less than 8 weeks left!- Spinach Tortellini with Sausage in Tomato Cream Sauce

I have been in the mood to blog but have not been able to think of something to say so I am defaulting to a yummy new dinner that Dusty and I have been having lately. I got the idea from Pinterest and while I did not follow their recipe I do think it came out wonderful!

Note this is a picture of my left overs the next day but you get the gist...

Ingredients:
2 boxes of Buitoni Spinach Tortellini  (the small boxes)
1 lb of sausage (in links, we used The Godfather sausage from Lowes Foods)
1 cup heavy cream
1 24 oz jar of Bertolli Tomato Sauce
Parmesan Cheese

1- Follow instructions for Tortellini, you will have to boil water with oil in it to cook these
2- cut sausage links into bite size pieces then fry in a frying pan until fully cooked
3- in a sauce pan heat the cup of cream until it starts boiling (warning, WILL RISE QUICKLY) then add some Parmesan cheese (as much as you want) and add the Bertolli sauce, keep this pot on low so it stays warm while your tortellini finishes and when your sausage finishes just transfer the pieces into the sauce!
4- once everything is cooked combine in a bowl and serve!! It is that easy!

You can always sub out ingredients like the tortellini for a ravioli or a penne (I personally prefer the cheese filled pasta) and the Bertolli sauce for a homemade or a hunts canned sauce, really whatever floats your boat and fits your budget. There were plenty of left overs for the two of us and we plan on doubling the recipe and making it during our beach trip for us, Dusty's parents and his sister and her fiance! I doubt the kids would eat it but that is more for me and Oliver for left overs! (you can never have enough options when it comes to second lunch, pre-dinner, fourth meal, etc...ahh the life of a hungry pregnant woman!)

30 weeks, 3 days- Good thing Oliver is NOT like his mommy!

Today I am 30 weeks and 3 days pregnant. "What is the significance of this?" one may ask. Well, quite simply it is this:

This is me, tube down the throat to help me breathe and lots of machines keeping me going. I was born at 30 weeks and 3 days, I was a decent size since mom had Gestational Diabetes but my lungs collapsed and were not developed enough to function on their own. PLUS I developed double pneumonia which helped NOTHING.

I constantly have nightmares that my water has broken and Oliver is coming so soon or that I start bleeding and he has to come out. In reality he seems to be just fine staying inside and I am not having contractions or anything that would indicate that he is planning a super early entrance into the world. On Thursday I have a growth ultrasound to make sure my placenta abnormality isn't causing him not to grow which I am not worried about because at 26-27 weeks he was already 2lbs 5oz and is probably about 3 lbs now and is still moving and kicking like he is getting paid for it! I originally told him he could not come before September 7th at 6pm to allow Noah to have his birthday party but I said if he HAS to come early I'd at least appreciate that he stays in until 35 weeks at which 99% of babies come out perfectly healthy for the most part.

Overall, I am happy that at least in this way Oliver is NOT taking after his mommy. 9 weeks and 4 days left!!

Pregnancy Milestones- 75 days until Oliver's estimated date of arrival!

 I was on Baby Center and they have an option to note when you hit certain milestones in your pregnancy and since most of you have no reason to visit that site I figured I would share these dates to remember with YOU!

Picked a name: Don't remember exactly, we had started talking about names way back before we were engaged as Anita and Michael were contemplating names for a baby they were thinking of having before little Mikey came to be. We had picked 2 boys names and 2 girls names and while so far we have changed these names a little we have kept most of the options and are all set for one more after Oliver!

Positive pregnancy test: 1/15 I believe, I know we were house/dog sitting for my parents while they were in NY with my sister and that Dusty and I were getting ready for work and Noah wasn't there so it couldn't have been a Friday. 3 positive tests and our world was turned upside down. Did I cry? Yes, I thought I wouldn't fit into my dress for the wedding as I had JUST had it altered!! As luck would have it I lost so much weight that it was loose!

Told partner: Same as the positive tests.

Told friends and family: 1/19 we told our immediate family as we are terrible at keeping secrets when we we are so excited. Friends/Facebook 1/24 via the following post:

 First ultrasound: 3/02- The day after our bridal shower I woke up bleeding and while very upset and scared ended up going to the ER where we had some tests and an ultrasound. Dusty had to take Noah out of the room since it was an internal ultrasound and it wouldn't have been appropriate for him to stay in there and they wouldn't say anything or print me a picture but I got my first view of our little guy growing inside me! I cried a bit.

