co-ed office baby shower

dave and i work in the same office and last friday our coworkers through us a co-ed baby shower. it was so much fun. the decorations were so cute, the food was so good and the gifts were so generous...a big thanks to jessica and the rest of dave's team who put so much time, money and energy into this event to make it special for us.

here are some pictures:




the food, well most of the food, we also had pizza

new pictures of audrey jane

we went back to fetal fotos today after work and got some amazing shots of little audrey. it was so much fun to see her move. she did not stop moving once the whole twenty minutes we were there. the ultrasound tech said our baby was the cutest baby she has ever seen and got as excited as we did with each movement. it was the most amazing experience. here are a few of my favorites...love the one with her tongue sticking out!

why is it

...that food always tastes better when it is free?



mcdonalds has free southern style chicken sandwiches today with the purchase of a medium or large drink. i even added a small fry. not a bad lunch for $2.60...especially since i have been craving fried chicken for a while now but have been trying to eat healthy. oh well, can't win 'em all.

when you need to use your lunch break to pick some things up at walmart and they have a mcdonalds with no line and free food located conveniently inside the store, it seems like fate has stepped in...

the promotion is until seven pm so go out and score yourself a free chicken sandwich!

what a sweetheart!

when i got home this morning i saw these beautiful roses that dave had purchased for me for mother's day. what a sweetheart. they are beautiful and i love them babe! for mother's day he booked us a session at fetal fotos for a 4d session and it was so fun to get to see her. she was being a little stinker and wouldn't move her hands and feet away from her face so we got a voucher to go back and see her in a week and hopefully we will get some good shots then.

thanks for the great mothers day dave.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, JULES!!

You are and always will be a wonderful mother to baby!! I love you!!

sugar coma

so today i needed something sweet...i mean NEEDED it. it is kind of unusual for me to feel this way about sweet things since i have been pregnant. i do enjoy a scoop of ice cream now and then and it helps with my heartburn but as far as sugary sugar, like candy i just can't handle it very well...much too sweet for my pregnancy palette. today was another story, i was going to die if i did not get something SWEET. i am lucky my friend Jessica had a pink cookie in her car and after eating about half i am blissed out in a sugar coma. i don't think i have eaten one of these my whole life, they have always been too sweet for me. i don't feel the need for something sweet now though...

Thanks Jessica!

girl's weekend

this past weekend i was in virginia with my mom and my sisters and sister-in-law angie to have a girl's weekend. it was so much fun to spend time with everyone. we went shopping, lunched, went to the movies, watched mariah's play and michaela's soccor game, went for a picnic, went to mimi's for a baby shower brunch for audrey jane, ate delicious meals made my some very talented chef's, enjoyed melissa's yummy coconut cake, all piled onto my parent's bed to play board games, watched videos and had many fun, girly conversations.
