Last Saturday my friends through me a wonderful shower. Here are the girls that drove in from GR- thank you girls!!!!!
No need to adjust your screens, this is really how massive I am right now!! And I was SO hot during this shower, my face is red in all the photos!
The wonderful desserts.
The girls that threw the shower know me so well. I'm not a big "baby" person and I hate pastels. . so they did a hour dourves and mocktails theme with no pastel colors to be seen and it was great! Totally what I would have picked out!
On Thursday, I had the worst day of my life at work. It was horrible. Horrible. I came home for lunch and went to the bathroom (of course, I'm 9 months pregnant) and saw this on the mirror:
Jon had written out on about 20 post it notes all the things he loved about me. It must have been the Lord because He knows I needed it that day! I cried on his shoulder for a good 15 minutes after this. It was the good cry combined with the sad cry combined with the hormonal cry, hahah.
Friday night we babysat for our neighbors and watched "Happiest Baby on the Block" which came highly recommended to us. I'm glad they had a DVD because there was no way I was going to get Jon to read a book like that. :)
Saturday we celebrated Valentines Day. I kicked Jon out of the house for about two hours in the morning and surprised him with this:
A cheesecake!! My first ever! Jon loooves cheesecake and asks for it for his birthday every year. You can't really buy good ones at the grocery store and the bakeries around here don't carry them. So thank you to ERIN who totally walked me through the entire process (and this is her recipe)! I had a slight ordeal with the oreo crust, but I persevered. :)
Later, after the Saturday night service, we did our Valentine day tradition of getting Bravo to go and renting a movie. Here's our dinner (with FRE, alcohol free wine I recommend for those craving it!):
Another tradition of ours is to pull the mattress off the bed and watch the movie from there:
We watched Fireproof, which was actually really good. Neither of us had very high expectations for a low budget Christian film (about the worst combination you can get), but it was very moving and well done. I recommend it!
So, that's been our lives! I'm officially 38 weeks tomorrow!!!!