Heard heartbeat: 3/10- We had one of our regular pre-natal visits a month before the wedding and the doctor hear Oliver's hearbeat nice and strong at only 11 weeks. She said she was impressed and that it was a very good sign because hearing a strong heartbeat usually means you are less likely to miscarry from that point on! Such a good visit!

Started second trimester: 3/21

Felt my baby move: 4/13- we were in the car on the way to Anita and Michael's house after little Mikey's dedication at church and I was falling asleep a little in the car when I felt like a popcorn kernel popped in my stomach. It was weird and I didn't feel it again for a little which made me think it wasn't him but I believe it was!

Found out my baby's sex: 5/4- Heather was adamant on throwing us a gender reveal party so she could reveal her niece to our friends and family. Unfortunately for Heather her niece and potential flower girl ended up being a nephew!

Halfway through my pregnancy: 5/9- 20 weeks down, 20 to go!

Found out about some Complications: 6/24- During this visit to the OB the doctor we were seeing was listening to Oliver's heart and heard that it beat an extra time every 10th beat or so. She felt it was probably just an arrhythmia that would go away by birth but sent us for another ultrasound and a fetal echo which showed that a. yes he was a boy, that he had all the right parts of his heart, and that the issue was caused by PAC's which pretty much meant that his heart should be fine but he needs some extra monitoring. We also found out that my placenta might be slightly abnormal but that is just something else to monitor a little more closely.

Started third trimester: 6/27 I hear this is when I am supposed to be begging the baby to go ahead and come out. I am impatient to meet him but he needs to bake a little longer before I would like him to come out and this mommy and daddy still need time to get ready and save money before that happens. I told Oliver that he can come September 8th or after as I will be full term and Noah's birthday party will have passed!

Started childbirth class: 7/8 - We signed up for Childbirth classes through the Forsyth County Health Department for 4 Tuesdays in July. Apparently they teach us about the stages of labor, ways to deal with the pain of labor and delivery, and try their best to convince you to not let anyone induce you until 42 weeks pregnant, not to accept any pain medication at all and that you need to breast feed or you are the devil. Ok, maybe not to that extreme but they do their best to drive home the point. The first class was ok, I found that I was not one for guided imagry as it just made me sleepy and left my mind to wander to other things like if Property Brothers was on HGTV that night, Dusty enjoyed it though and found himself very relaxed. We watched a video of some lady going through the stages of labor with her all natural birth and I found that, while informative, all it left me was scared to death of the pain. There is just something about watching this confident person break down crying because she doesn't understand how the pain could possibly get any worse and yet somehow was that just made me very VERY terrified of labor. I am semi-looking forward to the rest of our classes and am excited to report that we won the first week's raffle for outlet covers to start baby proofing our apartment!

These next few haven't passed yet but we know when they will be!

Went on a babymoon: 8/7-8/11 Well...we went on our honeymoon while pregnant in April but in August Beverly and Lyle want to take the family on a beach weekend where they, Heather and her family and Dusty Noah and I will go to the beach and relax and spend time together. This will be our last vacation before Oliver is here and we are very much looking forward to it. I know it is going to be very hot which will be difficult for me but hopefully the relaxing aspect will make it worthwhile! Plus, Noah is going to the beach the NEXT week as well and we will miss out on a couple of days more than we usually miss him PLUS he won't be able to come to the baby shower because he will be having too much fun at the Beach with his Mawmaw and PawPaw to care about baby stuff. I am kind of bummed that he will be missing it but I am doing my best not to be selfish and remember that he will have a much better time there.

Baby shower: 8/17 is the date set for the baby shower. I have MY invitation and I must say they came out awesome. I am so excited for the opportunity to see so many wonderful people and to get the items we need to take care of our new addition. I am very thankful to my mom, my mother in law and my sister in law for all the hard work they are doing to plan and prepare for this fun event!

These last few have also not passed yet but they will come in the next 75 days or so!

Finished the nursery: After the baby shower we will work on this. I will probably be employing assistance in setting up baby furniture so Dusty doesn't have to do it alone since I wont be super helpful at 8 months pregnant even though I love putting things together. We aren't painting since we live in an apartment and would just have to paint it back but hopefully we will get some decorations to hang to make the baby side of our room all set for the little guy!

