14 weeks and 23 years!

Saturday we celebrated my 23rd birthday, and my 14th week of pregnancy! Neither thing is too crazy exciting, but oh well. :) Sam and I went out together Friday morning before we worked and had lunch and we went and picked out my birthday present...a new CAMCORDER! I'm so excited about it! I've wanted one for awhile now, and when we found out I was pregnant, then I really wanted one!
This is the one we ended up getting.. it's sooo fun! All the videos go on a little SD card, so we can stick the card right in our computer and upload the videos! It's super fun.
Sam also got me the Leona Lewis CD, and I LOOOOOVE it! I almost have the whole thing memorized :) So I had a good birthday eve with Sam. I love that boy lots! I had to work at 1 that day and I barely had time to walk in the door before all the kids came running to me so excited for me to open my birthday presents from them! They were soo cute, they went to Build A Bear and made me a bear with a little bear ipod, and if you squeeze his foot he sings happy birthday. They named him Mr. Beary Chocolate Hamster...exactly what I would have named him! :) They were so happy about it and kept telling me that I can give it to my baby when it gets here! They also got me a pretty crystal heart paper weight type thing that says "Amy Super Rocks" on it. They got to pick out what it said and the font and color, so they were pretty excited about that too! And they also gave me a pretty candle from bath and body works! Fun! It was so cute and I felt soo special!
On my actual birthday, Sam and I got up early and drove down to Tucson so Sam could work at a fair with his family. I just hung out in a hotel room most the day with a few our nieces and nephews and Sam's mom. It was nice, we had lunch and then took a 2 hour nap! It was great! After the fair we all went to a casino for my birthday dinner... it was all you can eat seafood buffet and OH MY WORD all those tongan guys went CRAZY on all the food! I just kind of sat there and stared in amazement. :) But we had a fun night..and all in all it was a pretty good birthday! No complaints from me!!
Like I said earlier, Saturday was also my 14th week of pregnancy! Which means....I only have 3-5 more weeks til we find out what we're having.... and only 4 more weeks til I'm half way thru being pregnant! Crazy! I can't wait to get my first ultrasound and find out what we're having!!! This is what's up with my baby this week...I get a weekly update from a 3D pregnancy website and this is what it says...
Your baby now has fingerprints! Book 'em, Danno! Believe it or not, he actually created them himself while swimming around in the amniotic fluid. As he moved his hands, the skin on the tips of his fingers formed unique ridges and folds. That's why no one on earth has the same fingerprints, not even identical twins! Cool, right? Baby's arms are now in proportion to his tiny body, but his legs are still on the short size in comparison.Meconium, that tar-like, sticky first baby poop, is now loading up your baby's intestines, which means you might want to set aside a bottle of olive oil, one of the few things that will get the gooey poop off of baby's bottom. Your baby continues to gain new and impressive skills such as practicing and controlling voluntary muscle movements (this will help him fling food across the room later in life). Your tiny dancer's movements are no longer the jerky, uncontrollable twitches of yore—he now moves with graceful control. Your baby is now weighs about an ounce and is the length of a flip phone, or roughly 3.5 inches—he's tripled in size from a mere three weeks ago! Luckily, you haven't done the same.
...Pretty exciting right? :)
And speaking of babies, here are a few more pictures of baby Sophie...gosh, I just can't get enough of her! She's too too cute! Oh, and another speaking of babies.. one of my best friends Amanda had her baby on the 18th! She had a little girl named Addelyn. SHE is stinkin' cute too! I can't wait to go see her in a few weeks!! OK, so back to Sophie..here she is..

Well, I'm a little late, but Happy Birthday and happy 14 weeks! I'm really not late wishing you happy birthday cause i did that ON your birthday, remember? but thought it wouldn't hurt to say it again... drag it out as long as possible. I'm completely jealous of your camcorder. Maybe one day I'll be that cool.
