Survived the ALS Walk4Life! Almost drowned in the rain! We were so soaked that our shoes were filled with water and had to sit on towels on the way home. Yuck! But it was such a great cause and I'm so glad we toughed it out (even though 2 miles was harder than I expected!) Then we had a tailgate in the pouring rain afterwards! Wet chicken, anyone??? haha. I can't BELIEVE this weather. I thought Chicagoans don't have to worry about hurricanes and/or tropical storms! WTF?! Our basement is flooded and Rudy spent his Sunday getting anything of value up off the floor so that it wouldn't get ruined. The dogs feel displaced and depressed, the basement is their turf. The baby is moving like CRAZY! I feel him kicking and somersaulting around all the time. Maybe he'll be at the 2016 Summer Games??? I guess that would be a little too early...maybe 2020! My baby shower plans have been set by my Mom and Lyndy! Can't wait to see the secret invitations Lyndy has been working on!!!!!!!! Also, I signed Rudy and I up for a weekend crash course at Palos Hospital...Birth, Babies, and Beyond. They said to bring 2 pillows, a blanket, and wear comfy clothes....We're going to be learning everything from how to breathe during labor to how to change a diaper to how to breastfeed (well, I guess that part is more for me than Rude.) That's on Oct 25-26 and we get a tour of the maternity department at the hospital. More later!
