Getting Ready...

This week we bought a pack n' play. Carter's Bumble Comfort n' Care Playard and Changer - Summer Infant - Babies "R" Us
I think it is really awesome. But today we went out to look at car seats and came across a really great Evenflow seat that was on clearance because they were switching fabric patterns. And then the guy at the store told us that we could use our coupon in addition to the clearance price. So in the end we have this totally awesome carseat for about half price.
All in all, a very good week for baby stuff. So we have all the big things ready; a place to sleep, a place to ride in the car, and a diaper bag (a place to hold stuff to clean up poop).

What's for dinner

It's been a while since I've made enchiladas for dinner so that's what we're having tonight! Bragg style enchiladas. YUM.  Flour tortillas with refried beans, ground meat, and cheese inside. Smothered in a homemade red sauce and topped with cheese. Baked in a 425 degree oven for 20 min. Highly recommended.

Physical Therapy

So turns out that my inability to walk without shooting pain was bad enough to warrant my doctor giving me a prescription for physical therapy. I've been doing all the exercises for about a week now and am starting to be able to walk again! Yay! Hopefully I'll get good enough to make it for another trip to California. Guess I'll have to see what the doctor says.

Totally fun Baby Wipe Case

Blanket

SO I started making this really cool baby blanket for when Baby comes. It's a pattern called "Op Art". So far it looks like this:


Actually, I'm a little farther along but it basically is going to be a spiraling square pattern. I think it's really nifty. The pattern for this little design is here.  So it should look a little something like that.

Props to Sara

I just wanted to say how AMAZING Sara is and how great she is at this whole blogging and life thing. Way to go! Seriously, I can't wait to read how her week is going. Yay Sara!

Cupcakes and Baby

So this is what we did when we told Tracy (Mike's sister) and her family what gender Baby was. Same idea as what we did in California except we did a chocolate pomegranate cupcake with colored fondant.



I really do love cupcakes!
