe's Joey Jr. burritos, La Nopolera chicken quesadillas, sopa pillas (this AWESOME Mexican tortilla dessert at La Nopolera with Cinnamon and honey drizzled on top) and fudge tracks ice cream from Publix. No ice cream and pickle cravings though!



Okay Emily and Sarah, I showed you mine, now you show me yours! Post your belly shots please :)