This isn't our actual nursery but this is the bedding we picked!

Baby dropped: I worry about this because I have always carried Oliver very low so if he plans on dropping, he may do so in a much more literal sense than expected.

Went into labor: As discussed, Oliver knows not to start any such business until at least 5 or 6pm on September 7th if not after so that he doesn't interfere with Noah's birthday celebration! Of course I say that now but as most people know, kids rarely listen to reason...

Went on maternity leave: I plan to work as long as I possibly can. I already told my supervisor that if labor starts at work I am staying as long as possible. The plan is that when I am in early labor and have contractions but am still ok in between I will stay off the phones and focus on e-mail, letters, special projects, etc to ensure I am still getting work done. I will also begin delegating any open things I have left to do so that they can be taken care of while I am out. I promised that once I got to a point where I knew I wasn't able to be productive and do my job that is when Dusty and I would head out to continue on our labor path.

Ollie Ollie Oxen-Free!

So, my little munchkin butt is already causing his mommy stress! On the day that I went for my sugar test to see if I had gestational diabetes, a test all pregnant women are unfortunately but understandably put through, my OB found that our little growing angel has an arrhythmia, or simply put a condition in which the heart beats with an irregular or abnormal rhythm. The doctor said that she felt that he was ok but since she cannot practice medicine on her gut feelings she was sending us for an ultrasound of Oliver's heart to see what the next step was going to be.

Thursday we went for the ultrasound and they were able to see the arrhythmia (and see that yes, he really is a boy- sorry Heather, I know you were still holding out hope) and let us know that they believe it is something called Premature Atrial Contractions, or PAC's and that alone they are pretty common and harmless and usually go away by birth BUT since they could be caused by an underlying condition they were sending us for a fetal heart echo to see if they can see any congenital heart defects.

Yesterday we got to see one of Karlee's doctors who checked his heart and said that his heart looks great, all the pieces are there and from what he can see it is perfectly healthy. Seeing as there are always chances of problems that can't be seen before birth he did let us know that if he were to have a minor hole in his heart or something like that, generally easy to treat or fix, he could't say 100% but from what he can see he is confident that it was PAC. He explained this diagnosis in the following way:

Everyone's heart has a certain group of cells that sends out an electrical like impulse that tells the heart to contract and this makes it beat and Oliver's heart has this group that sends out it's impulse a healthy 155 times each minute. Oliver has a second group of cells that every once in a while sends out an impulse throwing the rhythm off for a moment or two.  The doctor explained that even though Oliver is having these extra impulses fairly often it isn't harmful and the group of cells sending the impulse will more than likely burn itself out by birth and if they don't Oliver will probably get another echo just to re-confirm PAC's but still they are not harmful. Even if his heart started to get the extra impulse every other beat at this point he should be fine. 

All that being said there are some things that need to be done differently to make sure he stays fine. While caffeine is already limited for pregnant women, I have to do my best to avoid it even more so since it can exacerbate his arrhythmia. I also have to go in about once a week to have the OB listen to Oliver's heart rate as the one danger we do have to keep an eye out for is for his heart rate to jump into the 200 and up range meaning that that extra group of cells is just constantly firing and he would be getting tachycardia (meaning his heart is beating abnormally fast) which could cause his heart to wear out which is no good! They don't have an exact percentage of the chances of this but they said it is fairly rare and don't believe it will happen but want to keep an eye out so that if it happens we can treat him as needed without letting his heart overwork for over a week.

Another potential issue we have learned about is that I have a slightly abnormal placenta called a Circumvallate placenta, what does this mean? This is a placental disease in which the fetal membranes (chorion and amnion) "double back" on the fetal side around the edge of the placenta. After delivery, a circumvallate placenta has a thick ring of membranes on its fetal surface. Our OB has let us know that it isn't something to be too concerned about because it usually doesn't cause a problem but to make sure that the placenta continues to do it's job they will be checking the baby via ultrasound about every 4 weeks until Oliver is born.  

All together Oliver should be fine but that doesn't mean that this mommy to be hasn't been super stressed lately over all of this. We have our follow up with our regular OB office on Monday to discuss all these fun tests.

