Saturday morning we got up early to head downtown for the March for Babies.\u00a0 Adele and Meredith were already there when left but luckily traffic was light and we managed to find parking in the lot closest to the park.\u00a0 Justin, Robin, and Jude showed up pretty soon after we got there and Team Bradycakes was ready to walk!\u00a0 We took a very scenic walk across the bridge on Congress, up and around the capital, and back to Auditorium Shores.\u00a0 I haven’t heard any estimates as to how many walkers there were but there were a lot.\u00a0 It was quite impressive to be in a crowd with hundreds (thousands) in front and many behind.\u00a0 I was disappointed it was overcast and kind of breezy when we first arrived but by the time we crossed the finish line it was in the mid-70s and ended up being great weather for the walk.\u00a0 I’m really glad we were able to get out there and raise money and awareness about prematurity and hope we’ll keep walking in the future (hopefully next year it won’t be Mothers Day weekend).\u00a0 Thanks to everyone that donated and\/or walked with us!\u00a0 We worked up an appetite during the walk and we to Pluckers for wings and beer with Adele and Meredith.\u00a0 After lunch, we headed home and all three of managed to get a nap before heading out again.<\/p>\n
We woke up and drove down to San Marcos for Maebry’s 1st birthday party.\u00a0 It started sprinkling right as we were showing up but the weather ended up cooperating and we had a great time hanging out, eating cake balls, and chasing Brady around the playground and fields.\u00a0 After the party, we went to Justin & Robin’s and hung out for a couple of hours before driving home.\u00a0 Brady was worn out from all the activity but with the change of schedule was a little restless with her sleep.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, was my second Mothers Day!\u00a0 We ended up just hanging around the house and Casey bought some Framboise Lambec and made me his version of vanilla dream cupcakes…Texas-sized!\u00a0 Since we didn’t do anything yesterday, today we went to the NXNW Brewery and had lunch.\u00a0 The beers were good but the food was meh.\u00a0 Even Brady’s chicken fingers were overcooked and bland.\u00a0 We decided since we were nearby, we’d stop by Austin Home Brew and pick up a mozzarella cheese making kit.\u00a0 It’s just sitting in the fridge right now (we need to buy some more milk) but I’m excited to get started.<\/p>\n
Poor Brady is still teething with no end in sight.\u00a0 We’ve had to give her Tylenol a few more times lately.\u00a0 She has 10 teeth and the remaining 6 are at various stages of coming in and she is just sore and miserable.\u00a0 She’s gravitating towards liquids and super soft foods.<\/p>\n
Here are some pics of Brady swimming in the pool and from the March for Babies 2010!<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
