Baby Bump

Here I am at about 33 weeks! I feel like the baby has gained 10 pounds this week! Or maybe that is just me! I am officially doing the pregnancy waddle! I can't wait to meet our little Anna Christine! I have less then 7 weeks until my due date, so I guess I should be cherishing the moments right? It really has been interesting being pregnant! It is amazing what our bodies can do!

This last week we went to Adams family reunion in Austin Texas. Let me just say I have the best in-laws and the cutest nieces and nephews! My Sister in-laws are amazing mommy's! I was secretly picking up parenting tips! I hope I can be as patience and loving as they are to their children! I am definitely going to need their advice on raising children!

5 minute mug chocolate cake.

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.

Pour in the milk and oil and mix well..

Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.

The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!

Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.

Now this is a cake i can Make!!!

Happy Easter

I hope the Easter bunny came to visit!

The last year in my 20's.

On March 28th I turned 29. I am in my last year in my 20's and I am feeling pretty good! I finally figured out that the best way to enjoy your birthday, is to not make it all about you. I never really enjoyed the spotlight, so I would be perfactly happy if I got to spend my birthday doing little things for my friends and family. Have a cake and ice cream never hurt anyone though! :-)

I got to spend my B-Day with some of my favorite people. My Parents and sister Jessica came up from Medford for the occasion. We went to a Da vinci exhibit, where they displayed Leo's inventions and paintings. My favorite part was when you could put your head in the Mona Lisa! So funny!

HERESHEIS

I know it's cheesy, but I have always wanted to do this for a baby announcement!
I found tons of cute chocolate bar wrappers at www.candywrapperstore.com
I might just have to give in to my chocolate craving this time! Besides who would not want chocolate along with a baby announcement! It just makes it so much sweeter!

Say Hello to Anna Kristen Cottam!

I just had an ultrasound this week, and I was so excited to see that my baby looks like a baby and not and alien! This is little Anna Kristen at 23 1/2 weeks. Only 16 1/2 weeks left to go, give or take!

We can't wait to meet our cute little girl! I can already tell she is going to be beautiful!

Bring on the Pink

We found out yesterday that we are having a girl. I am so excited! I was so prepared to have the nurse tell me that I was having a boy that it was a complete surprise! I guess I should have know, given my family tree (4 Sisters). I can't wait to meet my cute little girl! Now if we could just decide on a name!
