So, May

Heh.. I realized the other day that it's been more than a month since I posted on here leaving nothing updated for May.

Since getting pregnant, I wanted to make sure that my whole blog doesn't become completely overwhelming with baby stuff so I intended to post about other things. However, that might be tougher than I anticipated.. this being pregnant stuff is really all-consuming. But, in retrospect, I did do some things in May that were not specifically baby related:

I gave my bedroom a face lift...
Before:
this doesn't quite do the grossness of the green justice.. just believe me 
it was gross.

After:
Oooooh I love it!

And my littlest sister graduated from high school, so I popped up to be there for the ceremony:
made it almost to the end without tears :)

obligatory cap toss

And my Hubby and I took a trip all around Illinois to see the non-Chicago parts. We've dubbed it the Illinois Kitsch Extravaganza of 2012. Here's a taste:
Visiting Hubby's Alma mater in Champaign-Urbana, IL

in Ashmore, IL to see the World's Largest Lincoln Statue (tiny dot above my head)

Elizabethtown, IL - I can see Kentucky from my back porch! 

at Cave-in-Rock, IL visiting the big hole in the rock

Metropolis, IL

Liberty Bell of Kaskaskia, IL

Coming down from Monk's Mound at the Cahokia Indian Mounds
Collinsville, IL

Being chased by a Fire Dragon in Vandalia, IL

Cozy Dog Diner in Springfield, IL

Gorgeousness of northeastern Illinois

Yeah. So, May. It was pretty good!

Pregnancy *is* a whole-body experience, that is FOR SURE.

Love the dragon. I think that's my fav. Looks like an awesome trip!

That dragon was pretty awesome! Apparently made from all recycled stuff, it actually does breathe fire.
