So the following weekend, it was Sherry and Cliff's turn to be surprised. They were definitely on to us. Knowing how hard we'd been working on the condo, they thought it was suspicious we took a weekend off to go to Aiken. Haha!
I wanted to do something special for Cliff since this little Archie is carrying on the family name. It took over three hours and four trips to the grocery store to finish this birthday cake. Mainly because I'm a dodo and didn't bring a list to the store with me and kept forgetting things. But it was totally worth it!
I made the cake layers several different shades of blue. An idea that is popular on Pintrest. Below is the finished product.
Then, we sang happy birthday. Below is the video, just click on the picture. It is really dark in the room but the reaction is still there and so sweet.
This was also a special weekend b/c it was the first time Justin felt baby kick. Saturday night (7/7/12) we were laying in bed and he was kicking up a storm. I'd felt him kicking a few times before but every time Justin would run over to feel, baby would stop. This time Justin only waited a minute and bump! There it was. He jerked his hand away immediately which made me laugh but he promised it didn't weird him out. Justin has felt baby moving and kicking several times since and it is always so amazing to feel. Definitely a fun part of this whole experience.
