Since I couldn't enjoy any libations this year due to Lil Moon, I decided to eat my way through my birthday week. Tuesday night we went to J. Alexander's and I enjoyed prime rib with brussel sprouts, and the most ridiculously AMAZING carrot cake you can ever imagine. This stuff is serious. I thoroughly enjoyed that night with my girls and my sweet hubby B.
Wednesday was the actual day and Jennifer just so happened to have most of the day off to play with us. I woke up to a showering of fun gifts from my parents, in-laws, and husband. Then the 4 of us went to a delicious lunch at Cottage Cafe here in Bellevue (where we had dessert of course) and then on to Bellevue Nails where Jennifer and Janet treated me to a manicure/pedicure. It was so great to be pampered! That night we (all the girls and B) went to another amazing dinner at Red Pony in Franklin. This restaurant is SO FANTASTIC. I have never had a bad meal there and everytime I go I have excellent service and leave with a smile on my face and fully belly. This time was no different...we did it up right! We had a tempura sushi roll and smoked salmon nachos for appetizer. Jennifer and I split the brussel sprouts salad and filet for our meal and then we enjoyed 4, yes 4 different desserts between the 5 of us. They were all fabulous but the stand-out was a bread pudding with a salted caramel sauce. RIDIC!
Friday it just so happened that I had a doctor's appointment, and celebrated 29 weeks down. I am officially 29 weeks pregnant now and feeling GREAT. Everything at the doctor was normal and moving right along. Lil Moon's heart rate was 135 which is great and all my vitals were normal as can be. Brennan had a meeting that morning so my mom got to go with me. That was really cool to have her with me and she got to hear LM's heartbeat for the first time. We are officially in the 3rd trimester now and heading for the home stretch. It is nuts when I think how fast this pregnancy has gone by.
Friday night we went to dinner with a bunch of our friends to Bonefish to celebrate my birthday. Yes..another fantastic meal with fantastic company. After dinner Amy and Brian were so kind to invite us back to their house to have birthday cake and play the Xbox Kinect. It was HYSTERICAL! We first played a dancing game and I haven't laughed that hard in a while...then we played some sports games that were equally funny. It was a blast.
All in all 29 was a great birthday and I was super spoiled as always. I am so looking forward to what this year will bring in my life.
