Nathan thought it would be fun for me to go spend some sister time with Mandy before the baby comes. While it's still just the two of us and I don't have a baby to worry about. It was so much fun! Mandy picked me up Friday night at the airport and about died when she saw how big my belly has gotten. At 30 weeks it's starting to get big! She of course had to touch the bump and talk to the baby every day, at least once! Haha It is so much fun to have her so excited, I feel so loved by her! Well the weather wasn't great so we never made it to the beach....bummer for sure! However I did get to meet some of her friends and roommates which was interesting to see her life now. We started Saturday off with a little exploring. We went on a quest to find the best donut place (other than Scotty's). We took pictures to document each place. We made it to two before we needed some real food. Once we got to the third, it was closed. Quest to be continued....
We laughed so much together, as we always do! I even almost made Mandy spit her milk out in one of the donut places...hehe It's a good thing laughter burns calories sheesh! She said I can't come visit her for a long time because I made her eat too much food.....hey the baby's hungry I said! It was so much fun to spend time together again, sharing a room again and staying up late talking and laughing (2:30am) together. I'm not sure how we ever got any sleep when we were younger, and now I can see why mom and dad kept telling us to "be quiet and go to sleep" haha. I love you so much Mandy!! Thanks for such a fun weekend!
Oh oh! And then..... on Monday, mom came down and she went with me to the Ellen Degeneres Show!!!! Woot woot!! My sweet Nathan scored two VIP tickets to her show. I love her I just think she is hilarious!! When I was down because we weren't getting pregnant, I would watch Ellen and she always made me laugh. If nothing else I knew I had 1 hour every day that I would get some laughter out. Anyways mom came to go with me and so we drove down to Burbank, CA. We had perfect seats!! It was so cute to see mom dance! And I'm sure I was entertaing trying to dance with my baby bump. Mom and I laughed and had a blast! We danced and cheered during the show. Although you can't get the episode online, as far as I'm aware anyways....I TIVO'd the episode and mom and I had TONS up air time, at least 3 good close-ups of me and mom!! During a commercial break (of course they have you dance during the commercials "laugh. dance. ellen." Anyhow Ellen came down the stairs (I was sitting on the end seat by the stairs) and as she danced down the stairs, she saw my baby bump.....she stopped in front of me, looking at me, and pointed to my belly and smiled. It was my little moment with Ellen. Everyone around us was going crazy "oh my gosh Ellen pointed to your baby! Now you can tell your baby that Ellen said hi!" haha I was rather excited. I've seen better, more entertaining guests than who we had but non the less, it was a blast! What an experiment!! Thanks for going with me mom! It was so fun to have you there and a memory we will always have!
