a blast from the past

This week has been so dreary. It's rainy and cold and almost April. South Carolina shouldn't be like this. So today I give you a fun flashback...us in college before a football game.

Glen painted up and actually got on ESPN!

a baby shower

This past weekend I had the privelidge of co-hosting a baby shower for my friend Leah. She is having twin boys and is due in the next two months! It was such a fun shower. We hosted a brunch (because who doesn't like breakfast food?). We can't wait to meet these two little boys!

Today I am craving...

...these Tiramisu Cupcakes, but after going to the doctor this week and learning I need to eat a little healthier, I will hold off. However, I plan to find a special occassion to make these soon. Any special occassions I don't know about?

24 weeks + pollen is killing me

I was feeling good until this past Monday night and allergies took over. Its a bad combination to drink lots of fluids to help wash out all the effects this pollen brings on and to be pregnant and have to pee a million times a day anyways. I have tried to be medicine free pretty much this entire pregnancy, but I figure if it comes down to either taking medicine or being miserable and not sleeping, I'll take the medicine. Here's for hoping it helps!

Besides allergies, I'm feeling great. I feel like I am getting bigger by the second which is cool because I can feel baby girl so much more now but I know at some point I will want to go back in the other direction. Glen has finally felt her move now too, and when she is kicking really strong you can see my stomach move!

I already finished registering. Although there will be no showers until May, I wanted to go ahead and get that part finished! It was a bit overwhelming! There is so much stuff you could buy for a baby. I know so much of it you won't need, but we are new to this. We really have no clue. So Glen and I made decisions on all the big stuff and decorating type stuff, and then I took a mom friend with me to help with all the "technical" stuff. She was so helpful. Thanks Shari!
