Mini-Baker

Well, when it's 95 degrees outside and you're 9 months pregnant, you solve the problem by staying in the air conditioning and baking yummy cookies :) Taylor loved to put her apron on, put all of the ingredients in one by one, watch me use the mixer, then as soon as the beaters came off, she was no longer my little "helper". She was off to watch Wizard of Oz with a cookie-dough laden beater in each hand, leaving me to finish the work of baking the cookies :)

Whoa, Mama!!!

Betcha didn't know a belly could get so big, huh?? AND I still have over 2 weeks to go!! The top picture is the day I got my henna tattoo from an old co-worker who hadn't ever done a pregnant belly and offered to do it for free! It's really dark because that's the actual ink being applied. Later that day, you scrape off the ink, and then it actually takes a couple of days for the dye to really settle. The middle picture is just to show how big I am.......which is why the other day Taylor pulled up my shirt and said, "Whoa, Mama!! Your tummy is getting too big! It's always hanging out of your shirts." Oh, and the last picture was taken because Taylor wanted to show how "huge" her tummy was, too. :)
