Miss Quinn Proves to be Stuborn AGAIN :-)

 On Saturday, February 19th we had our 3-D sonogram!!!!!! I was SO excited to see our little. With no surprise to Sean or myself, she wasn't in a cooperative mood. She was all snuggled up nice and tight with her hands and arms by her face. Our sonographer had me move, we jiggled my belly to try and get her to move her hands. She's such a little stinker.


As a last resort she had Sean place a VERY cold bottle of water on my belly. Can I just say he did an amazing job!!!!!! While Quinn still had one arm over half of her face, he was able to get her to move the other! Her nose looks a little smooshed, I'm


guessing from the pressure of the instrument and Sean with the water bottle, but H\here are a few pics!

The Midwest Blizzard of 2011!

What CrAzY weather we had yesterday day!!!!!!! The news said an average of 8 inches across the metro. Before we went to bed Sean went out to out back yard with a yard stick and got variations of 12-12.5" on our patio.

Sean works every other weekend at the bank and this is his weekend. So, to make up for it he gets Tuesday off. This meant we were both able to be home snuggled up on the couch for the day! Well, at least after about 10 am. I woke up at 7 and by 7:30 decided I'd make a quick run to the store for some milk, eggs and baking g supplies. At this point the weather was just beginning. However, when Sean heard the garage open he came RUNNING downstairs to find out where in the world I was going. This lead to a very brief discussion about me not driving and him coming along as my chauffeur. On the upside we got WAY more than I had planned to get and he paid. The downside is my 15 minute trip to the store ended up being an hour followed by a trip to the bank.

We spent the rest of our morning snuggled on the couch watching movies. Then Sean headed outdoors for an hour of shoveling. After he shoveled our drive he helped our phenomenal neighbor Kurt shovel a few of our elderly neighbor's drives. By the time they had finished, you couldn't even tell he'd shoveled our drive!!!!!

While Sean was busy doing manual labor, I decided to start working on baking our  Fudge Lovers Strawberry Truffle Cake!!!!!!!  Let me just say it is AMAZING!  Today, on this snow day I plan to work on some details for Sarah's shower and bake her birthday cake!
