Birthday!

Yesterday was my 31st birthday. I was hoping I would get a baby for my birthday but I guess she didn't want to share birthdays. We didn't have too many plans but to see The Muppets later. Dave made me chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast!

I had bought a dress from the thrift store I really wanted to wear but I never got around to hemming it. I tried on a bunch of old dresses hoping one would magically fit over my belly. I thought I was hilarious and put on a fred perry dress Dave bought me right before I started growing a baby and never got to wear. 

I finally really got dressed and we headed to Salem. We love their theatre and wanted to walk around after the movie. 

It was such a nice day. Perfect for walking around. I miss our old neighborhood so much!

Has anyone else gone to see The Muppets yet?! I loved it! I might have teared up a couple of times. After the movie we walked around a little more. Went to Coven and got hot chocolate..they have vegan treats there now! But we didn't get any

After all the walking I was in pain and just wanted pizza. We went to Whole Foods, had a pizza made and bought 2 slices of vegan chocolate cake. When we got home, in front of our door there were flowers, a bear and balloon waiting for me! Dave sent them with a sweet note...I teared up again. 

I had such a great day! It couldn't have been a better day...unless baby girl had decided to come!

We took some pictures at the baby shower but as soon as everyone got there we forgot about the camera. So many people came that I hadn't seen in years. It made me a little sad that I don't get to hangout with them anymore.

My mom wanted a picture of her 6.5 grandkids (I didn't get it at first ha), me, my mom and the Tyras (they are like our cousins. I love them!)

It was so much fun. My mom and Sharon went out of their way to fix recipes and make almost everything vegan. I ate so much all day! My mom even found a lady in Cincinnati that makes vegan cakes. Check out Sweet Peace! It was delicious! 

I'm so happy and thankful for everyone coming, bringing presents and spending their day with us. We brought home an insane amount of baby things...like filled our trunk and backseat! I really didn't think many people were even coming and didn't expect to be bringing that much back with us. Thank you thank you thank you everyone! I can't wait to get her room completely finished to share...and for her to be here and put her in all these cute clothes!
