Cake decorationg class

Last night we had our last class in course 2 for cake decorating. When I was trying to ice my cake before class I almost started crying because the cake kept crumbling and I had crumbs everywhere. I was so upset. But it turned out okay because we covered all the crumbs with new icing. The pictures are too big to post here so, take a look at them via the links. :D

31 weeks along, 63 days to go

Been an interesting week. We had a pretty bad accident at work, but no one was hurt. Unless you are a car enthusiast, then you could feel sorry for the 3 cars, especially the Bently. Long story. Don't ask. That was a very bad day and caused me to have braxton hicks contractions all day and most of the next day. And made my blood pressure go up because I was so stressed out.

Had my doctors appointment and little Jaidyn is growing away. I'm measuring 2 weeks ahead. And I'm pretty sure thats all baby as I haven't gained too much weight. At 30 weeks I've gained 16.5 lbs, which I am very pleased with. Especially since I haven't been able to exercise due to the constant pain I've been in. The doctor was concerned with me having highish blood pressure that baby might not be growing properly... got no problems there!

So yeah... 9 weeks and counting. A lot of people are saying that I'm gonna have Jaidyn early, and if they are right, that means 7 weeks. Eeeek!!! It just doesn't seem real... how close everything is getting. We have the crib set up, and once the nursery is done, I'll post more pictures of that. But for now, here is me in all my pregnant belly glory lol!!!

A while since my last blog

It has been a while since my last blog, and I'm not really sure what to say as an update. We got the stroller and car seat with my mom, and we got the crib with Ty's mom. We have yet to put the crib together as we just got it on Sunday and we are going to be busy every night this week.
We started the 'young parents' class and we've had two classes so far. We've had to watch two videos of women giving birth and the guy's reaction is always the same and it's pretty funny. The nurse in our class also told us about a doula who is completing her practicum and is offering her services for free. So we took her up on that. We met with the doula last week and we are meeting again this week. I think it will be good to take some of the pressure off Ty, and having someone there who is trained to relax me should be good as well.
My dreams are definitely getting wacky... having all sorts of strange dreams and they just seem to be going further out on a limb. I tell Ty about them and he just laughs at the dreams. Oh well, 9 weeks and 6 days to go until Jaidyn's due date, then maybe these weird dreams will stop.
Here are my last three belly pictures. I'm defiantly growing and excuse the stretch marks. I can't seem to avoid those things as much as I try. The scary thing about these pictures is that I haven't really gained any weight over the last 3 weeks. I'm sitting steady at a total of 15lbs gained and my belly is HUGE. Either Jaidyn is going to be huge or he knows where to sit to make me look huge.
