May 9, 2008: 25 weeks and I'm getting paid to be pregnant!

At least it seems that way...First, thanks to my friend Kate, I got hooked up into a survey where I ate frozen yogurt from two different vendors and then completed a survey on each. My valuable info is worth $100!! Nick was pleased to see my ice cream eating skills were finally paying off :) So the past two days, I've been "working", eating yogurt every night and trying different toppings like fruit, graham crackers, and of course chocolate. Then last night I got to attend a special shopping night at Nordie's with Jamie. The store was open only to valued customers and we shopped with champagne (water for me) and appetizers. They were having a raffle for a baby basket and since we were up there shopping for doo, I decided to enter. Doo's luck is rubbing off, because today they called to let me know I won!! Well I guess doo really did win since it was a whole basket of Mustela bath and body products for him! It included baby lotion, cleanser, cologne (he's so LA already), wipes, and a bag. It also had some creams for new mommies too. I promised doo I'll remove the pink bow before he sees it. I also purchased a funny pacifier that I think will soon be appropriate :) So far, doo and I are having a pretty good weekend.
Nick got to attend the Lakers play-off game this week. He was in the company suite and was there to see Kobe Bryant get presented as the NBA MVP. He had a great time and came home with a Lakers jersey for doo. I have a feeling this is only the first of MANY jerseys to come...
On another note, I'm very sad I can't be with my sibs who are graduating. Congrats to Linds, who graduated from Texas State today, Amelia, who graduates from Belmont tomorrow, and Alex who graduates from Notre Dame next weekend. Doo and I wish we could be with you all, and can't wait to visit with you college grads this summer!

$100!!! that's 14 more trips to cold stone!!! doo is so lucky. i know he will love his baths and massages from his mommy and daddy with his new products--what an LA baby. emily, we all miss you too. we will send lots of pictures tomorrow of amelia's graduation, but none of the baskin robbin ice cream cake we are having at the little (survivor)party tomorrow night for amelia, alex, adam and w. i am sure it won't be as good as cold stone.