Oliver hasn't been phased too much by the tests except for pushing back when they push on him. He moves around like crazy and has been rolling around which is super weird to feel! Today he has been kicking ALL DAY. It is crazy that I looked down today and felt like my belly grew overnight! There are about 87 days left until Oliver's estimated due date and in a week we will be starting our birthing classes! Next month will be our final beach trip before baby and our BABY SHOWER! So excited!

Some things I have been asked regarding being pregnant:
Cravings? Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing- I swear I could drink the stuff!
Appetite? I feel like a bottomless pit and am ALWAYS hungry!
Are you aware that Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas got married the same weekend you did and then named their recently born son Oliver? Yes, they are totally copying us...

I think that is all for now!

24 weeks down, 16 weeks to go! What YOU can expect while I'M expecting

So there are a million books out there about what I can expect each week/month of my pregnancy. Many are informative possible symptoms, size/development of the baby, tests available or suggested, eat this, don't eat that, sleep this way and so on and so forth. In some books they even tell husbands/partners what to expect while their wives/partners are growing their next generation. In this blog post I am going to tell you what to expect from me as someone who interacts with me from time to time.

1.) Baby Bump Pictures- you can expect me to NOT take or post any pictures showing you my growing belly. Don't get me wrong, these pictures are adorable...if you didn't spend most of your life already looking huge! Quite frankly I don't see baby bump when I look at myself from the side, I just see the same old overweight person I have always been. When I am standing I can see that my upper abdomen has puffed out and gotten firmer and when I lay on my back I can feel a large hard bump where my baby is growing. Perhaps, depending on what I look like by then, I will take a picture or two at the baby shower or the day I go into labor? Who knows, but just know, I am not secretly storing bump pictures, I am just not even taking them.

2.) Worrying- Something that may not seem too out of character for most pregnant women is constant worrying and you can expect me to follow the pack on that one. Can you blame me though? I have an amazing niece who was born with with CHD and spent a very long time fighting for her life when she was born, I personally was born too early that I spent months in the hospital as my lungs tried to develop not to mention all of the horror stories I have heard/read/witnessed with miscarriages, still-births and birth defects. So needless to say, I am going to worry all the time that something is going to go wrong. I was assured at about 11 weeks or so that we were doing great, the doctor heard a strong heartbeat which they were surprised at so early and said that chance of miscarriage goes down greatly once a strong heartbeat is heard. We also had our Anatomy Scan and got to hear how our little boy is developing perfectly, and all organs and such exist and look great. Still, I am going to worry. I try not to let the worrying weigh me down or cause me distress, I try to think positively like Dusty who reminds me constantly that we have no reason to think there is a problem, but it will always be at the back of my mind. And if all THAT worrying wasn't enough don't even get me started on the "which bottle will Oliver like" thought process. 12 different types of bottles and we have no way to know which he will end up using??

3.) Breast Feeding- You don't need to tell me the million and one reasons every woman in the world should breast feed. I've heard them all. I am still not going to do it. I have nothing against breast feeding as it is great for providing antibodies and nutrients FOR FREE for your child and a great opportunity for bonding, I am not opting out because I don't see these benefits, I am opting out because there are other factors I need to consider. First of all, I am on blood thinners due to my history of DVT and while no one will say that there isn't a danger to the child, studies DO show that the blood thinners can affect the time it takes for the baby's blood to clot and I do not want to put my baby at risk. Another reason I vote no is because I have anxiety issues and a history of depression and the medicine that will work best cannot be taken while breast feeding and even worse if I develop PPD I will be less likely to ask for help if I am holding myself responsible to provide my child's food. I have been depression free for quite a while but I have struggled with my anxiety for a while and having to be medication free during this pregnancy has been hard. I can only imagine how bad my anxiety will be as I am adjusting to life with a baby. So whether you agree or approve I don't care. This is what I feel is best and that is what matters.

4.) Nerd Baby- Haaaaave you met me and my husband? If you have then you can understand that our child will have Superhero themed stuff, lots of books, onsies referencing comic books, Harry Potter, StarWars, etc. Thanks to sites like Cafe Press and Etsy these things are more attainable than ever which is good because something else you should know is I hate all that baby boy stuff with mustaches on them or with camo or with really inappropriate things that while are funny for a second they are not appropriate for a baby's onesies.

