28 weeks!

I can admit it...I am terrible at keeping up with this blogging thing.

As I write this, I just received my "welcome to week 28" email and I've officially entered the third trimester. It's a great feeling knowing the baby is getting stronger and stronger, especially if anything were to happen. I have this overwhelming feeling of "UGH, how can I still have 12 weeks???" and then at the same time... I think OMFG (insert crazy expletives) we will have a baby in 12 weeks. I just had my most recent check-up and everything looked great. I'm measuring right where I should be, I'm up about 2 lbs all said and done from my weight loss and then finally putting that back on. I am being neurotic about not getting huge, I really need to stop. And of course, the aches and pains are in full force. My back kills...along with my tailbone and pelvic bone. Every time I mention it, the doctors look at me like, DUH, you are having a baby--you didn't think this would be easy did you? Baby Britt is very active and kicks me in all sorts of ways. I'm just DYING to know what he looks like. Does he have hair? I also think he's getting a hiccups a lot. THERE IS A BABY IN MY BELLY. And the hubs is so freaking sweet to me, I can't even stand it. He's pitching in extra so I don't need to keep getting up, then sitting down, then getting up. Makes the world of difference. He's so freaking wonderful and I think I might just love him more once the little guy comes.

We are now going down the checklist and getting things ready on the home front. We'll have the room painted this weekend and about late May will set up the crib and dresser (which are here already) from Pottery Barn.

Next up: baby bumpdate and picks of the room and ideas for decorating.

Happy 30th Jarrett...and 7th Knight!

By now I'm a week late announcing it, but last week was a fabulous week which was capped off by Jarrett's 30th birthday (and our little guy has turned 7!). (See pics from our photo shoot from their birthday night!)

We started the birthday with some Veuve Clicquot with Rich and Laura and then headed to the infamous La Paloma. This is by far our favorite Mexican restaurant in Quincy. In typical fashion I overate...and we finished the night with the boys <3

Then came the present! I had been keeping Jarrett's present a secret for months and it was killing me. K I L L I N G M E. I had debated what to get him. I wanted to blow it out of the water and really do it up since we don't have children yet and this is a big one. Jarrett and I have a huge love for food and Jarrett loves cooking....so I found a place in Boston called Stir. Stir is owned by Chef Barbara Lynch (think No. 9 Park, Menton, The Butcher Shop, B&G Oyster....). They have all kinds of cooking classes and offer private events... SO, i thought perfect! But even better you can hire BL herself to cook. We made a four course meal and it was TO DIE FOR!
