Dear Baby,

I know you know our voices well by now. Mostly from me you get pleas asking you to leave me alone and stop kicking my personal places. You also hear me read you books like 

 and .

Your dad, however, is a different story. He is reading you The Fiddler's Gun. Lol. He is going to be great though. 

I promise.

Love,

Momma

happy belated 4th

For the first time since Chris and I have been together, we went to the country (Warrenton) for the 4th of July. It was wonderful and blissfully lazy. Fun times with funny people, blowing things up, just chattin', and a little karaoke...

sweetness. 

baking with baby pics

here is the link to my other blog that has all my cakes. 

the dog bowl, pennant, and tractor are the ones i most recently made.

enjoy!

(bonus points: look for my big belly bump making an appearance in some of the photos)

hello hiccups

they are officially here and being felt by yours truly.

apparently hiccups in the womb are not only completely normal but a good indicator that the baby is healthy so i will try to rejoice in them. :)

this is sawyer wondering what they heck those are.

in other related news... glucose test today.... that stuff is really not that bad tasting. it tastes like those cheapy drinks from fiesta that come in the little plastic barrels with foil on top. anyone know what i'm talking about... anyone? bueller?

**update picture**

this is what i was talking about

my sweet momma wheels!

Fortunately (?) I got into a minor car accident which really put a little pep in our car searching step. Result...

Welcome to the family Rav4 which I am already madly in love with!

Also, thank you Carmax! You have earned my business for life. All car buying should be this easy and bully free. 

bakin' with baby

Random thoughts while baking...

My apron strings don't quite tie the way they used to.

Hopefully no one will notice the big belly marks my stomach makes in the cake as it scrapes off the icing and wears it as a hood ornament. 

1 cake down, 2 to go.

(will post pics later)

round and proud

So I went to the doctors this week and had a little chuckle when the nurse read the scale and said, "Ummm, I'm gonna weigh you on the scale in the other room too, just to make sure this is right." Guess what? It was right the first time. :) She said that is fine since I gained hardly any in the first 5 months but I got a little giggle out of it anyway. And giggles and chuckles can be dangerous for pregnant women... if you know what I mean ;)

Also in this week, I got the official mommy-bob haircut. I'm almost in the club.
