Doo doo doo doo doo, happy birthday to me!
And all that Beatles stuff...
Ok, so I have to admit something. At first when I realized that last year was probably my last totally drunken birthday in a good long while, I was a little sad. I know. I know. Good things are in my not-too-distant future, but I assume it's only natural to mourn the passing of your past life when you're about to embark on big change. Mommyhood must be the mother of all big change so I think I should be forgiven for a momentary bout of sadness. But it was only momentary. All in all, I can't wait to start 32!
So back to this year's birthday. It was really pretty fantastic! Greg arranged a dinner last night with a few friends at Hyde Park Bar & Grill, a restaurant I had always heard such raves about and really wanted to try. The meal was delicious. Being preggo, I didn't feel even slightly guilty about devouring my chicken-fried steak - bonus! And I must say once again that I feel so incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such great friends here in Austin. I wish I could give them all a big, wet, sloppy kiss! But they might not want to be my friends if I did that on a regular basis so most of the time, I refrain.
Then today I was spoiled again. First came the bouquet - so pretty!
And then Greg prepared what is probably my most favorite meal in his repertoire - goat cheese salad and sauteed sea scallops. So yummy!
He also got me a full-length body pillow - just what every girl with a burgeoning belly desires.
And I'm also getting an as-yet-to-be-chosen laptop computer. Yay! I just need to pick out what I want, and I will finally be mobile, something bound to come in handy if I should happen to be forced into bedrest and once the babies are here. My husband... What can I say? At least I can give him big, wet, sloppy smooches...

Sounds like you had an ultra-fab birthday! And a body pillow....to die for. I've been rockin' mine since Christmas and have been sleeping like a baby!!
What a nice way to spend your birthday!! I agree- not having the ability to have a glass of wine, or a beer on your birthday is somewhat of a bummer....but as you said, better things lie ahead! I turn 30 in 1 month and I'll be exactly in the same position as you.
P.S. can't wait for the body pillow!
Cheers to a great 32nd year!!
