Thursday was Steve's 34th birthday! He worked all day so I spent most of the day tackling Mount Baby Laundry. That isn't even all of it, I found more after I took the picture. I ended up doing three loads of laundry to wash all the baby clothes we've collected. Ellie has quite the wardrobe! (note this pile ranges from newborn to 3T and she still needs more cos we don't have a lot of every size)
We went to the White Spot for dinner per birthday boy's request! I picked up a couple cupcakes from the Marble Slab but we were so full we didn't end up eating them until Saturday. I got Steve a video game and an iTunes card. I got him a birthday card from Ellie too :)
Friday:
Friday was Steve's convocation! So we were up super early and on the train before 7 to get to SAIT by 8. Dad bought us breakfast when we got there and then we dropped off Steve to line up. The ceremony was about 3 hours long and Steve was at the very end! After the ceremony we grabbed a quick lunch at the Gateway and headed home.
Friday night we went to OJ's for dinner with the fam to celebrate both of us finishing school. My sister brought her new boyfriend! We ordered a few appetizers while we waited for Kathy to get off work and by the time my dinner got there I was so full I could only eat a bite or two! Ellie was thumping away in my belly from all the soda. (And I wonder if because I was so full she was pushed up a little?) I should have taken before and after pictures from dinner cos if I didn't look pregnant before we ate I definitely did after. Food baby and a baby make for some round tummy. I'm pretty sure it was half the size when I woke up on Saturday.
Saturday:
I wasn't feeling very well on Saturday so we took it easy. The bedding my mom ordered for Ellie's room came in so we picked it up and made enchiladas for dinner. I spent most of the day laying in bed feeling sick. I think from a combo of busy Friday and cutting back on diclectin <-- bad idea. I'm picking up more this week.
Sunday:
Sunday we picked up groceries and celebrated Steve's birthday at my dad's. Bday boy requested teriyaki pork tenderloin and birthday brownies (aka salted pecan brownies with buttercream) and my dad was happy to oblige :)
this is the only birthday picture I took all weekend, bad Christy
Unfortunately, because I cut back on diclectin and had a busy weekend and ate the brownie I ended up getting sick Sunday night for the first time in three weeks. So lame. Definitely need to get more of that.
Congrats on the graduation!! Such a great accomplishment!! Can't wait to see the bedding!! Lots of clothes! I found it hard to buy ahead because of the seasons! I also shop mostly at Carters because if you keep your receipt and the tag is still on they will refund you even a few years later! Crazy!
