What I Wore Sunday, Volume 10

Happy Sunday! Linking up with Fine Linen and Purple, as always. You should, too!
This non-maternity dress will definitely be a go-to outfit for as long as I can wear it this pregnancy. Roomy and nursing friendly. Dress: Banana Republic Factory Store. Belt: H&M. Shoes: $3 clearance find from JCPenney's  a few years ago that I don't wear nearly enough

Mass included our normal squirmy child who loved waving at everyone. Chris declared, "Well, it doesn't look like he is going to be an introvert like his parents." Ryan's behavior actually wasn't that bad comparatively which doesn't say much for his typical Mass decorum. He was terribly affectionate to me which was very sweet, but then it turned into smothering when he repeated tried to open mouth kiss me. He is in a kissing phase. The worse part came during the consecration when Ryan was silent for once like the rest of the church when a sweet baby let out a little wail which was a trigger for Ryan. "Baby!!!!!!" Sigh. 

After Mass, we ate at Reckers, the 24 hour restaurant that I worked at freshman to junior year. I was an expert smoothie maker, but toward the end of my time I took pride in my pizza-making! Luckily, the person working on the pizzas last night didn't disappoint. And the cashier girl serenaded some Ke$ha to me while taking my order (I guess she isn't introverted either because Chris has mentioned her belting out Top 40 hits previously when he had ordered). Can't get much better service than that, right?

Then we went to the Bookstore Basketball final. Ryan was mesmerized by the basketball, the Holy Cross College mascot, and the ND women's basketball team that were watching the game so he didn't even care that it was bedtime and he had only taken a thirty minute nap. It was a very close game that went into overtime, but the number one seed made up of players from the Holy Cross College official basketball team ending up beating the number two seed team made up a few friends from the same dorms. There were so many people there to watch!

A few sidenotes - Chris' bookstore basketball team's name, "Our Shots Drop Like the Facebook IPO," was ranked the third best overall. They made it to the round of 64 out of over 700 teams. 
- My brother-in-law's team, "Onions," made it to the Elite Eight! Woohoo!

  2. Super cute dress. Don't you just love classic outfits like that, that you can wear while non-pregnant, pregnant, breastfeeding, etc.

    Your dinner looks yummy!

  3. OH my goodness....your Recker's dinner looks amazing! Their pizzas are soooo good! (As are their smoothies!) SO jealous if it was really warm enough in the Bend to go without a coat! You look lovely.

  4. I do like that dress! Flattering and non-fussy.
    It's funny how kids can turn out so differently from their parents in that respect. My mom and dad are both pretty introverted, but my sister and I are extremely extroverted most of the time. I always wonder how that turned out :D

  6. You barely look pregnant at all!!! That's gonna be an awesome post-partum dress - so so cute :) I kind of love this stage of pregnancy because it's the perfect time to shop for nursing-friendly post partum clothes because you're about the size you will be when the baby is born :)

  9. Reckers and Bookstore Basketball?!? Lucky duck! My husband's teams were always movie quotes... "You're gonna love it, you're gonna love it" (Wedding Crashers) was a favorite. Another year it was something related to Mean Girls and their senior year was "Swim Trunks and Flippy Floppies" and yes, they wore swim trunks and flip flops in the snow during their game. It was quite the show!

  10. Love the dress! What a great basic piece you can do so much with. The shoes are rocking as well. Will be praying for a happy and healthy pregnancy for you.

  11. Never eaten at Reckers but love Bruno's and Nick's Patio. My son had the same button down (GmaB for Easter). Our son is also crazy outgoing and lacks the inability to socialize that my husband and I have picked up. Complete strangers are his best friends....
