Happy Birthday to me! I turned 28 this week and I have a lot to be thankful for. I hope this update finds you all well. We have had a lot to celebrate this holiday season, you will have to scroll down though December and see. My sister's wedding, a Texas Christmas celebration, and my parents anniversary. I wish you all a great start to the new year, and may many blessings be upon you throughout 2009!
My sister, Christina, and my friend, Tracy, took me to the spa at Mario Tricoci for an hour long pedicure and a manicure the day before my birthday. After the spa they took me to Grand Lux Cafe for dinner, and much to my surprise, there were friends and family to greet us. I really enjoyed myself throughout the day and I really appreciate all the effort that went in to the festivities! My parents joined us as well, and they celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary!Happy anniversary mom & dad!
Aubrie had her very first sleepover with grandma so we couldpaint the town after dinner!
Picking up our little girl! We missed her.The next day was my actual birthday. Justin and I enjoyed our first breakfast alone since last year, before we picked up Aubrie. We then spent the day relaxing together at home and ended the day blowing out my candles and counting my blessings.
It's really only 28 candles, it's a small cake!
Aubrie helped..yum!Oh....and one more thing to be thankful for...
Aubrie is going to be a big sister!
Here we go again!
It is all very new, but the beans have been spilled. Technically, I should be waiting one more month before I share the news. We found out on Christmas Eve, after my blueberry pancakes were not sitting well. We waited until our Texas trip to tell my whole family, which was hard to do. My due date is September 2nd. I have already been to the doctor and everything looks good. Justin & Aubrie came with me and we were all able to hear the baby's heart beat. The heart rate was a healthy 144 bpm. It was overwhelming and emotional for me, it must be the hormones. I have not been as lucky as I was with Aubrie. This time I have been feeling pretty awful and chasing a one year old doesn't help. I was sick the whole time we were in Texas. Justin has been amazing and I am thankful he knows how to do dishes and laundry. He has stepped up and helped me tremendously on the days I feel like I can not function. I am hoping it all passes soon. We are very excited and looking forward to the kids being so close in age. They will be almost two years apart and hopefully they will be great friends. And by that I mean they will occupy each other! Ha!
I will keep you all posted with any updates.
God Bless!
