Happy Birthday Eryn and Nicole!

Saturday night was a fun girly dinner at the Pink Door to celebrate Eryn and Nicole's birthday. Fun was had by all- I even ordered two Shirley Temples! WOOEEE. Watch out! The preggo is going WILD!

It was so nice to go out and get all fancy for dinner. I really had a good time. However, my good time was promptly shut down around 9:30 when I just got EXHAUSTED. BOOO!

Here's what I look like at 20 weeks. My belly is definitely not the result of those tasty Candy Cane Jo-Jo's from Trader Joe's anymore!

Cheesecake update: I did give in to the Cheesecake Factory on Saturday. Jeremy and I were driving back from Babies R Us after setting up a registry and magically, the car drove itself into the Cheesecake Factory's parking lot (ok- fine. I begged Jeremy to pull over and let me hop out.) I am so glad I got a slice- HOLY DELISHISHNESS BATMAN! It was heaven on on earth!

I've decided that Babies R Us scares the crap out of me. Too many things to look at, too many things to decide on, too many things PERIOD! We went only to check out a stroller/car seat combo and decided to set up our registry. It was very overwhelming and after much thought, I really am liking Jeremy's idea of just getting some rucksacks and making our own clothes. SERIOUS. How can one little tiny baby require so much STUFF?! Maybe I should just register for diapers and wipes, since that's probably what we'll end up using the most.

Baby Pictures

(Click on the pictures to enlarge them)

So here are a few of our ultrasounds from last week. The first one on the left is the baby face down, with it's spine near the top. The kiddo was rockin' and rollin' during the ultrasound and managed to give me a few pictures that may haunt my dreams forever. Case in point- the second picture on the right. Baby is laying on it's side, facing the "camera" and it's little head is on the right. Now do you blame me for calling it Skeletor??

I did have this CRAZY dream last night that I was chasing my kid around, apparently at one month old, this baby could run and had a total Jeremy-fro. Big, curly hair and fat chubby cheeks. It didn't have a huge head- so that was a relief!

So Tired...

Dear Baby,
Whereas I respect your right to grow into a cute little bugger, could you please stop making me crave cheesecake (because Thriftway was OUT of cheesecake and I'm scared of the Cheesecake Factory...) and also, if you could let me please not want to pass out at 9 pm every night, that would be SUPER.

Much love,
Your Soon to Be Mama

PS. Don't hate me because I think you look like Skeletor in your most recent ultrasound.

Not What I Used to Be

I am exhausted this weekend. After a wonderful breakfast with The Girls in West Seattle and an exciting drive home in the snow (Seriously people, it's just SLUSH on the road! Get out of the way!! Sorry, that was the hormones and the 4 Wheel drive talking) I spent a good 5 hours in the kitchen making cakes. Normally, cake making doesn't exhaust me- however in my current "condition" I just can't make them like I used to.

I am so looking forward to Tuesday. Jeremy and I get our 20 week ultrasound in the afternoon. I know there isn't anything to worry about, but I can't help but be a little anxious. I'll be sure to post any pictures if we get them.
