My 3d/4d scan is next Saturday, I am counting down the days!!! 13 days to go!

So I am so excited my Husband's Grandmother bought us our crib as her gift for the baby! I have already had my DH assemble the crib and put it into the baby's room. I still need a mattress and bedding and the matching dresser/changing table. It makes it more real to see the crib in the baby's room! I am so grateful so now we can put that money towards something else for the baby... YEAH!!

A big bonjour to the new ladies!!

Today is such a nice nice nice day, in the fact the whole week looks like summer. Unfortnuately that means sitting at the park after DD gets out of school. Today will be fine but tomorrow with the humidex we're looking at 37 degrees celcius and I'm not sure I'll be able to stand it! How am I going to survive the summer so pregnant? Last time around I was sooooooo happy to deliver in early June and couldn't imagine being pregnant for the whole summer. I'd set up the pool for DD but with the water-ban we're under I'm not allowed. Looks like we'll be driving to my mom's house and using her hose. Oh well, cheaper water bill for me! lol

I'm looking forward to my OB/scan appointments on Thursday myself. Definitely hoping to get a definite confirmation on gender for at LEAST one baby. Both would be great! But I know I'll be getting scans every other week so I guess eventually we'll know. I'm hoping the babies have moved out of their transverse positions and are going to more traditional postions.

My goal for the week is to get the spare room cleaned out so I am ready to start decorating as soon as we know the genders.

I also need to finish getting DD's stuff for her birthday. This is our last birthday we will be spoiling her rotten so I'm having fun getting her presents. Just can't decide on how I'll be decorating the cake. I kinda outdid myself with the underwater mermaid scene last year. Any ideas? DD is super girly.

Kinda depends on whether or not neutral decor and early infant clothing bothers you or not really. You could find out though and then keep it a secret to everyone else in the family. That would kinda fun too! DH didn't go for that when I suggested that after he insisted we find out. Boo!

I was pregnant from Jan thru to October with my DD also, that summer it was up to 108f with 100% humidity. I pretty much spent my summer submerged in the neighbourhood pool lol

We actually just got back from the pool this morning, its 12n and already in the 80s. ick. In the week I just fill my DDs paddling pool with a couple inches of water and let her splash around in that out the back while I chill in the shade under the gazebo

ooo this is were my forte lies!!!! i loooove baking!
My DD is 3 in july and is also a ridiculously girly girl, im going to be doing her a princess castle cake! 2 square cakes 1 smaller to tier, 4 swiss rolls, 1 on each corner and top them with ice cream cones then decorate as desired! haha!!

or a handbag cake, a big square cake, round off the top too edges, cover in strips of different coloured icing and make balls of icing for the handle and use some white to make a lock on the front

good luck! xx

I love cakes and such as well. My main focus is cookies though. I make TONS of cookies every year for the neighborhood, church, police, library, hospital and firemen.

My sil took the whole Wilton decorating classes and is pretty awesome at what she does.

I try to stick with cookies and cupcakes though. LOVE decorating. LOVE my KitchenAid

I love the castle idea!!! I have two cakes to make. One for all the local extended family, about 15 adults so that castle would be perfect. I need something a little more portable for the birthday party. It's only 10 children but I have to bring the cake to the movie theatre. I was going to do cupcakes but DH veto'd them. I definitely plan on doing a rainbow swirl cake inside. It was such a hit last year. Just not sure what to design ontop. I'll have to think a little harder. I thought of a giant hedgehog but DD didn't like. DH hates the barbie skirt ones... hrmm.. off to go search online for ideas..
