Savvy Toddler Mom

We had the toot’s 3rd birthday party over the weekend.  It was a Disney/Pixar “Cars” theme… again.  Yes, we had the same sort of party last year.  In fact, we had THE EXACT same cake from Dick’s Marketplace in Bountiful (their bakery is amazing!!!).  I was even able to reuse some of the decorations I saved.

We had six 2 & 3 year olds come to the party — it was awesome.  Nothing like a house full of toddlers and a bunch of new toys to fight over.

I need to post a photo of this, but SavvyDad made a helicopter – MADE a helicopter — for the kids to “ride” in.  It was amazing.  Thanks again, SavvyDad.  Your creativity FAR exceeds mine.

I think the toot had a good time; he keeps asking me for another party.  It’s a good thing birthdays are only once a year — this party thing totally wiped me out.  (I’m such a wimp, huh?)

Word on the street is that my niece turning three in December is going to have a “High School Musical” party.  Can’t wait.

I haven’t written in a REALLY long time.  Sorry!!  I’ve been… busy.  Well, busy and preoccupied.

I have some news and I feel bad posting it on here, just because I know my brother and sister-in-law that live in VA read this blog and I think this might be the first they hear of this news.  So, in deference to them, here is a personal announcement:

***********************

Hi M, A & L, 

I’m pregnant.

I tried to call last week and tell you, but you weren’t home and I don’t think I was very clear in my message that you should CALL ME BACK.

Also, I hope my adorable little niece had a fun birthday last week.  Did you guys get our package?

Love,

STM

So, anyway, there it is!  I’m pregnant and exhausted.  I’m also so relieved to have it out in the open because now I can BLOG about it.

I know you probably have questions…

When’s my due date?  June 7th (A great day - my cousin Amber’s birthday.)

How many weeks does that make me? 11 weeks

Have I been sick? Yes, for two weeks I was really sick, but the weird thing is, I haven’t been sick since I was in that car accident.  I guess the adrenaline chased it out of me. LOL

Do I want a boy or a girl? Either would be fabulous.  I’d love a girl — as some of you know, I miscarried a baby girl at 17 weeks last Christmas.  On the other hand, another boy like the toot would be wonderful.  At this point, a healthy baby is all I’m praying for.

Have I heard the heartbeat yet?  Yes, I have already finagled two ultrasounds out of my doctor (hahaha) and both had happy healthy baby heartbeats.

Any other questions?  Let me know.

I think I’m going to go take a nap.
