Birthday Weekend

June 20th is the big day when my Mom finally gave birth to me, and I showed to the hospital staff that you can't tell me what I'm going to do. The doctor examined my mom and told her and the staff I wasn't going to come for a few more hours, so I decided to speed things up a little bit. About 5-10 minutes after he left a nurse went to go and check on my mom and there I was crowning....so the nurse ended up delivering me and I have been a bit impatient ever since.

Friday night started the celebrations with the family. Steven's family took us to a new restaurant of my choosing. Just so you all know Sweet Tomato is a fantastic place to eat! I think it may become a new favorite of mine. I had never eaten there, but I just wasn't in the mood for my normal favs. Sweet Tomatoes has a huge salad bar with all the fixin's and then there is soup, bread, pasta, baked potatoes, all kinds of drinks, and desserts galore! Well of course the food was good, as was the company. Josiah was given his own tray of food with stuff that he had picked out to eat. I've never seen a two year old eat green peas and actually like them. He was cute most of the time. I think getting him in new environments and putting him in the middle of the table are all good things to get him to eat and not throw fits. He did really good on Friday night. Plus Lacey was as cute as ever. She was at the end of the table with Josh and she kept trying to lean forward and pull things off of the table. I think she managed to get a plate one time, luckily there wasn't any food on it at the time. After dinner we went back to the parentals to hang out. Well Steven and I had to have a rematch at Spades. We had played them the week before and they totally smoked us. We had our revenge Friday night!!!! (insert evil laugh) No we really had a good time and I gave Steven a billion heart attacks by going nil 6 times during the game.

Saturday was even better. First of all Steven let me sleep in sort of. He woke me up to tell me that he had to run an errand and asked what I wanted for breakfast when he got back. I managed to go back to sleep and I have no clue how long he was gone, but when he got back I was ready to eat. So I got up and we sat and watched the season 1 finale of NCIS while eating donuts. Once it was over Steven gave me my birthday present and it turned out to be season 2 of NCIS, so of course we popped in the first disc and began watching. He also got me beautiful sunflowers and had them in a vase when waiting when I got up. I love my birthday presents! The second half of my birthday present was a trip to Music Hall at Fair Park to watch The Wizard of Oz musical. Allison and Charlie came along with us and we had a great time. Afterwards Allison and I both admitted to almost crying through out the performance, granted we both are pregnant and our hormones are raging but it was fantastic show. The only thing I would have changed was the fact that Alexis wasn't there to enjoy it too. She would have loved it! I think we're going to try to take her to Mary Poppins in September. And the baby loves musicals, he moved more Saturday during the show than probably any other time. After the show we all went to dinner at Posados which has been a long time favorite of mine and Allison's. We had a strange waitress, who was more like a stepford waitress. I mean what she said to us was exactly word for word what she said to the next table over. Then she wrote her name, the date, and Posados on the top of my to go box. Just odd in my opinion.

Since it was still early and the two pregos weren't passing out just yet we went back to our apartment and talked the evening away. We chatted about all things and everything in between. Finally the evening came to a close when Steven started falling asleep on us and because Allison had to get home to finishing making a cake to take to Charlie's parents for father's day. Steven felt bad for falling asleep, but he tossed and turned Friday night and didn't get much sleep and then he was up at 7:00am that morning.

I would definitely have to put this birthday in my top five birthdays ever! And thanks go to my wonderful hubby! Love you!
