Austin City Limits

This past weekend we went to Austin to visit with our friends and go to Austin City Limits. On Friday night we met Jenny and Zack at Cassie and Travis' house for dinner and we had so much fun! Jenny is also pregnant, just three weeks behind me, and Cassie has a 4 month old so there was lots of baby talk! The boys hung out and watched the presidential debate while we were gabbing away! It was the perfect start to our fun weekend. I sure do miss the Isaacsons and the Burkharts!

We stayed at Jenny and Zack's apartment for the weekend and as always they were very hospitable. Saturday afternoon the four of us headed out to Austin City Limits. Jenny and I really were not familiar with the bands playing, other than Beck and Eryka Badu, but the boys being the music lovers they are had a few bands that they were hoping to see. All in all, we had a pretty good time. There were TONS of people and it was very hot! There was no shade to be found other than one stage that was under a tent. We saw two bands perform there when we first arrived. It continued to get hotter as the day wore on and I clearly had not been drinking enough water while we were there. Hot weather + little water+ being pregnant= I was VERY dehydrated and therefore... FAINTED!! Yes, it is true! Jenny and I were having a good conversation during one of the concerts when all of sudden I felt really light headed and dizzy. It wasn't 10 seconds later that I fainted right there in the crowd! Luckily I didn't hurt myself, Mikey broke my fall, and I woke up right when my hand touched the ground. It was a little scary at first but I felt in good hands with Dr. Zack, Jenny, and Mikey. They gave me plenty of water and all three were fanning me to cool me down. I heard someone behind us say "someone had a rough day", implying I had been just like everyone else there drinking myself sick! Haha, little did they know! I am sure fainting or passing out at a place like this is not uncommon so I didn't at all feel embarrassed, just a little worried. After drinking water and resting I started to feel good again but we decided I had had enough for one day . I guess I had to learn the hard way about drinking plenty of water while you are pregnant! Take note friends!

Here are some pictures prior to my dramatic performance!
