Happy Birthday To Me

It has been an eventful day, birthday or not! Aaron woke up at 5:45am and was up again at 6:15am. This wasn't too bad as we needed to get up early to drive Eric to work BUT Eric doesn't get up until 7am! Thankfully he fell asleep in the car on the way home and stayed sleeping in his car seat until 9:15am (He is still in his Graco Infant Safe Seat which is good up to 30 lbs) which means I got to sleep in! I didn't sleep very well last night. But we got through the day is was busy complete with a play group and trip to the mall.

All hell broke lose when Eric left for school tonight. Aaron is cutting a tooth and had a tiny fever of 37.5 C during the day and it went up to 38.5 Celsius after Eric left for school. Needless to say he wasn't too happy when I decided to give him a luke warm bath. After some crying and some Infants Motrin and a breast feed he napped for an hour and half. After his nap he seemed in better spirits. He still had a fever but was playing and eating a bit.

It has just been a busy day. I have had constant phone calls, and Facebook messages which sends a text message to my cell so I've go go go all day.

I do have a post to do on the Yummie Tummie as promised. I gave it a test run when I was in Vancouver. A post and pictures to follow.

All in all it seemed like a regular day. Now that I am a mommy, my birthday doesn't hold that much importance to me. It's all about Aaron. His birthday is next Wednesday my little April Fools Day baby will 1!

Short and Sweet

I don't have the energy to write a proper post. My neck hurts and I am fighting some kind of virus/head cold. I over did it last week with the studying and I didn't sleep very well leading up to my midterm. I really do not know how I did. Some stuff I knew, some I didn't.

I have been thinking about food lately. Aaron's 1st birthday is coming up in a little less than 2 months and I am throwing him a party for family and friends and I want his cake to be perfect. I am not going crazy with a theme or anything. I just want to make this cake. And I want to do it from scratch so I am going to start playing around with cake recipe's and butter cream frosting's now so I don't screw it up come birthday party time. I am going to buy fondant for the spikes and try making my own from a recipe that I found that seems easy enough. Having never made fondant or butter cream frosting I need to practice. I have also been thinking about what food to serve. I think about it a lot. I don't know if I should BBQ or do sandwiches? As it will be at my Aunt's place I think I will stick to finger and party foods. I make a killer spinach dip, and Mexican dip. Throw in a cheese ball, a veggie, meat and cheese plate and a few other things and I think I'll be set.

Well I have 2 things to accomplish before hitting the sack which I want to do soon. Tidy the kitchen and get a massage for my neck.

And if you like what you read go ahead and delurk or better yet add me to your blog roll. ;)
