Sofie's early birthday

Some people are lucky enough to have two wedding receptions because they have family in two areas. Sofie's extra lucky because she gets to have two birthdays! One in St. George, and one here at home. This was her early party a week or so ago. Plenty of cake and plenty of presents! Hasn't even had her real birthday yet! So spoiled!

"Cheeeeeez"

Stuffing her face.

The post-sugar crash.

Cousins, Spicy Pancakes, and the Will to Go On!

Sofie got her fill of cousins as we left family behind in St. George to pull in home and find even more cousins to play with! Popcorn and a movie.

Derek and I were letting Sofie "help" us make German Pancakes the other day, however, after we'd measured the milk and turned around to add the eggs, Sofie grabbed her favorite spice off the rack and dumped about 1/4 cup into our mix. Hot Red Pepper Flakes. Mmmm Spicy Pancakes!!!

I've finally reached the 2nd Trimester...and no it's not easier than the first yet, so quit telling me that it is! However, my sympathetic husband seems to understand and brought me home the most gorgeous Lily bouquet. I told him it's perfect because it's so strong that I'm constantly reminded that he bought me flowers, and they change daily, and of course, they're totally gorgeous! Since then, almost all of the flowers have fully bloomed. Maybe I'll make it through the 2nd Trimester.

A little early, but gettin' ready!!

I still have a good 6+ months, but I couldn't wait to try this out! I got word of a deal where you could buy a nursing cover (disrespectful company name left out here) and only pay $10 shipping. For a $35 product (before shipping), $10 is a deal. However, I know they're easy to make, so I took the challenge of making one for cheaper! I win! These two nursing covers cost me $13 for both. That included the fabric, D-rings, boning, and thread. It only took a few hours to make both (and that includes my perfectionism of needing to press everything before I sew!) I'm excited to be able to use them eventually...
I made them both extra wide, because let's be honest, the girls they base the original ones on aren't my size :)
(whoops, just noticed a string I forgot to snip off!)
