Now that I am home and I am 36 weeks along I am heeding everyones advice and resting as much as I can while I still can. Mainly this means daily naps which provides the simplest of joys but it's about time I do something productive while kicking my feet up. So blog catch-up it is. Here's to a post about a 7.5 month pregnant lady that went to a Bachelorette Weekend in Chicago for her best friend.
Here's the lovely bride and my high-school/ forever friend Liz.
With her sister and MOH enjoying cocktails with a view.
Cheers; my water glass is hiding.
We had such a fun crowd for a weekend in the city with cocktails, Tapas, bars, dancing, and Ice Cream.
And cheers again! You might notice that all the guests have ribbons tied around their wrists and this was the greatest Bachelorette idea ever. Everyone was given a ribbon at random and then we found out that the colors stood for different types of drinks (yellow=beer, silver=wine/champagne, blue= cocktail, white=shots) and whenever the bride was up for another drink she snagged a ribbon to indicate her drink preference. This was a cute way for us to treat her and to count up her drinks as she collected ribbons up her wrist!
I wore my non-maternity J. Crew tank to hide my belly as best I could, there was no hiding my poor swollen feet though. That said, I was in the best company of people who slowed down to my pace and made sure I always had a chair at the bar!
My favorite thing about Bachelorette parties is that you get to meet all the wonderful women in the brides life and it makes the wedding 10x more fun because of all the people you know.
M for McGervey.
Saturday night ended at a piano bar with bachelorettes galore and Liz was easily convinced to dance on stage.
We rounded out the weekend with Mass on Sunday morning, brunch, and ice cream in the neighborhood. We had a great time with some great ladies celebrating one week until LizChucksEverett!
