Happy Birthday to Me!

So today is my birthday, I am 22! (It doesn't really feel that different from 21, to tell you the truth). Yesterday Jaime Martineau (as if there are other Jaimes) took me to dinner and a movie after I had an hour massage (which I get every Monday these days). We had a lot of fun. Jaime was so sweet, she showered me with gifts:

A picture frame with a photo of Gunnar and me camping

A picture frame with an awesome "Friends Forever" design with pix of Erik, John, Jaime & me

A bunch of candy (which Paige my dog took out of my purse last night and ate some of)
Tums--the good flavor-- for my wonderful pregnancy heartburn

Rootbeer for the movies


We had Panera bread bowls of soup and went to see "The Secret Life of Bees" starring Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keyes and Dakota Fanning. It was really fun.

Then I got home expecting to find my husband lounging around playing video games but instead he was eagerly awaiting my arrival and asked me to drive him to the store. I couldn't believe he would ask me, pregnant and uncomfortable to drive HIM to the store! After much protest I took the keys and we headed for my car.

As soon as I started the engine, I knew what my birthday present was! My husband spent the entire evening installing a Flowmaster system on my exhaust! For all you girls out there who don't know what that means, it makes the car sound REALLY good like a big truck. Of course, the mom that I am already I said something like, "Won't this wake the baby up a lot?" but I quickly forgot about him as I drove around our neighborhood listening to the sweet sweet rumble of my handy man's work. I love my husband, he always knows exactly what I want!

Now I just have to deck out the rest of my car with tinted windows and rims. Maybe it will look something like this when it is finished:


Ok that's a little much. But I have to be a cool mom!!! I'm well on my way with my new Flowmasters!!!

HIJACK

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

One Month Old

Tyler turned one month old on Friday! He has grown and changed a lot just in the last couple of weeks. It is so much fun to watch him now that he is smiling and holding his head all the way up and clasping his hands together--interlaced as if in prayer. He is the cutest baby (ok, so I'm biased). We've had a hard week though (make that almost two weeks--I've been trying to publish this post for 5 days). The other day he screamed for almost 24 hours straight. Luckily Jaime came over to show me how to help relieve his gas and he calmed down for a couple of hours. He has been up all night, up all day and just kind of hard to deal with. Of course I still love him, which is weird. Usually its hard to love someone who deprives you of sleep. :) Update: Like I said, I have been trying to publish this for almost a week--I have had literally no time between work and a screaming baby and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning but alas I think I now have 5 minutes! Anyway, Ty...
