Yesterday I celebrated my 31st birthday and while it won’t be my last (hopefully), it was my last birthday without any children. When you get married you go from being the most important person in your own life to second. When we bought our dog Chase, I was moved to third....without being consulted. Now as we wait for the arrival of our first child, my days in the 3-hole are numbered. Soon enough, I’ll be batting cleanup. Suffice to say, when I turn 32 next year, we’ll probably have a lot more going on than we did this year..and this did not escape me yesterday.
It was a good day, as far as birthdays go. Tiffany made me pancakes (though I think she wanted them even more than me), we took Chase for a long walk and went to lunch at Cafe Express. After lunch we walked around the Sugar Land Town Center and I got a new pair of sneakers before we headed to HEB to pick up some items Tiffany needed to make my birthday dinner: Crab Cakes, 4-Cheese Macaroni and Cheese and Mississippi Mud Pie. The crab cake recipe came from her grandfather and while she said she has made them before, I certainly don’t remember. But we’ll be having them again!
One of our neighbors came over for dessert which led to a quick scan of the living room to remove any baby related items. All books for the most part, they were put on the dresser in our bedroom. The books were easily out of sight until I invited Brittany (our neighbor) into our bathroom to see our large collection of soap that Tiffany has accumulated through coupons and sales for free. When I suggested she take a look, Tiffany quickly said pretty loudly, “No, don’t go in there!” We haven’t told our neighbors yet, we’re waiting until after the next doctor visit so if Brittany had seen the books, it would have ruined the surprise I guess. Brittany didn’t notice, I guess she didn’t make it a priority to study everything in our room as she walked through it.
As far as the pregnancy,Tiffany seems to be doing quite well. She’s just tired a lot and has a little bit of nausea once in a while. It’s been pretty tame so far for her, as far as symptoms are concerned. This Wednesday we should find out our due date (finally) and exactly how far along we are which will be nice to know.
