Sleeping Through the Night

Because of my beloved Snoogle

Seriously...if you are an expectant mom and experiencing any sort of sleep deprivation, buy this pillow - it's a dream come true (pun intended). It's so dreamy, that it may become a permanent fixture (or blockade as Steve likes to refer to it) in our bed. I bought mine at Babies R Us, but you can also order online. Speaking of Babies R Us, we had to get some registering done and went last night at 9pm (after stopping and buying our rocker/recliner - woohoo!) and it was perfect...we were pretty much the only people in the store - made things very easy. Made me realize (once again) how lucky I am to have such an easy going husband - his only request was for a bag of microwave popcorn waiting in the car for the 15 minute drive.

Now I'm curious...in a few months when my sweet boy wakes me up in the middle of the night, will the Snoogle get me back to sleep? I sure hope so!

* A huge thank you to my mamma friend Courtney for the advice on this gem.

* Happy Birthday *

To my Dad...J.Coff...Father John...John-Boy
The Best Dad and soon-to-be Best Grandpa in the World

Along with 35 of my Dad's nearest and dearest friends and family, Megs and I (with the help of some of our parents friends) threw our Dad a surprise birthday party on Saturday. For anyone that knows our Dad, they know that he is a modest man that would never want to be the center of attention especially to celebrate him. Thankfully, this surprise went off without a hitch and he was shocked when he walked through the door. The evening turned out to be perfect. Everyone that was there to celebrate with us holds a special place in my Dad's heart and I'm thankful that they were all there to celebrate this amazing guy.

Happy Birthday John-Boy...hope you enjoyed your day off today. We Love You!

Thank you to JOAT for the fabulous cupcakes and thank you to Steve for finding the half pint carton's of milk (my Dad loves milk...especially with dessert so it was only fitting to serve it with the cupcakes).

* 25 Weeks *

You'd think as a photographer, that I'd take a bit more of an effort in working on my personal pregnancy photos, but I haven't...I'll work on that in the upcoming weeks. I'll also work on moving "updating my blog" further up on my priority list.

Here I am before work this morning - 25 weeks tomorrow and feeling awesome. He's definitely become quite the active guy. Highlight of the past couple of weeks was when Steve actually got to feel some of his movements - Melted.My.Heart.

I put on one of my two pairs of maternity pants for the first time on Tuesday and fell madly in love. I truly didn't "pop" until about a week ago so I've been sticking with my pants from the previous post, but these pants are a dream!

Next post might be an update on my fabulous holidays spent with friends and family, etc, but we'll see about that because after work I sometimes just prefer hanging out with my hubby, and catching up with my friends Chelsea Handler, Ellen and Oprah instead of more time in front of the computer.
