Los Porchs Get (Continue to be) Ridiculous

This may shock you all, but I am a little shy sometimes.  I don't know why.  In fact, it's not a very consistent level of shyness either because some days I'm bold and willing to approach most anyone and others, I can't find the gusto to walk up to someone who I think I recognize from my friend's recent wedding party.  So we're sitting at the table with friends and I notice this chick and am 90% sure it's her.  I even went so far as to pull up the wedding pictures on Facebook to see if I could get a better comparison... but she wasn't wearing her glasses for the wedding pictures.  Three beers later, I magically had found my courage and made my approach.  Good news -- it was her.  And so we chatted and all was well.  With that off my mind, I could get into the dueling pianos.

We (first and) last saw each other in August, where we were both bridesmaids in a mutual amazing friend's wedding.
As they often do, things started to get more entertaining as the night continued on... before I know it, we're all singing along and I won't lie -- I saw some dancing.  Someone, who shall remain nameless (but was not me) was up on the pianos workin' the shit out of a tambourine.  Speaking of tambourines, there was a guy there who played the tambourine like it was his duty.  I heard someone say they thought he worked there, so I suppose that's the reason he was working the room?  Yo no sepa.

It's worth mentioning that our evening began at Los Porch's favorite neighborhood bar -- Beer Bistro -- with dinner and drinks.  If you've ever had the pleasure of sitting in the back booth, you're aware of the mermaid and the pose I'm about to strike (both in the picture below and in real life as I type because it's just that funny to me today)...

Things get ridiculous with Los Porchs sometimes, I'll be the first to admit.
 We were excited to meet up with a buddy of ours from college and his lady friend who I've heard so many amazing things about but never had the pleasure of meeting... 

I mostly blocked their faces for their own good, but also because it's funny.
... And I brought Mr. Porch and one of my dearest friends, Amy.  Ever recounted how you met someone and had the light bulb moment where you realize just how old you've gotten?  "Yeah, this is my friend Amy.  We were roommates in college our freshman and sophomore years... in 2002.  Holy sh----" Yes.  That was indeed my moment last night.  10 years Amy?  Seriously?  I don't know where they went, but I'm glad you've been around for them all!



I suppose it's worth noting that I've known Porch just as long.  I'm a pretty lucky lady when it comes to friends, I feel like I've got the best people in my life! 

We're having people over next weekend to say goodbye our Casa de Los Porchs (West Loop edition) and are seriously contemplating making people use Irish accents the entire day.  Because Los Porchs?  Are ridiculous.

Ciao!

The neighborhood gem

We have lived in our current place for about 2.5 years. Sunday marked the first time EVER that we walked to the neighborhood park and participated in open swim at the pool. I don't know why it took so long... maybe because we're not usually here on the weekends? Not sure. But Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we couldn't resist the urge to be outside but this preggo needed to be cool. I mentioned the pool and called to find out deets (hours, type of swim, fee, etc) and we slipped on our suits & were out the door in no time! We had been working all morning to assemble baby gear and catch up on laundry so we welcomed the break. We spent about an hour soaking up the sun and floating around in the water. We really aren't going anywhere (no more trips to the cabin or Green Bay for me) between now and the baby's arrival so I suspect that if the weather is nice, we'll be more likely to consider the pool.  Hey, it's clean, free, and close to home. Can...

when even the doctor feels badly for you

went for the repeat ultrasound yesterday with my heart filled with positive thoughts and feelings just to find out that my uterine lining is WAY too thick to move forward. in fact, dr. b was worried because my uterus and ovaries seem to be having different conversations about where they are in my cycle. blood was drawn and results revealed that i hadn't ovulated and so, my dear friends, i am back on birth control for an undetermined length of time. the short version of this paragraph:  i didn't bleed enough this month so i have to do it again. you know it's rough when even the doctor has that sad look in her eyes and wraps up the appointment with, "I feel so bad for you, it's just one thing after another." that's why i like her, to be honest. let's not sugar coat this process and let's skip the whole "we'll get 'em next time, tiger" pep talk. it sucks. and we're allowed to feel that, my fellow infertility peeps. it's o...

Maternity Pictures

I let out the biggest squeal of joy when I went to get the mail today and found this package waiting for me! Seriously, I've been stalking Bobbi's life and seeing everyone's amazing teasers was making me so much more excited to get our pictures!  I'm so happy to share the amazing work done by Bobbi at The Salty Peanut.  I highly recommend her to all of my Wisconsinite friends, particularly those in the Madison area, though she's willing to travel.  Check out the website here  and let her know that Mrs. Porch sent you her way!  Her work speaks for itself so I won't gush too much...... I seriously cannot pick a favorite.  So I'm not going to.  But you can!  :) Just 19 days until Baby Porch is predicted to arrive!  I'm so happy we got these back before she arrived; it's such a fun way to remember this exciting time in our lives.  And soon, we won't look nearly as well-rested, but we'll have ...
