This weekend was my birthday (the big 28) and I finally announced your anticipated arrival to Facebook. Dad got me a bead for my Pandora bracelet and I took a picture and put it up as my profile picture. It was a baby carriage, so at the point, everyone had to know that we would only have a baby carriage bead for one reason! Everyone was sooo excited and posted happy wishes and thoughts for our family. This is such an exciting time for everyone in the family. I know it's going to be a little hard for most of my side of the family because they are so far away. But, hopefully this will just inspire them to come down and visit more often.
So back to the birthday weekend. On Friday we went to dinner at Fire and Sticks. It was delicious!! Japanese is always so yummy, but they give you WAY to much food and then you feel so bad afterwards. After dinner we all went bowling which was sooo much fun!!! Mommy kicked everyone's but! (Well, the first game anyway.) It was really fun and then we went home and had cake. Saturday I got to go shopping for more clothes to fit my belly. I went to this consignment store and found 2 complete outfits for less than $35! You won't understand the importance of that for awhile, but trust me...this was a great deal for Mom. After shopping I just kind of piddled around the house and did some laundry. Then Dad and I went out to Grandma and Grandpa McCrazy's for dinner. They actually surprised me and took me out to dinner at the winery they like so much, Sanders Ridge. It was yummy. I ate soup, and fried asparagus, and a turkey sandwich. Yummmmmmy! It was a low key, but fun birthday weekend for me. And of course, I think the most fun thing was reading all of the Facebook posts that people keep sending about you!
Your Aunt Ron-Ron and cousins are coming to visit next week. They should get here on Friday night/Saturday morning. Then Daddy's birthday is coming up. Not sure what we are going to do for that because he says he doesn't ever want to do anything, but we'll see. We do get to see you on his birthday though and we are SO excited about that. The Bump website says you are about the size of a lime, and next week you should be the size of a plum. Doctor says Mom and Dad will be really surprised to see how big you have gotten since the last picture we saw.
I keep checking images online to see where you are in my belly. Then I try to feel around and see if I can feel you, but I think you are still pretty tucked away in there. I cannot WAIT to be able to feel you move. People say that doesn't happen for awhile so I guess I will just have to be patient. It's so hard...
Well my little peanut...I better say good bye for today. I love you so much!
Love,
Mom
