Last night my sister and I hosted a party for my mom here at my house. It was a dinner party. We served Lasagna, salad and garlic bread. followed by a delicousness cake! I had been wanting to bake a layered cake for a while now and needed an excuse to do it. I made red velvet chocolate cake and my sister made devil's food, so there was a total of 4 layers. we did a thin layer of yummy frosting in the middle of each layer and then topped the whole thing off with a semi-sweet frosting that was scrumptious! i hate cakes when they are lathered with disgusting frosting that should never be consumed (= it turned out perfect! we sprinkled some almonds on top and it was a smash! i am so bummed that we didn't take a picture before cutting into it, it was so lovely(= so just know that it was 10 times as lovely as this picture(=

getting prepared for it that day was kinda crazy. we had all three of our kids running around the house. and our blockade had to be taken down because of the tables we brought in. so they kept coming into the kitchen, let's just say i got a little stressed out (= but everything turned out great and everyone had fun. I can't wait to do another one soon!

I can't believe i am 30 weeks pregnant!!! two more months to go.. or so.....

still not sure about a name yet. but we have been wanting to tell people our idea and see what kind of reactions we get. we definitely don't want a common name, but also don't want something too crazy. so the two names we have been tossing around are Nile and Zeven. we have been calling him both names at different times, just so we can get used them and see which one feels right. or maybe neither. at least we know we can still take our baby home from the hospital, even if we don't have a name yet..... crazy but true.
