Busy Busy Bee

This last week has been crazy! Valentine's Day came around and we finally got to welcome our niece Adelaide! (Ethnee calls her Baby Lemonade) We're so happy Scott and Rene made it to the end in tact and in love! ;)


And so then we stayed in on Valentine's night and watched the Cosby show and cooked dinner together. Monday was our 2nd Anniversary! It still feels like the beginning! We celebrated with a fancy dinner out and then utilized our Plantearium memberships (Geek cards) for a free IMAX show about life under the sea!


And then yesterday was Shae's 34th birthday! Although we weren't down there with him- we hope he had an awesome birthday with his family. Happy Birthday Big Brother! And now Mom gets to go to Washington to meet Baby Lemonade and we are still waiting for our chance to meet Mr. Conley! Hopefully we get to meet them both sometime soon!


In the meantime we are anxiously awaiting our own little baby boy trying to figure out where in the world we're going to put our crib- and oh yeah- where are we going to get a crib!!! The doctors and books all say I should be able to feel him move any day now- but perhaps it is due to the extra pounds, which are compliments of my peanut butter chocolate kick, that are masking the movement! Cravings have gone in cycles so far from lemons- to peanut butter and chocolate (which was easily satisfied by peanut butter bars, Oh Henry's, and Nutty Bars), to grapefruit (which has turned out to be ongoing), to anything sugar, and now anything fruity!!! An occasional hot dog and an entire box of ginger lemon cookies which I found at Costco can also hold me over!



So all in all- Happy Birthday to Adelaide, Happy Valentine's Day, Happy Anniversary to us, and Happy Birthday to Shae!

We're Having A...




Well if this bet were taken in Vegas we would have too many winners for anyone to be happy about their winnings! Almost everyone said that we were going to have a boy- and we are!!! Last time we went to the doctor, our little boy was sure to let his privates flash the camera. Unfortunately- we didn't get a picture of that. This time he was much more modest, unfortunately, and the picture we got looks like- well I don't know what it looks like. Cathy could tell us- but since she doesn't live by us I had to trust my doctor and let everyone know that a little Afuvai boy is on his way.
