William, Kate, & Brains

Okay, just because I’m pregnant doesn’t mean I can’t have fun. While I might not be the life of the party these days, I do try to get out every once in a while. One of the best parts? The whole no hangover thing. Hah. Here are some photos from a couple recent shindigs…

This Friday my friend Jill hosted a royal wedding watch party (DVRed of course – there was no way we were waking up at 4 am). She went all out with homemade scones, vintage tea cups, William & Kate decorations, fancy hats, and Cathy even brought a wedding cake!

These are from Brains’ birthday party, way back in March. This was the same week I had my first ultrasound, so at the party we told all of our friends that we were expecting. So, I’ll always remember that night – mustaches & all.

I made brains cupcakes for the birthday girl.

People have asked how she ended up with the nickname Brains, so now is a good time to explain. In college, the university usually gives email addresses with the first letter of you first name, and the first five letters of your last name. Back then, her name was Brandy Rains. So there ya have it!

Since usually I’m in bed by about 8 o’clock, my nights of fun are few and far between. I guess I should have a few more while I can, but pajamas & thinking of baby names rate pretty high up there with me right now.

Love being lazy.

Lazy bums.

And a silly pregnant picture for good measure.

    Your friend Brains sounds really cool. I bet she’s a lot of fun. I like when you write about her.

    What a fun party. I think my favorite part would be wearing a hat.

    Ok, this party totally wins. I mean, scones, hats, wedding cake?! I watched the Royal Wedding from start to finish (also DVR’d it), and I CRIED. It was so beautiful, sigh.

    P.S. We may not be close enough for me to say this, so apologies in advance but: Your boobs looks AMAZING. Sorry, it’s true. xo.
