To celebrate this occasion, I made my absolute favorite chocolate cake. I have made it so many times, I practically don't need a recipe anymore. It is so easy and delicious and comes out perfectly most each time.
We made it a point to visit Ontario for a few weeks to attend a wedding and catch up with our family and friends. We feel fortunate to have both our families near. During our visit, we made sure to meet with everyone and had a great time with them.
He has finally arrived! Sebastian Thomas Hands was born on Saturday, September 19th at 10:27 pm. As predicted by the ultrasounds, he's a big boy weighing 9 lbs and measuring 21 inches in length. Sometimes, when I hold him, it's hard to believe that he was once inside of me. It's an incredibly surreal feeling.
I am pregnant!!!! I still feel so weird to say it out loud, even at 4 1/2 months. I've been pretty reluctant to tell people the news, after suffering a miscarriage last September. I am still in shock and disbelief that there is a tiny person living inside of me. I still get nervous at every doctor's appointment when they look for the heartbeat.
