The guys have been working hard on the crib project and yesterday they pinned up some of the pieces so we could see what the end of the crib will look like. It is going to be so pretty when they are done with it.

And some belly pics of what I look like now. I feel like I am growing so quick. I am completely out of regular clothes and all maternity now. Overall feeling pretty good minus some ligament pain. I took a few days off exercising and feeling so much better now. I must have overdone it.

I am now anxiously awaiting feeling the baby move. I have felt some weird sensations like flutters and rolling type feeling but not sure if that is the baby or not. The heart rate is still strong and fast 160-170ish bpm. Hopefully we find out the sex in 2 weeks. We are both dying to know.

Dad's Birthday

The cake looks so cool all lit up with candles...it was pretty funny when my dad blew out all 57 candles because there was quite a bit of smoke from it.

The cake...it was so yummy. A new cake out of the Hershey recipe book I got for Christmas

Dad thought we were just coming over today to help him with his TV and computer, but instead we surprised him for his birthday. His real birthday is on Tuesday March 9th. He was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the cake and visit from all of us. Jordyn was pretty cute too dancing with her grandpa.

Here's the very last minute birthday cake I made for Chris. I had been feeling kind of crummy all week with bad stomach pain so I ended up throwing this together last minute on Saturday morning. It ended up being one of my better tasting cakes but I wasn't really happy with the look. I did his favorite poppyseed and all frosted and decorated in a cream cheese frosting. Here is the link to this most delicious cream cheese frosting. I will definitely use it again. http://www.easy-cake-ideas.com/cream-cheese-frosting-recipe.html.

We ended up going to Corvallis with Don and Barb and went to Dinner with Chelsey and Lauren to celebrate Chris's birthday. And after dinner, Chris, Chelsey and Lauren played in an indoor soccer game. Unfortunately, Chris got his birthday present very early so he didn't have anything from me to open.
