1st Mothers Day as a Mom!!!

Happy Mothers Day!!!

Wow it is so surreal that I am a Mother,  well in the sense that I am carrying our little Fox and doing the best I can to get him the best nutrition and be as healthy as he can be.  I guess I thought I would look different.  Anyways, we had a wonderful weekend with my parents.  They have been visiting so much and it is so nice to have them see me grow.  We went to my restaurant  for Mothers Day Brunch, which was really nice but as always awkward to eat where you work.  Then afterwards we went to Salt & Straw ( the best Ice cream in the world, even Oprah approve's)  I had the Monkey ice cream with spiced caramel and walnuts,  my Mom had the Rhubarb with the anise crumbles and my Dad had the Praline caramel.  Oh boy was it a treat.  After that we had a wonderful walk  through the Vancouver Farmers Market.  It was so nice to spend Mothers day with my Mom, who means the world to me and I hope I am half of the mother she is.  Later on we relaxed and had a BBQ in our backyard for Dinner.  Thanks Mom and Dad for coming to visit!

So I am 30 weeks this week.  Very exciting I only have 10 more weeks to go maybe less and hopefully not more.  After last week with the Midwives,  they put me on a heavy heart burn medicine and Valerian Root to help me actually sleep.  They seem to be working,  which is super great.  Jasper has been kicking my ribs ( which really hurt by the way)  but he is moving and jumping like crazy.  His head is down now so it looks as if he won't be breeched.  We finally got our Birth Supply list for our Home Birth.  We really need to get a lot to have a baby at home.  Oh well,  it is super exciting though.  Jasper is super healthy and we are very thankful for that.  

Hope you all have a wonderful week and I should be blogging every week now.

I went to the Valhrona Carmelia Demo Today.  It was incredible and I learned so much especially since Derek Poirier was teaching.  We sampled so many amazing desserts and had an incredible lunch.  

Thanks Valhrona for your free demos.
