Tea & Crumpets

To celebrate Holly's birthday, we decided to try out the Tea House in Davidson. We had both driven by and thought it was so adorable, but had never stopped in. Well, let me tell you, we had such a fun, girly afternoon! And although we did not have any crumpets (what is a crumpet anyway?) we had our share of scones, baby crustless tea sandwiches, and delectable desserts.

Mini cucumber sandwich- so cute

Presents!

There were 3 rooms inside the house- a pink, "ladies who lunch" room where we ate, a little girl party room, and a very british/manly room. Here's a pic of the little girl room. I was getting some serious nursery inspiration here. But I digress..........

I can't say enough about this place. Perfect for a bridal/baby shower, a little girl's party, or just a fun afternoon. A good time was had by all!

As far as baby news goes, we've got our 12 week doctor's appt. coming up this Thursday. I'm feeling pretty good, a lot of the crazy fatigue has gone away. Looking forward to getting all my energy back, watch out! I'll send an update after the appt.

Love,

Big News!

I think pretty much everybody knows this now bc I'm a big blabbermouth, but we are going to be parents! Everything is going great- I'm at 10 weeks along right now. We had a doctor's appointment last week and got to hear the heartbeat, which was AMAZING! We felt really lucky bc the doctor told us there was only a 10% chance that we would be able to hear something this early, but right after he said that we heard, "guh guh, guh guh" (why did I just think of that scene in "Dirty Dancing" with Patrick Swayze putting his hand on his heart trying to teach Baby how to dance.....these random things are just popping into the head these days).

This week, the baby is about 1 and 1/4 inches long and about the size of a kumquat. Our due date is 10/13/09. We're very excited and can't wait to meet Baby Maldoff!

Here's our first baby bump pic at 10 weeks:

This early, it's really more of just a bloated belly, a "food baby" you could say. We took this when my parents visited, so our foods of choice consisted of pizza, burgers, chili dogs, ice cream, and pretty much any other unhealthy thing we scarf down.

More updates to come soon!
