Busy Busy

Okay, so I have not been on here in awhile and decided I had better write somethings! We will start with the softball team. The girls are all great! They all have the best personalities and definetly keep us coaches on our toes! For their first game we had to travel 10 hours on a tour bus south to Naples. That was a very very long bus ride with softball and baseball. The town of Naples is...... different. Kind of dirty, but cool to see. We had to sleep in a tent but it looked more like a circus tent but with a hardwood floor. Lets just say it made us all bond! I was the only smart one to bring an air mattress! I guess I was the only pregnant one so I kinda needed it! When we arrived to the fields we had 30 minutes to get changed and get on the field. Let me just inform you that we have not had a field to practice on cause of all the negotiations going on with it. So we have been on a field twice before the game. I think the girls were all really nervous and we lost the first game 17-1. It kinda reminded me of our softball team in high school! The next day we played another team called Sigonella, they were from Sicily and the girls were more prepared. We ended up winning 16-15 all because of our managers awesome job at keeping score. They were going to end the game at 13-14 but they missed a run so it was tied and we came back to win. It was very intense. The girls next game is luckily at home so no traveling! It has been so fun to be helping these girls. Everyone on the team calles me "lady with a baby" or "bump master"!!!!!! So I am about 17 weeks along and I finally got to hear the heartbeat this week. It was pretty cute! On May 11th we will get to find out what the sex is. We are both very excited and the grandparents are already buying clothes and presents! They are also saving up money to come to Italy to see their first grandchild born! What a cool thing this baby will be able to say "yeah, I was born in Italy!" Wish i could say that! Well, i have talked your ear off enough now so I will keep you all posted! I love seeing everyones baby pictures! Can't wait to post my own!
