Shut your pie hole!

It was Ryan's birthday on Monday and his birthday wish was cream pies out the wazoo. So Mom did a pistachio, which was delish and I made a chocolate cream, banana cream and coconut cream pie.

He's a little freaky when he gets around all that saturated fat. Pies are fun. Pies are good.

Just a couple pics of the kids that make everything more fun.

Gage is becoming a little man!

Then there's always the precious.

Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore...

Is a baby really going to be part of my life? I'm now about a month away from the due date and the nursery is ready. Yep, I know it's not Posh Tots, but it's my best effort at what the experts call "nesting." Since I was pretty certain that I missed that memo in my character makeup, I was shocked at how fun it was to create the little room that would be my first's first. :)

Paul put together the crib. That's right, what a man. He's my hero.

I bought a changing table on Craig's list and then proceeded to paint, stencil and bling out the little flowers with rhinestones. I squealed with delight when I realized it wasn't going to be a total disaster.

Paul really spoiled me with this chair/rocker because what you can't see is the TV mounted to the wall. I think he's hoping it will help in my resolve to breastfeed if I can watch American Justice while I do it.

Jenna's only desire...

Must have binky...
Must have binky...
Must have binky...
No matter that it's attached to a diaper cake!

From January

Paul and I were lucky enough to go on a cruise early in January, before I got too chunky, and AM I GLAD WE DID! Paul was the funnest vacation partner; we just ate and read, pretty much. The soft serve ice cream called our names constantly, but we managed to eat that and have a hearty appetite for dinner at night. What can I say, we're troopers. :)

This is us pasty white on the first day at sea!

This is our tanned ol bad selves in Jamaica mon!

Do I even remember how to post?

It's true, I'm officially the world's worst blogger. But, I hope to shock some people that might actually still check my blog, so I'm going to post!

IT'S A BABY SHOWER!



I had the baby shower of the year thrown by mom, Aubry, and Nicole. Lexi helped too! Mom went all out with decorations, food and hosting. Aubry made food, helped decorate and helped take pictures, of course. Nicole free handed (HA!) the letters above the whole spread, made the diaper cake, and helped with everything, including clean up. I couldn't have asked for a nicer day, better family or sweeter friends that came to support this great adventure I'm on.

I got some wonderful, generous gifts and got a little weepy a couple of times because I'm a hormone maniac and I was very very touched by the thoughtfulness of those that I love.

I'm going to try to figure out how to post pictures again.

Nicole and I with her infamous ability to create works of art out of diapers and binkys. :)

My wonderful in-laws!

My fellow preggers sister in law, Aubree! Here comes the chunk brigade!

All in all, I'm so grateful for how this pregnancy has gone. I feel pretty good still and, thanks to the miracle of ear plugs and pelvic rocks, I'm sleeping really well. Paul has been good to me; I don't think he quite knows what we're in for, but I know he will be the best dad ever.
