A Baby Shower and Some Snow Storms

All though I had hoped spring was here since it was a toasty 78 degrees last Friday, the weather has again disappointed me. This morning we woke up to more snow - the second snow this week!!! Complete crap. Jammie and I both have spring fever and want nothing more than a nice, ice-free walk through the canyon. Oh well.
On Sunday the girls from work threw a baby shower for me. It was very nice. Several of my neighbors surprised me and attended as well as a new girlfriend. I have to share with you the best baby shower game EVER!!!! 10 diapers were passed around each containing a melted chocolate candy bar. You can smell all you want but the only way to really discern a Fast Break candy bar from a Reese's Cup Crunchy is to taste. That's right ladies -DIG IN!!!! And they did. Pictured below are the hilarious results.


The girls were very generous and we received lots of things for BeeGee. Of course Jammie made the cake. It was modeled after the bubblegum pink and brown invitations made by the hostess.

News and Pics

As promised, here are some pictures from our big cupcake adventure. Due to the large volume of cupcakes, we baked them off at the base in Salt Lake City, transported them back to Logan, iced them at home, baked and iced the wedding cake, and then transported them back south. A word of advice to future brides: If you're going to invite 400 people to wedding, choose a sheet cake rather than 400 individual cakes. The whole process was a lot of work!!

Now that's a lot of frosting!!!

200 white and 200 chocolate cupcakes

And the best part is?......cleaning up!

400 cupcakes loaded into the backseat of our Passat!

Jammie piped and I smoothed

The final blue and orange cupcakes

The cutting cake they requested. Jammie came up with the blossom design since the wedding had a garden theme. It turned out really cute.

Jammie and I have continued packing and organizing. We've lined every empty wall with boxes from floor to ceiling. We are both relieved and excited to organize and purge all of our junk. My official date to leave Logan is June 3rd. Jammie will follow with the cats and the moving truck around July 1st. We're both so excited to see our family and friends again!!!


Yesterday marked our "6 weeks 'til D-Day" (delivery day)! I'm starting to really slow down - bending, stooping, and squatting have become so difficult. Everything seems to be progressing perfectly though. My last blood results were normal and my glucose level was perfect. Thank goodness- I don't think that I could cut out those Frosty's!!!

And finally, the newest belly pics. Boy am I getting big!!!!! I insisted we take these pictures after I realized that even my maternity shirts aren't big enough to cover my giant bulge. Absurd!! Only 5 weeks and 6 days to go!!!!

I can hardly believe how much time has gone by since I last posted. Jammie and I have begun organizing and packing again for the long journey home. Even though we have several month to go, we want to get as much out of the way as possible before BeeGee gets here. Speaking of, yesterday was our eighth month mark!!! Wow!!! We are now seeing the midwife every 2 weeks and are gearing up for our home visit soon. At the home visit she'll check to make sure that we have accumulated all of the supplies needs as well as give us the birthing pool to set up. So far BeeGee and I have both been growing just as needed and I can tell from the stretching and kicking that we've got a healthy, playful little girl on the way. Last week Jammie and I finished our birthing classes and also attended a support group for home birth parents. We gained tons of valuable information that I'm sure we'll be using in the next few months.
While I've been doing all things baby, Jammie has kept himself busy with designing the perfect cloth diaper, making sausage with a friend, and making 400 cupcakes and a small wedding cake!! I'll post more pictures soon!!!
