(Okay, so a quick melodramatic moment...on my 30th birthday, I miscarried the first time, and on my 31st birthday, I was in the middle of my first trimester with Henry and was so sick!)
All that to say, I was super-excited about celebrating my birthday this year! I love celebrating with my different groups, so we had a family celebration, a date night, and a girl's night out! My actual birthday was on a Tuesday, so we took the girls to a great new Mexican restaurant that we discovered when we moved! After the restaurant, we came home for cake and presents!
Love Bella's face in this one!
Poor Henry!
The following weekend, Steve and I got a night away for the first time since Henry was born. It was hard to leave him, but honestly, I did better than I thought! We went to a hotel off of the Square, and became shut-ins for about 18 hours. It was glorious! We had room service, I got to take an incredibly long shower where no one bothered me for about 30 straight minutes, we went to sleep at 11:00 PM, and I didn't have to move until 7:00 AM the next morning. Sleep, beautiful sleep!
The next morning, we got to wake up slowly and have an amazing breakfast before heading home. One night was my limit to be away from Henry, and it was all I needed to feel refreshed and have some great alone time with Steve.
That Saturday night was our girls' night! I have always wanted to do karaoke, but I've never had a chance (or the guts!), so Mel dragged a group of us to a "family-friendly" karaoke place. It was so much fun! Mel, our friend, Andi, and I sang Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" and then Mel and I sang "Killing Me Softly". We laughed a lot, and vowed to return! :)
The weekend was a great success, and I was more than sufficiently spoiled! My parents and Steve's parents sent me birthday money for some Summer clothes, Mel got me a new spring-form pan for cheesecakes and some other kitchen goodies, Whitney got me a new book, Andi got me a 'Dia de los Muertos' vase, and Steve got me a gift certificate for a facial! I felt very loved and doted on!
