Trip = Social Butterfly

On Friday night my sisters, Kristen & Lizzie, came over to hang out. Brian had a softball game pretty close by so we all went to watch. It was a nice night, perfect for sitting at a ball game. Trip really enjoyed it too!

On Saturday my friend Katie christened me into the puppy world by taking me around to all of her favorite doggie stores. We hit up Two Bostons, Wet Nose, and PetSmart. Then later on that day I took Trip over to her house to meet her beautiful, but HUGE, Golden Retriever, Parker. Trip and Parker sure had a blast together! Me, Brian, Katie, and her husband Steve also had a great time together...nothing like a nice summery day and some cold Bud Light Limes! Thanks again Katie, Steve, & Parker...we had an awesome time! We can't wait to do it again soon!

Parker is a Cubs fan and Trip is a Cardinals fan, of course!

Me & the pups!
Check out that size difference!

You may remember from some of my past posts that our friends, Brad & Deana Tokarz, were expecting their first child pretty soon. Well, on Friday night, May 29th at 6:22pm, Kailey Marie Tokarz was born. She weighed 7lbs. 1 oz. and was 19 in. long. Brian & I drove up to see our new "niece" on Sunday morning. She sure is beautiful! Congratulations Brad & Deana!

You're probably all wondering when this blog changed from baby journey to now all about our puppy! There is still nothing to report at this moment in the way of fertility news. I still haven't gotten my period, so I have an appointment on Thursday, June 4th. They will once again check my estrogen level and do an ultrasound. Hopefully my estrogen has decreased enough to get this whole thing moving! But, we'll see. Right now, Trip is doing a great job of distracting me from all of this fertility stuff. I will say that taking care of Trip has definitely shown me how ready I am for Brian & I to have kids. I couldn't be any more excited about our future together.

Have a great week!

Only 5 more days of school left! YAY!
