Rest of my trip in the states

Just want to wrap up my trip back to the states this past month with the last few pics!
.
Mom and I on Mother's Day- she took me to see Andrew Lloyd Weber's 'Evita'!!! I've always wanted to see it live and it was an amazing first mother's day gift :) Thanks again Mom!!!
Because I got/had to stay in the states for two weeks longer than expected, I got the chance to go visit Karl's family and friends (and Boo!!!!) in Indiana for a few days. This is a cute pic- Boo was interrupting my magazine reading time and put her paws on each side on my belly then took a nap on the bump...so cute! I miss my girl :( The whole gang...Debbie, Helen, Me, Mike, Lauren, Ryan, Rob, and Megan...and of course the two doggies, Minnie and Boo Boo and Helen having a nap...Boo is seriously spoiled :)

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Aguayo!

Congratulations to my big sister, Erin, who got married this afternoon to my new brother-in-law, Jose!!!! I'm so excited for the both of them and wish more than anything that I could be there to help celebrate and break a few of the pinatas :)
I can't wait to get all the details and I'm sure there's a great party going on in Alpine, TX right now. Congrats again you two and welcome to the family Jose!!!! Love you both! On a quick side note....check out my belly picture from earlier today...that big belly is the reason I can't be at Erin's wedding today!

Baby Shower and Brooks and Dunn concert!

I just have to say how lucky Karl and I are to have such amazing family and friends; I had such a wonderful time at my baby shower this past weekend and it was so nice to get to see everyone! Baby boy Schlegel is officially spoiled rotten and I can't wait to get back to Italy to show Karl all of the great gifts that we got! Thank you to all of you who made it such a memorable day and who so obviously love this baby already- we love you!
.
Me opening one of the gifts from my mom- there is a bib for every holiday of the year plus some!
Some of the baby loot! The diaper wipes warmer was a big hit with everyone and I'm sure the baby will love it, too :) Cooper made a grand entrance- I met him for the first time last weekend and it was love at first sight- I'll get pics up from our first meeting soon! Tina and I Me and my Blakely Best game ever- the dirty diaper game- each diaper has melted/smushed candy bars and you have to guess what kind of candy it was- looked so real it was disgusting (but fun!). Tina- very used to Cooper's dirty diapers by now- had no problem tasting the contents to try and win- brave girl! One of the food rooms- check out the clothes line with all the precious baby clothes over the window! As people send more pics, I'll be sure to update from the baby shower. It really was a great day and thank you again to everyone who made it to special!!! . . There was one great thing about not getting on the flight back to Italy last week...I get to hang out with my friends here for another two weeks! Last night Stephanie, her aunt, and friend Denise went to the Brooks and Dunn concert! Steph and I were a bit skeptical at first since we know a total of two songs by them, but we had such a great time! It was my night to prove that pregnant people are fun, too! Stephanie, Me, Susan, and Denise getting sushi in Va Beach before the concert (don't worry- I only ate the cooked stuff). Stephanie and I before we left Our sushi chefs- the guy on the left was awesome and had the coolest name...Dang Lee...haha! Steph and I at the show! Check out the belly shot- it looks like a basketball is stuffed up my shirt! The baby kicked the whole time- guess he likes loud music! A tribute to our troops...made me miss Karl even more :(
Red, white, and blue streamers! We thought the cowgirl banners were hilarious...oh country music....

Change of plans....

Well, I was expecting to be back in Naples by now, but the flight was full yesterday and I didn't make it on. I'm pretty bummed because I have to wait another two weeks to fly home and that's more time away from the hubby and we have to cancel our trip to Greece because I won't make it home in time :( I am looking forward to hanging out with my friends some more here for the next two weeks and am just praying that I make it out on the next flight (cross your fingers for me!). I will upload some pics from the baby shower this past weekend and show off my ever-expanding belly soon and if any one has pictures from the shower, I'd love to have them emailed to me so I can post those, too (lcaro@vt.edu)!
