New Years, 6 Months Prego and My 29th B-day!!!

So I know I am so behind on everything so here is my EVERYTHING post on my b-day. Let's just say that our 2012 started out 100 times better than last years, as we were in the ER with Vienna last year, so to be in our own home was one of the BEST ways to roll in the New Year for sure!!! We had the Fitzners over for games and snacks. Mike got an old school popcorn popper for Christmas and we tried Jalapeno popcorn with no hint of spiciness at all, so Mike decided he was going to get a big habanero pepper and OH MY GOODNESS!!! It was horrible!!! the cooking part made it spread and we were all coughing, our eyes were watering, Mike had to give himself a mask to finish the job, it was HILARIOUS!!! None the less the popcorn was WaY tO SpiCY!!! We all tried it and I think betweent he 4 of us we drank a whole gallon of milk! We chucked that and made some normal stuff. Good thing we had a few other snack options. Since that time we have tried a big jalapeno but still no flavor at all, so we might try 1/2 a habanero. We also wore silly hats (that is a tradition in Jenny's family) which i think is a fun tradition.

Jenny brought these ones. Mike had a real rose attached to his party hat! oh yeah!


So because I have commitments tonight (good 'ol BUNKO) and Mike has a midterm to study for so we celebrated it last Saturday. We went to a Thai restaurant for lunch, ran some errands, had a yummy salmon dinner and Mike hid all my gifts around the house and I had to find them with clues. There was a store in Washington I discovered that I really liked and it had great prices. Mike bought me some jewellery and girly accessories from there (earrings, a necklace, 2 headbands and a fun chunky bracelet). He also got a chess set for us to play together. Which is what we did that evening and splurged on an ice cream bar. It was a great celebration!!!

This is my 6 month prego tummy. I am feeling him often and so far things are going really well. the only bummer part is that he is due on the exact day Mike starts his final exam week. What this means is that I will have to be induced a week or so early...again so that he can be there. Unless of course he comes early on his own anyway. Either way, all is looking healthy and great! So that is what really matters.
