Life Lately...

Well the past few weeks we haven't been up to much, but I promised a few of you I'd post some recent prego pics of myself, so here goes. Now you can see for yourself that I have indeed "popped"! I'm 27 weeks along (over 6 months), with less than 11 weeks to go! I'm not really feeling nervous yet, but I do feel like I have a million things to get done between now and when the baby comes.

Kay and I got together with one of our old roomates, Amanda, for breakfast last week and had SO much fun! I hadn't seen her in almost 5 years so it was great to chat and catch up. (ps don't mind that I look like a GIANT in my big black coat! Kay and Amanda on the otherhand look fabulous!)

Thanks for all the birthday wishes everybody! I felt really spoiled this year.

The birthday celebrating continued this past weekend as we had a joint birthday dinner for Nick's aunt and myself at Nick's Grandma's house. His cousin made these really cute (and yummy) cakes for us!

Chillaxin after dinner with Alysha and her boyfriend Tyler (Nick wasn't in the greatest mood as Team Canada was in a losing hockey battle against the USA.)

Birthday Celebration!

Happy 26th Birthday to Me!

I am a very spoiled girl this year. Nick surprised me with a beautiful ring. For a long time I've wanted a ring with my birthstone (amethyst) because not only is it a nice feminine color, it's my favorite color! Imagine that ;) I've had a few pieces of birthstone jewelery over the years like a small necklace when I was in jr.high or a ring in highschool, so I was really excited to get an 'upgraded' version for my birthday. Besides, it doesn't hurt that it's VERY large and surrounded by little diamonds. It is beautiful, and I can't wait for it to get back from being sized so I can wear it!

The bling.

Nick was so cute this year. He got up before I woke up and 'scrapbooked' me a card! So sweet. He's a guy who'll always say what he's feeling, but I don't have many things to keep where it's written down. I got a little choked up just reading his sweet card. I'm sure lucky to have him!

For dinner we went to my favorite restaurant, Joeys, and I had a fabulous meal of Chicken Lettuce Wraps accompanied by a delicious Raspberry Burst to drink.
You should try it!

I was so glad Kay and Melvin were able to celebrate the evening with us, and clearly Bennett had a great time too. Looks like Nick is getting some
hands on practice :)

We capped off the weekend with a Super Bowl party at our house (Go Saints!),
so I whipped up some yummy sugar cookies for our guests.
Don't I look like Suzy homemaker? I try... ;)
