Liv's Baptism

I was so excited to do a baptism cake for my sweet cousin Olivia this weekend. The baptism was wonderful and Liv was just adorable!

The Pregnancy Card

At 21 weeks, it's good to say I've passed the halfway mark! My due date was moved from June 17th to the 26th, so we'll have to wait a bit longer for this little one to make his appearance. I decided to take a "belly shot" for you all.Hmmm...anything missing? Yep, that's right. The belly. It was the same with Cole, but I thought this one might be a little different. In the past week, I've had the following comments:

"Are you SURE you're due in June?"
"If you hadn't told me you were pregnant, I would have no idea."
"I totally forgot you were pregnant!"

Now, this is all well and good, but it brings up a sticky situation. Because people forget, they tend to ask me to do things they may not ask a clearly showing lady. Things like:

"Can you carry this incredibly awkward/heavy thing for me? Oh, and it needs to go upstairs."
"You can smell that? Oh, it's just some heavy duty cleaner I spilled by an open vent. It's not bothering you, is it?"
"Could you help me set-up/tear-down this special event? It should only take a couple of hours..."

So, my question is, how do I tactfully answer these requests? I don't want to be the whiny pregnant lady who refuses to do anything, but I also don't want to get hurt. Any suggestions?

Cole-isms

While driving in the fog:
C: What's all this?
Me: Fog - it's everywhere!
C: Oh. I can hardly see with all these foggies!


C: I drove a car at the tire store.
Me: Yes, you did. Did you drive fast?
C: No. I drove slow & carefully.


C: I want a puppy.
B: A real one?
C: Yes.
B: Will you let it sleep with you in your bed?
C: No. He will sleep in my arms.


While changing his clothes, Cole was kicking at me and his foot got caught in my bra:
C: Mama! Why are you wearing a seat belt?


Me: What do you want to be when you grow up?
C: I'm gonna be a doggy when I grow up!


And finally, the random question of the day:
C: Do we point at people when they take off their shirts?

Dinosaur Museum = Awesome

As you can imagine, a better place than the dinosaur museum (at Thanksgiving Point) can not be imagined by a 2 year old.
Cole was fascinated with how big these dinosaurs were and kept comparing them to him. Here he is showing off how his leg compares.I think we'll be back...
