Sugar and spice...



Looks like we'll be adding a bit of sugar and spice to our house this summer!!! We got a great look at her and Dominic even joined in the conversation saying, "Baby move around....So cute!"

I almost titled this post something else entirely, "Breaking up is hard to do", but wanted to keep the focus positive rather than negative. Basically, this week I have come to the realization that I need to "break-up" with one of my friends. What happened, you may be wondering???

Well...it goes like this:

I am a punctual person. You all already know that. When I have made plans with someone and can't make it, I always make sure to tell them with as much notice as possible. I also try to be on time anytime I am meeting someone out. This past Tuesday I made plans to meet a very new acquaintance and an old friend. I made the details and emailed them both with time and place instructions. I was the only one to show up!
I received a phone call from M asking me where I was, if everything was okay. I told her that I was at said place waiting. She proceeded to tell me that she and the other gal were at another location waiting on me! Did neither one of them read their email???? So D and I had to leave the original meeting place to go to the *wrong* location to meet them.

This is not the first time that M has flaked out on this kind of stuff. The day before this breakfast get together she emailed me to see if I wanted to go to Pump-it-Up with her that morning. I reminded her that we had plans with S. She admitted that she forgot about our plans. Then she asked me what time?

When I had the summer camp, she was a participant. The day of the camp she called to ask me when camp started, and I don't mean what time, she meant what day!! Then she asked what time and THEN she said they would be there everyday instead of the 3 times a week she had previously told me. So I had to drive out and get more supplies for them to attend all week!!!

It's this kind of air-headedness that drives me bananas. If you have plans with someone at least have the courtesy to write it down and the respect to remember it!

So this breakfast get-together was the straw that broke the camel's back. I have got to call this friendship quits before I say something tacky to her. How's this going to go? I have no idea!!!

Anybody home???

I promise we are still alive and well. I'm going to try to keep up this month with our busy life. We've already had quite a bit going on!

I received a new Project Life kit for Christmas and have been plugging away, taking a photo each day to display in the album. My album from last year is only lacking 4 pictures! Not too bad for a busy mom, huh? If you want to see what the fuss is all about, check out the Project Life kit here: www.beckyhiggins.com

Today we don't have a scheduled playdate however O is coming over to play and enjoy a custom-made firetruck cookie. D asked for one earlier and I promised him we could make cookies after his nap.

We got a cool firetruck cookie cutter from Aunt Suge for Christmas so we put it to use today. I'll post pictures of the cookies later, they are in the oven, smelling the house up real nicely!!

Other big news?? We find out pink or blue in just 4 more days!!! I still can't believe that we are already almost halfway through this pregnancy! I am 19w, 2d today. Wow!!

I am planning on doing a cute photoshoot with D sometime tomorrow so I'll post pictures of what I'm able to capture.

Thanks for hanging in with me!!
