Twilight DVD Release...

When you are as big of a Twilight fan as my friends and I are, you will look for any excuse for a Twilight related party. Friday night was no exception. We met at my friend Cassie's house and ate some wonderful homemade mushroom ravioli, salad, and breadsticks. We even made our own t-shirts. Mine said "Love Child Inspired by Edward Cullen" with a picture of him on my belly. We also played some really fun games planned by myself and my friend Lisa. When we left her house to head to the release party at Borders, I realized my jeep was gone. It had been towed! Here are some words of advice...if there isn't a sidewalk, that means it's private property and you can't park there. I had to learn that the hard way, especially since there were no visible signs pointing that out to me. Aside from the $200 fee and the creepy tow guy who lived in a camper at the impound yard, the night was a lot of fun!

Another Ultrasound

Today I had another action-packed ultrasound and appointment. It looks like the fluid level is ok, so no bed rest for me! The ultrasound chick (I mean technician) got 2 cool 3D pictures along with one of his face and profile. They aren't super clear, but hopefully you can see at least some of his features. It looks like it will be another chubby cheeked baby.
Kaylee told me yesterday that she might want to eat him when he gets here, so I better make sure we have plenty of snacks in the house by June so that doesn't happen.

Sigh and Swoon...

This post has nothing to do with babies or family or anything like that. My friend emailed me this picture today, and it lifted my day so much that I just had to share it with everyone. His hotness is never ending, thank goodness.

Still a Boy!

We had another ultrasound today, and it went pretty good. The doc says that the hole in his heart has closed up and he's looking healthy. I guess I'm running a little low on amniotic fluid, so I'll have to fill up the next time I go to the pump.
This is a picture of his cute little face. If you've had kids and ultrasounds, you'll probably be able to see his round little cheeks and head. If not, you're out of luck and you'll just have to wait until he's born to see how cute he is. Sorry, that's just how it goes.

Twilight Birthday

Every year my family has 5 different birthdays to celebrate in the month of January. This includes myself, 2 nieces, a nephew, and my brother-in-law. Since there are so many of us, we try to do something a little extra special for the event. My niece Lara came up with the great idea of having a Twilight themed party. Now why didn't I think of that? (Shame on me, I know).
The party was hosted by my brother and his wife, and it was awesome. The decorations were so pretty, and the food was applause worthy. I made a blood-red apple flavored punch that was almost as tasty and tempting as Bella must be to Edward.

It's a boy!

We had our ultrasound last week and were able to find out that we are having a boy. Gavin was in shock and Kaylee cried a lot. They have had some time to get used to the idea and they are both excited to have a little brother.
The ultrasound chic only gave me two stinking pictures. She was kind of stingy. The only other one she gave me was of his junk and I didn't really want to post that. So here's a pic of his cute little foot instead. Enjoy!

Happy New Years

Everyone should pat yourself on the back for making it through another year, don't you think?
We spent our New Years holiday in Rio Rancho, New Mexico with Ben's brother and their family. It was a nice change from past New Years plans.
A road trip in the middle of winter was a little scary at times, but we made it there and back just fine.
We spent some time at the park, visited Old Town Albuquerque, watched the boys play the Wii, scrapbooked, and celebrated my nieces Courtney and Jessica's birthdays. The girls got manicures, new ear rings, and ice cream sundaes at a cute 50's diner in the mall. They were such cute little princesses.
