Happy Quarter-of-a-Century to Spencer!

Spencer's birthday was yesterday. I had no idea of what to get him.... But I know he really likes it when I cook for him. So my goal was to keep the food coming all night long. I started the day before by making him his own batch of chocolate chip cookies. I hid them until he got home from school yesterday. He was so surprised. He had no idea I had already made cookies. I was very careful to hide the evidence. I think he would have been happy if I stopped there. But the bacon-wrapped, cream cheese filled jalapeños were next...followed closely by Grandma B's amazing cheese ball recipe. Then I got the pizzas and pasta going. After dinner we also had chocolate pudding cake. Spencer actually requested that one so it was not a surprise. He may have been surprised it turned out so good though :) I was actually quite impressed with how easy that one turned out to be. 

We also watched 'Kung-Fu Panda 2'.

I caught a few pictures but I know Spencer was very happy.

 

You can clearly tell which pizzas are meant for Spencer. Plus the fact that he does not believe that fruit should belong on a pizza. (Unless the pizza crust is a giant sugar cookie..obviously.)

Oh Baby!

We are very excited to have a baby on the way! Baby is due August 6th. I am 15 weeks along now and in three more weeks we should know whether we are having a boy or girl! In the meantime I have been sleeping a lot and trying to get more water and the exercise in and eat healthier things. Spencer has been proud of all the vegetables I have consumed lately. One night at dinner he said in disbelief, "Who are you and what have you done with my wife??" But he has also commented that I am very boring when all I do is sleep.

Yeah.... We have gotten some good early ultrasound pictures though. I find myself looking at them a lot. It's still hard to believe that there's a tiny human growing inside of me. Although my expanding stomach begs to differ.

This picture is my favorite! With the cute little hand up by baby's head. If you look closely you can actually see baby's brain through the skull!! I think it's super cool.

This is what we did to announce to the Facebook world what we have been up to :) I know our families have been pretty excited that they are now allowed to tell everyone. 

I have definitely been feeling the love this Valentines season!
