Friday started with home-made breakfast made by Brett (yum!) and a trip to the doctor (since I am off work only on Fridays). I found out that my blood pressure was up from the last week (I was in on the 13th for a sonogram, at which they measure baby bro at 7 lbs. 12 oz.) Boo for high blood pressure! So, I had to go back in this Monday to double check. My doctor is not worried, since it did elevate near the end of my pregnancy with Jameston, and since I have not had any "worrisome" symptoms like headaches, blurred vision, etc. On Monday I was dilated to 2cm, and 50% effaced. Right now we are scheduled for a c-section on Monday morning unless he decides to arrive before then!
Back to my birthday festivities: after my doctor's appointment, my mom and I took Jameston to MiMi's Cafe for lunch (I had a Groupon!) While he napped and mom stayed home with him, I treated myself to a mani/pedi. It was so relaxing, and I think I "needed" it to bring my blood pressure down :-) I then went home to rest a little myself. Brett and I went on a date that night to dinner (California Pizza kitchen; Maggiano's had a 2-hour wait!) and a movie ("The Hunger Games"). I was flooded with calls, texts and Facebook messages that sure made this birthday girl feel loved and further put icing on the turning-30-cake :-) What a WONDERFUL day!Then on Saturday my boys offered to take me on a shopping trip to the Allen Outlet Malls, where I went somewhat "hog-wild" for clothes to wear post-baby (hopefully)! We went to lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings (had a gift card from Brett's birthday---I think I gained 10 pounds this weekend! oh well, just tack it on!) for some wings and Rangers baseball. That night, Brett grilled out fajitas for me and about 15 family/friends and their kids who came over to help me celebrate turning 30. No pictures of the group really, or myself for that matter...I just snapped ones of the kiddos having a grand ole time in the backyard. Another great day!
AND on Sunday, I was feeling VERY pregnant, so I relaxed and nested most of the day, while Brett cleaned out my car (it took him a LONG time, if that tells you how bad it was). I'm telling you, we could sell it right now it is that clean!
I had such a wonderful weekend that I wish I turned 30 more often :-) No birthday blues here...I am so excited to see what the next decade (and next few days) holds for me and my family. And I am even more ecstatic that one of my boys will have a birthday close to his Mommy's!
