Big as a whale (25 weeks, 3 days)

Today didn't end up being a great day, but I'm going to have to write about it tomorrow to vent. Tonight, I just needed to calm down, but I promise Sprout and I are okay. Instead of focusing on my day though, though, I wanted to focus on something happier! Aaron and I went to the brand new Georgia Aquarium this Sunday. It was fantastic and the big exhibits were astounding. I was a giant geek running around going, "Ooh, penguins! Ooh, otters! Ooh, sharks!" Everything was the BIGGEST! BIGGEST FISH (the whale shark -- they have 2 of those, one pictured at right). BIGGEST TANK! BIGGEST LINE AT THE CAFE! I was not the biggest thing around this time! I even surprised Aaron by having gotten us 2 "fish scales" with our names on them. (As part of a fundraiser, you could put your name on one wall of the aquarium in little fish shapes that light up.) You have to understand that this was a big deal, because I kept it a secret from Aaron for a good 7 months! I can never wait that long to keep something from him. I always ask if he wants his birthday or anniversary gifts early, just because I am so terrible at keeping secrets from him!

We had a good time on Sunday and probably spent half of our time watching babies and "shopping" for strollers. That was probably worth the admission. Aaron even chatted up a lady who had both the brand of stroller we covet AND had her little boy in an Le Top cowboy outfit similar to one I've bought. Glad for the season tickets we bought as I will enjoy taking Sprout there in his stroller and Le Top outfit during the upcoming year.
