Yesterday was my 25th Birthday - Even more crazy to me it was also the first day of my Third Trimester. I can not believe it has gone by so fast! We are in the home stretch now...our sweet addition to the family will be in our arms before we know it!
Ryan and I had such a fun weekend! His Birthday was on the 4th, he turned 28 this year :)
We stayed in for dinner and homemade strawberry shortcake and enjoyed our evening together.
Friday I got to work to find my station had been ransacked/decorated! My Mom sent me the most beautiful bouquet from Toni's, Neda got me a gorgeous scarf & bracelets & Mary surprised me with cupcakes from Merritts for the party! Her & Joenna also got the baby two onesies from Lazy Days! Everyone at work was SO sweet - thanks for the card too!
That evening we met Jared & Marla at the Brady to see the talented miss Norah Jones! She is absolutely cute as a button. Tulsa was her first show to kick off her tour. She was spunky & funny and chatted back and forth to the crowd. Her opener was a unique folksy duo from Denton, Texas - Sarah Jaffe & Robert Gomez. It was a great intimate show with great company!
Saturday Ryan and I woke up to a beautiful sunny day and cleaned like the dickens!! We scrubbed, vacuumed & dusted almost every inch of our house in preparation for our Birthday Party. My Grandma popped in for a surprise visit to bring us homemade cookies (yummm!) She saw the Nursery for the first time and just went crazy over it :) Our friends started showing up around 7 and stayed into the wee hours of the night. It was so much fun to have everyone together again - we have been pretty out of the loop since we found out I was pregnant. It was so heartwarming that every single one of them showed up!! We even had two adorable babies come to play! Kylie & Dave (almost Newlyweds!) brought their daughter Aisley, & Jessi & Tommy brought their son Collin.
Aisley just learned to crawl & even stand up with the help of any solid structure she can find, so she was scooting all over the house. Chloe was fit to make sure she was herded properly. She nosed Aisley in the face a few times & Aisley decided to stick out her tounge and lick her back :) Collin was introduced to us for the first time and he is just the sweetest little boy! He got sleepy later in the night and Jessi got him to sleep in the nursery - she put him down in the crib and he looked so precious! Such an honor!! We got some of the COOLEST presents! April&Chris got a sonogram frame from Bonnie Marcus for the nursery that is too precious! Jessi&Tommy got us the cutest owl nightlight from Pottery Barn Kids that fits our theme perfectly! Sirikit, Beth & Nate got us a cute birdie bag stuffed full of treats like onesies, a bottle, & rattle & more! We got some pretty neat/sweet birthday cards too :)
It was so great to catch up with everyone and get my round of hugs in.
Sunday was the most amazing lazy Birthday that I can remember. We didn't do much of anything and it was simply glorious! Ryan woke me mid morning with a back/foot rub, then the three 1/2 of us went and got breakfast. The weather was perfect. We came back and opened all the windows and curled up on the couch together and talked for hours. Ryan and Chloe fell asleep in my lap so I dozed off for a bit too! We got up and took Chloe for a walk - she was soooooooooo happy for her first Spring time walk. I had a sweet chat with my Momma then watched the funny E Cards Sherry sent me. Then we took a quick trip to the grocery for Birthday Dinner fixins! Ryan made me a delicious filet mignon with garlic red skin potatoes & a bubbly pomegranate spritzer. We ate & had fresh pineapple over a movie then cleaned up & turned ourselves in for the evening. It was the most perfect day!