5.) Baby Bottle Gift Cards- As stated earlier registering for bottles is a major source of stress. Overall I think we are aiming for Ollie to like Avent or Dr. Brown's bottles but I can't just CHOOSE one because Ollie may not like them and cause us to have to return lots of them. I am thankful that my sister in law is giving us some Dr. Browns, Mam's, and Tommie Tippie to try out if we need to and we registered for one small pack of Avent and one of the Nuk orthopedic ones. Long story short if you are wanting to contribute to our bottle or even paci needs a great idea is to get just ONE bottle and a gift card that we will use on our first family outing to get the choice bottle of Oliver Haynes.

I am sure there will be a whole lot more that I (we) encounter during this exciting time but this is all I can think of right now.

4 months to go! Baby Haynes update!

I'm sorry if I have been out of touch these days. Most of the time it has been the same routine, wake up, work, dinner, sleep, repeat. I haven't been in much of a blogging mood from being tired so much but today I woke up extremely anxious and thought maybe just typing would help.

The biggest thing that has happened recently is that we got to see our little boy on ultrasound!

We got to see him wave and jump (literally) and turn and put his feet over his head and it was amazing. His heart and head and organs looked good, the doctor explained that the Ultrasound techs have a checklist of things to look into at the Anatomy scan and our little boy looked perfect! Oh, and if you didn't already know we we found out he is a BOY! Little Oliver Holden Haynes measured exactly 18 weeks and 3 days on the day he was estimated to be this far along and surprised many people at our gender reveal party with his y chromosome!

I don't remember the exact day that I knew for sure I was feeling him kick and move but  I think the first time I felt him was the Sunday after the wedding, I felt like a bubbly popped in my belly, it only happened once and I didn't feel anything again for a while, at least not that I noticed but now I feel him moving every day when I start to relax. Dusty has been able to feel him move too! I can't imagine how much stronger his movements are going to get because at 22 weeks 3 days he can kick really strong!

Another exciting thing we got do do was register for baby stuff! I have to admit it was quite overwhelming and very tiring! Of course when you go to a baby store or a baby section what stands out most? Baby clothes! What is one thing you don't need to register for? Baby clothes! We did what we could to register for the basics a crib, stroller/carseat travel system, pack and play, swing, high chair and much much more! I think the hardest part of it is the fact that you can't tell what kind of bottles or pacifiers he will like, what kind of diapers or wipes will work best for him. We are going to need to make a babies r us or target or walmart run on the way home from the hospital after testing a few bottles to stock up on such things! I think I am going to eventually make a blog post about some of the things on the registry just to share the digs our little man will be in once he moves out of his studio apartment and into the real world!

I am excited that Noah is interested in the baby. He always asks me if he is here yet, to which I remind him that he will be 4 before Baby Ollie makes his appearance. When we read stories in the morning I asked him if he would help me read to Ollie when he is here and he says he will, he'll read the Prince book since he can read that all by himself. We always let him know what kind of things he can help with like holding Ollie, maybe feeding him, teaching him letters and numbers and one day how to poop on the potty! He takes his job as a big brother very seriously. He is getting lots of practice with his little sister too. When his mom came to pick him up yesterday she brought the baby up and he points at her and says "I love her." It melted my heart. He then brought Dusty over to where her car seat was and told him to look at her little face. He was very proud and it makes me excited for when his brother is here.

Unfortunately my anxiety is still here, full force, so I am going to call it a day for now. Hope you enjoyed the update!

Wedding Day Re-Cap!

Hello! I am writing to you for the first time as Mrs. Dianna Haynes! That is so exciting! I still sit and marvel that I am married. I look at Dusty and am like , "you are my HUSBAND" and he smiles and says, 'and you are my wife." It is crazy, it always felt like the wedding was forever away and now it is 5 days past us! I am surprised to report that I did not cry at the wedding. I predicted that the excitement and hormones would have made me a blubbering baby but rather the happiness that I was finally becoming Dusty's wife kept a smile on my face all evening, that whole day I had not a worry in the world (well...I was worried that a child would trip and get hurt when they were running around but that is every adult's fear when kids run...right?).  If you were unable to make it to the big event or even if you were there let me re-cap for you.

1.) What was the date and time of your wedding? April 11, 2014 at 5:00pm

2.) What was the weather like? The weather was gorgeous. High of 75, partly cloudy, not a rain drop to be seen but a nice breeze to keep us cool! LOTS of pollen though, just ask Dusty's Tux!

