Learning ABCs already!

Thumper was just serenaded by my boss's 2-year-old granddaughter! Julie sang her ABCs to my belly! How adorable!

29 for the first time!

Yesterday was my birthday... The big 2-9! As mom put it during church "she's 29... for the first time!" Oh so true!

On Friday night, my girlfriends took me out to a local Mexican restaurant... It was super yum! (L to R: Erin Jo, me, Katie Kruz, Steph Peters and Tink)

Yesterday, went to church then spent the day at an auction and resale shops with Mom and Erin Jo. For dinner, Mom took Toby and I to dinner at the Olive Garden... yummmmmmmy! It was wonderful!!!

After dinner, we went home and opened presents!

Note the flowers... when I got home yesterday afternoon, I didn't even notice them. Toby waited about 10 minutes and then asked "do you like your flowers?" I responded with "Huh? Flowers?" Yep, that's right... I looked right at them and didn't even register! I felt so bad... the poor guy's sitting there waiting for me to say SOMETHING about the roses (white, like on our wedding day)... and I didn't even notice them. I'm such a scatter brain thanks to a certain someone in my tummy!

Thanks to everyone for your cards, gifts, emails and facebook greetings! I love you all!

And here's an updated bump picture... 26 weeks!

Playing with Baby

Baby Thumper and I have a game we now play. I tap or thump my belly... Thumper thumps or kicks back. It's so cute!! It always puts a smile on my face!

And last night, I was lying on the couch with the remote balanced on my belly. It was so funny to just randomly see the remote teeter-totter back 'n forth when Thumper would move around!

I love all the movement of the baby... except when it uses my bladder as a soccer ball! hahaha

Sir Maxton

Maxton came all the way from England to visit Uncle Toby & Auntie Erin for the second time... he doesn't remember his first trip, because he was still in mommy's tummy. Last time we saw him, he was only 8 weeks old... and that was when we went to see him in England.

Here are a couple pix of Maxton... to see more, check out our photo album at http://www.tobyanderin.com/.

Bumps = Cousins

Toby's mother and sister were here to visit for 10 days, along with our nephew Maxton... who is quite the dude, I might add. Charlie is also pregnant... due 10 days before me!!!
