Windy City Rules

For some reason, blogger has decided to make it extremely difficult for me to post pics tonight. I think it is because I have been a naughty blogger. I probably lost some of your attention anyway. While Brent is playing video games all weekend with his friends...all weekend...I thought I should update you on the goings-on in nicksterland. We went to Chicago last week and returned Tuesday. It has always been my favorite city in the world, so I was so glad to see if Brent agreed. 80 degree weather, Gino's pizza and Second City laughs, yep, he likes it! I don't know what it is about Chicago. I mean, I can almost break out into hives when thinking about living in the "city". Hustle and bustle and keeping up with the Jones' is just what I loathe. However, Chicago seems to feel so much more relaxed and fun. I mean, I know stuff goes on there, but I am just fascinated with it. I think I always think of it as the place I would have liked to have gone to pursue my dream of writing. I always wanted to write comedy and act. I especially love sketch writing, so comedy acts are really cool and inspiring to me. I feel like I get it there. Like I can relate to it. It's great. Sadly, they also have magnificent shopping. H&M is my favorite and I had to just look at the clothes and sniff them. No buy. Where of all the most boring places between Anthropology and Gucci did I have to buy from? Old Navy and Gap. Because they have maternity clothes. They don't even fit yet. I'm tellin' ya, this maternity clothes game is a tricky one to master. Oh well. I guess I have an excuse to go back post baby. We had such a neat time. I love going on vacation with Brent. He is so laid back. We always have a skeleton plan, but nothing concrete. I am sure that would be horror to some of you, but we always end up seeing everything and really enjoying ourselves. Of course, we do take 3 hour naps almost every day. This picture is from the Lincoln Park Zoo. Fabulous, clean, fun and FREE. It really is a great zoo. We had a lovely time.
Baby Dub is well. Gave me a scare the day we returned...I spotted some, though I considered it bleeding, I now know it probably was not in actuality. After a trip to the ER, we found all was OK. I am feeling much better, but man, that was an emotional drain. I will be posting pics soon. At 12 weeks I am going to show ya'll my belly. It is already sticking out and I am not kidding. I don't know whether to be happy or sad about that. I mean, I am a little person and it looks like I am 4 months! Ahhh! I have a lot more energy than I have had the past month. Although, I am about to go to bed at 10:00 on Friday. I promise though, I am getting better.