3.) What kind of food/beverages did you serve? During cocktail hour we had a cheese and cracker assortment (I stole some cheese cubes while waiting to make our grand entrance because I was STARVING!), drink options were water, sweet tea or lemonade (apparently the best lemonade in the entire world according to everyone who told me about it AFTER the fact!), Dinner was a bacon wrapped turkey tenderloin with a whisky glaze, red skinned mashed potatoes with bacon and cheese on the side as mix ins, macaroni and cheese, grilled vegetables (they gave me my own side of just asparagus) and yeast rolls. It was all amazing! Best wedding food ever in my opinion!

4.) What kind of cake did you have and who made it? We had a 3 layer hexagonal cake from Dewey's bakery, the top and bottom layers were chocolate and the middle was red velvet all with white icing and decorated to match our cinema theme. The cake was fresh, moist and delicious, not to mention the fact that it looked amazing. Dewey's did a great job!

5.) Did everyone who RSVP attend? No, we had a few no-shows but it happens, it did lead to lots of left over delicious food!! We did have some FAR away out of town guests make it in from New York (Lauren and John,) Gabby and Joe), New Hampshire (Alex), Colorado (Katie), Massachusetts (Sam and Mike).

6.) Did your ceremony run smoothly? For the most part, our processional got a little out of sorts when my nephews forgot to push mom down the aisle in her wheel chair so she came in right before me and dad, our flower girl and ring bearer walked down the aisle with our best man and matron of honor (which was absolutely adorable by the way!), I forgot to switch my engagement ring to my right hand before the ceremony so I (probably not so subtly) moved it right before getting my wedding ring, and Noah yawned very loudly after we said our vows which cracked everyone up. All in all it was wonderful.

7.) Did your reception run smoothly? It got a little out of sorts, we didn't have a set order of events which got a little hectic, I didn't bustle my train right away so it got in the way of our first dance and tripped a lot of people during the reception (no one got hurt), no one really danced except Dusty and I with our parents but since we aren't big on the whole dancing thing it worked for us and the kids had the whole front outdoor space to play and run and I can't be sure that I spent enough time with EVERYONE because I kept moving around or being pulled aside for a question or something, hopefully no one felt neglected!

8.) Did you get all of the pictures you wanted? Who knows?? Our photographer was amazing, she came and shot our wedding even though she doesn't do photography anymore and did an awesome job. She had 5 photos to me THAT NIGHT and all of them were amazing. Dusty and I had made signs to use in the photos but realized that we left them in the room so we only used one of them and figured we could add the quotes digitally after the fact. I believe that the rest of the pictures will turn out amazing as well and lots of people have shared their pictures with us on Facebook.

9.) What was your first dance song? Everything Else Disappears by Sister Hazel

10.)What song did you dance with your dad to? I Loved her First by Heartland

11.)What song did the groom and his mother dance to? My Wish by Rascal Flatts

12.) What was your last dance song? We didn't have one, no big deal though.

13.) Who caught the bouquet? Lily McLean

14.) Who caught the garter? We didn't do that.

15.) What were your favors? We had boxes of popcorn and little clapboard picture holders

16.) What did you do for your send off? We didn't have one, we took a picture holding a sign that said "to be continued" in the hall where our room was.

17.) Where did you spend your wedding night? We stayed in the Johnson Room right at the Manor House. The room was right down the hall from our reception and it was beautiful!! The bed was comfy, Lauren, Anita, Brittany and Katie decorated our room before we retired for the night which was awesome, and breakfast the next morning was AMAZING!! Best breakfast ever of fresh Blueberry scones, eggs, bacon, fruit, toast, and orange juice!!

18.) Did anyone decorate your car? Yes! Our car had been written on apparently NOT by David & Sierra with Noah's help! Noah kept claiming that it was some woman with black hair that had him draw on the windows, we named people and he just said no until he said that David and Sierra let him draw on it. He was tickled that he got to draw on the trunk (the back windshield), and the sides "but not the front" and he apparently drew potatoes.

19. Did you take a honeymoon? Yes, we went to Wilmington, NC and are currently still ON our honeymoon. Note the water at the beach is flippin COLD in April!

20. Would you do anything different? While sitting in a movie theater yesterday we thought it would have been cool to have random movie trivia while people were waiting for the ceremony to begin but besides that nope because our wedding was awesome.
