Weeks 21, 22 and Great American Beer Festival

It's been a busy couple weeks and I've been a slacker with the posts...sorry!  I've been doing some crafting for the little guy, painted his room not once, but twice, Andy went to Moab to mountain bike 2 weekends ago and we drove to Fort Collins this past weekend to visit friends and go to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver.
I now realize that I've been only making bibs for older babies and toddlers.  I found this cute pattern and went a little crazy while Andy was in Moab :) 


I cut up a bath towel for the back and velcro for the neck


I also got super motivated and painted the baby room while Andy was in Moab.  He's so lucky I like to paint :)  I was going for grey but didn't want it to be too dark since it's a very small room.  It turned out barely off white with a hint of pastel blue.  Not a bad color but definitely not the goal.  So I repainted Monday night since Andy is in St. George for work.  Apparently I can't just relax when he's gone.  The 2nd color looks much better.  It's a bit dark and depending on the light it can look a little blue or green but I love it.  Andy hasn't seen it yet so hopefully he likes it too. 
This past weekend we made the drive to CO to visit our friends Matt and Cassie.  Andy and I worked with Matt at Mayo and they moved to CO about a year before our move to UT.  We usually get together every 6 months and always have a great time!  I think we'd been talking about going to the Great American Beer Festival for about 3 years and we were able to get tickets this year.  I wasn't going to let this whole pregnancy thing stand in the way!  I got a cheaper non-drinking ticket and let everyone else have fun for me.  They had a great designated driver section with snacks and root beer which definitely helped.  Amazing how many breweries and beers there are throughout the country.  Definitely going to have to go back and enjoy next year!
Week 22 with Matt and Cassie at the Beer Fest!
Just a couple more days and we're flying back to MN for a wedding and my first baby shower!  So excited to see all our family and friends!  I feel like I've kind of exploded in the last couple days and don't know how much longer I can wear my normal pants with the belly band so I'm sure everyone will be happy to see that :)  Almost to 23 weeks so I suppose it was bound to happen soon. 

Looking forward to seeing everyone!
Love,
Lexi
