Spa Day

I decided for Jared's Birthday that we would go together to the Battle House Spa here in Mobile. I for sure could use a massage before our first baby is born in 3 weeks or so and he had never had a professional massage. It was for sure a new experiance for Jared and in his words he was "out of his element." The massage felt great and the woman that was trained in pregnancy massages was very accomidating to my big belly and natural uncomfortable feelings. Jared had a woman as well, that was one of his requests he didn't want "some dude" rubbing on him! When we were leaving I asked him how he liked his massage, he said he couldn't stop thinking about what his Dad would be thinking if he was in a spa and it made him laugh to think about if his Mom did something like this for him. Jared decided that in the future he will get me a massage and I can just give him one at the house.

We also went out for dinner at Longhorns. I think that the huge steak, potato, and beer made up for the girly day at the spa. At the end of the day we both fell asleep very satisfied with our day.
Happy 25th Birthday Jared! 2/28

Finished Shelf

The shelf turned out really good, Jared clear coated it yesterday and by last night it was already in the house with stuff on the shelves. I think that we are going to move the books to the bottom and put our unity candle from the wedding on the second shelf. We have to watch what we put on the bottom, our dogs may be grown but sometimes they get into mischief...

The Real Thing

Jackie has been slaving away making sure that our daughter will have a bow to match all her outfits. She made all these by hand! You can't live in the South and not have a bow on your baby girl's head! She is set thanks Grammy!

Bows

We all decided since the new arrival will be sporting some fancy bows that Jared's Mom made, that we should try some out too. Our bows were a bit less fancy... I think Chester liked it the most!

Banana Muffins

Banana muffins for a month! So I have decided that I go a little crazy with portion size when I bake. I froze half so I can have them later, and ate almost all the rest. Yummy!

The Shelf In It's Natural State

Here is the first picture of the shelf Jared built for pictures, books, and other little things. We may have to child proof it before our daughter gets big enough to get to it. Well maybe we will just put her books on the bottom shelf. I will put the finished product on as soon as Jared is finished.

The Final Product

Jared finished his staining process today with one more coat of clear on the table. It looks so nice in our living room, now we just need a coffee table and another end table. The shelf just needs some stain and it will be ready to go.
