Darren had a milestone birthday this last Thursday. He's no longer in his 20's, but I'm still happy to say that I am! We had a low key celebration at Carrabba's, just the three of us, and then had birthday cake that Lila and I made that morning. Lila was the most excited about the whole thing. If you ask her she can tell you exactly when her birthday is ("I'm going to be three-years-old on November 21st!"). Maybe if we hurry we can make enough friends so Lila can have a real party this year. I'm not holding my breath, but there's always next year for the party thing (and I'm really in no rush to begin being a party planner!).
Also, I didn't post this last Sunday when Darren took it, but this is the 20.5 week belly shot. You could say that I've "popped." I've decided to think of it as, "Wow, that little baby sure is getting big!" rather than, "Wow, I'm starting to get fat!" I've also decided to pull out some maternity wear from the dust covered boxes they've been in. I haven't worn any maternity tops or dresses yet, but I finally realized this week that I am to the point where the maternity pants are much more comfortable than doing the rubber band thing on my jeans. We've actually had at least one day where it was cool enough that I wanted to wear jeans to the park. Other than those one or two days though, I'm still living in my usual summer attire of dresses and skirts (at least the ones that are roomy enough for pregnancy).
These last two pics are from yesterday at the park. Lila's pigtails sure have grown since February! And thankfully, my hair is finally growing as well! Like mother, like daughter.
Licking the beaters (her favorite!)
The recipe for this cake can be found on my recipe site. It's the PB/chocolate cupcakes and frosting recipes.
Our feeble attempt at decorating (which we still haven't taken down)
Putting in 30 candles :o)
