Sweet new ride...

Our first BIG gift!!! Thank you GRANDMA'S!!! Yes, this is a gift from Grandma Furnell and Grandma Tracy and I love it! After loooooots of research Dan and I (mostly just I) decided on this Chicco Travel System.

A Travel System basically means it's the stroller and infant car seat in one (not bought separately) and the car seat fits lovely inside the stroller! It has great reviews, features I think are super cool as a new mommy, and better yet, will last through more than one child...hence the gender neutral color :)

Sadie Boo was more than interested in what we were assembling. If she only knew, this is only the beginning! She has no idea what's coming to her. We keep telling her, not too much longer and she won't be the only baby in the house. She doesn't seem to get it. 

After Dan got it all put together, he said to give it a spin. I started strolling around the apt and it felt so foreign! I was like this doesn't seem real. In like 10 weeks I'll be pushing around a real baby. I had a mild panic attack...I wonder what will happen when the baby bed is up? Oh geez, one step at a time!

Slowly but surely we are building up our "baby needs." And this stroller/car seat was definitely a big one for us! SO EXCITED! Now where do we put it?

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all you lovers out there! 

We're not big into V-day, but any excuse to make some tasty treats is good enough to call a Holiday for me! I made some scrumptious cupcakes for Dan to share at his meetings today (they were a huge hit). I love baking treats when they turn out so pretty!  

After Dan got home from work, I made his favorite chocolate delight, LAVA CAKES. Seriously, any excuse to make these and I'm happy. Dan was a happy boy as well! I sure know the way to his heart...chocolate lava cakes!

And MY valentine (slash bday, slash anniversary) present is this pretty little number... Hence, the awesome food pictorials! I've wanted a new camera for a while now and even more since we found out Baby T is on her way. Totally worth the investment! Can't wait to start snapping away! 

Hope you all felt loved today, I know I did :)

Baby Update

I wish I had a better excuse for my lack of blogging, but it really only means one thing...Nothing interesting has been happening at the Tracy house. We're in Michigan, it's winter, I'm cold. That about sums everything up!!!

So here are some snapshots of the growing abdomen...and it sure is growing! It's very evident now that I'm pregnant. Little kids are always asking me if I have a baby in my tummy lol, it's cute. I'm also starting to get the "strangers put their hands on my belly." I wont lie, it's kinda strange. But I guess it all comes with the territory!

Some milestones I've hit over the past month of pregnancy have included:

• Baby T is about the size of a large eggplant weighing in at an average of 2 lbs. 
• Tons of baby movement, super cool!
• Back pain, not cool at all.
• Heartburn, ick.

Cravings:

• Cold cereal. I eat about 3-4 bowls per day. It's awesome! I have every variety of Special K cereal in our pantry. Blueberry and Cinnamon Pecan are my favorite :)
• Homemade milkshakes. Each night I make my own milkshake. A little ice cream, some banana, some chocolate chips and a splash of milk... Heaven! 

Besides getting ready for our baby girl to get here, not much has been going on. I shop online for baby deals while Daniel is away on business trips in Brazil. I have Sadie to keep me company while he's away and we just hang out and do our thing :)
