27 Years Already?

Yesterday I turned 27, Happy Birthday to me! My family and friends are great, I was really spoiled this year! On Monday Benton and I drove down and ate at The Cheesecake Factory, my favorite!

 

On my birthday Benton gave me a Garmin, it tracks my calories, heart rate, speed, and much more so I can use this when I run or cycle...I can't wait to try it out.

 

Since I had to work on my birthday, they treated me like a queen. I'm not one to take off my birthday unless it gives me a longer weekend, otherwise I'd probably just sit at my house, so I like to go to work and be with my friends. My cute co-worker Monica decorated my desk in flowers and polka dots, she is so crafty~ it makes me jealous. She also made my favorite cake, Betty Crocker's Rainbow Party Cake, yummy! I could eat the whole pan-it's that good! I had to take a picture of me at my desk, it's just so dang cute and springy...makes me very cheery!

 

Overall my birthday was wonderful, I received a lot of fun gifts that I'm excited to use. Thank you all for the birthday wishes!

Dr. Visit

Today we had our 22 week appointment, which was our big ultrasound. The Dr. said it's definitely a girl, yay! She is perfect, everything looks great. It was so fun being able to see her in 3-D. You can see so much more than a regular ultrasound. Here is a picture of her perfect face (as Benton said)...

 

As we were adoring her cute little face we noticed how she has my nose and were just amazed at the resemblance even though she's still so little. So while we were all discussing her and my nose she moved her hand and covered her nose, so we no longer could see it. I thought that was so funny...somehow she knew we were talking about her nose. See for yourselves...

 

I love hearing her heart beat and knowing all is well in my belly. She moves around a lot and can't wait till I can feel her again. Benton started being able to feel her at 20.5 weeks, which was a lot of fun! So far I love being pregnant!

 

And here is what I look like at 22 weeks...definitely showing....
