Happy Friday the 13th!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!  Yep, my birthday does happen to land on Friday the 13th on occasion. Works well for me! Today, I turned 29! Yikes! I’m as old as my mom now…right Mom??!! haha. I am off of work today. I still always ask for my birthday off. It’s my day. I slept in this morning, and then got up and went and had a facial, pedicure, and manicure. This was the remainder of my Christmas gift card from Mom. Thanks! Stephen will take me out to dinner tonight, probably to Texas Roadhouse, one of my alltime faves. Gotta love those steaks! yummy. Tomorrow, we’re making a trip down to San Antonio to go to Sea World . Stephen’s company provided tickets to their employees and families. So, that should be fun. Hope it doesn’t snow this weekend! We also plan to stop by one of the hospitals to see one of our friends and their almost 1 yr old boy while we’re down there. He was born with congenital scoliosis, so he’s had his first surgeries to start correcting that. They’ve been there a couple of weeks already. We look forward to visiting with them.

Also, last night, we drove up to Waco to go to a consignment sale. I got some good stuff for Abriella! We got an exersaucer , a Baby Bjorn carrier (these are usually $80+, but I got one that had never been used for $20!), a shopping cart seat cover (also, never been used/opened for more than 50% off of the store price), a car toy thing (hangs on the seat in front of the baby’s carseat and has toys and a mirror, etc to entertain baby), and a lot of clothes! I have pictures of some of the things we bought. I’m also getting a jumperoo from one of our friends. She was going to consign it, but instead is selling it to me for cheap. With all this baby stuff in the house, it’s starting to make it a little more real that we are actually going to have a baby to use these things! Yikes!  I added some links to some of these things so you can see what they are on the web. Also, I added some pictures of the clothes I got! It’s so much fun to shop for little girls!

Next weekend, I’m hoping my mom will get to come to help paint the nursery! Stephen is definitely wanting someone else to take charge of that task! Then, we’ll start getting her nursery set up. We still don’t have the majority of the things we need for her, but all in good time (and baby showers will help!).

I will probably post another belly shot this Sunday. I think I’ve really grown this week. Not sure why this week is so special, but they do say that this week is a huge growth week for a baby–they grow about 1/2 pound this week. They don’t really put that much weight on at once regularly until the last month. So, big growing week for Abriella. It sure feels like she’s getting bigger—stronger and stronger kicks/punches! We can see my stomach move from her moving sometimes now. That’s wild!

Anyway, I’ll stop babbling now. Remember to take a look at the new pics I posted.  —-jen
