Update and some old pictures

Things have been moving along quite well here in Sassari. Dinamo is currently 2-1, we have Milan at home this weekend, which will be a tough game to win, but I always have faith we will. I feel like I know the city pretty well now, and our apartment is set for the season.

Our baby has been moving and growing like crazy. I am now 30 weeks. Drake got home from a road trip on Monday to feel a very very active little guy. I have been growing lots, and feeling a bit more uncomfortable:) Sleep has officially become annoying, especially when I look over and see Drake in a nice peaceful slumber. It has been a bit different to experience pregnancy over here in Italy. I have come to realize that they are a bit more conservative when it comes to exercise. I joined a gym last week, and tried to attend a step class. I was getting lots of looks before the class started (which is pretty typical in Italy), but I figured it was because I was an american new girl. The teacher came over to me and told me that it was "impossible" for me to participate. So feeling rejected I figured I would just hop on a treadmill. After walking a while I started a slow jog (which I have been doing my whole pregnancy), next thing I know a woman is standing next to my machine, wagging her finger, telling me that I shouldn't be running, only walking. So I just figured I would stop running and continue walking. I appreciate the concern, but come on! Let me do my thing:)

Some of the pictures are a little old, but I just uploaded them. Here the guys are about to leave for a road trip. I think they are so cute in their matching outfits.
This was in preseason, the team had a weekend tournament in Cagliari (a couple hours away) and me and my best girls went to check it out. We had such an awesome room. Cagliari was a great city.
After the tournament, our team president hooked the guys up at a local golf course. Drake has a bandage above his nose because he got an elbow to his forehead and needed stitches the night before.
Had to capture this moment. A swarm of girls waiting for Drake after the game. I could hear them saying "Te amo Drake"
The start of a new season! Here we are prior to our first game... which we won:)

Hi! I"m Nanette Sammy's wife. I've enjoyed reading your blog. It's so nice to see another point of view of living abroad. We've been following Drake since he left Depaul. So happy you are both doing well. Congrats on the little one. Pregnancy in a different country is hard, at least for me it was! Everything I craved was back home. :) Just wanted to introduce myself. Wish you a safe, healthy pregnancy.
