Baby's first LIVE Bama Game!

We enjoyed our trip back to Alabama for the Bama vs. Penn State game.  I was prepared for a LONG day.  For those of you that did not attend a school with a football tradition like Alabama, here a few details. In the fall, you can block off at least 12 hours for tailgating and game time on a Saturday.  So, being pregnant added some fun to my 12-16 hour day!!

Best event of the day -- besides AL winning: People giving up their tailgating chairs with foot stools to me so that I could sit down.

Best feeling of the day: Feeling the baby kick when I jumped up quickly to cheer for touchdowns.

Worst event of the day: Walking 2 miles back to the car after the game.

Worst feeling of the day: Extreme exhaustion after tailgating from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.  Then having to fight traffic back to Birmingham..making my day a 17 hour experience -- with no nap!

Tailgate carving: Loaded cheese fries from Wings (and I got them!!)

Pictures below!

Resting -- trying not to have swollen ankles

Getting my hydration on point!

Excited to be here!

Yep! I started feeling the baby about 15 weeks. I can't wait until Chris can feel it.
