Had my check up this week and everything is still going smoothly! Baby is still moving a lot and was told to start keeping track of the kicks. Heartbeat is still at 150 and was told I am gaining weight normally and blood pressure is normal. I was told my results from my last glucose test was I was borderline anemic and should start taking iron pills. So that is what I'm taking with my multi vitamin and folic acid everyday. It's harder to get up from the bed or couch now and I still make sure to walk every day or at least almost every day LOL.
My 31st birthday was Thursday, Nov. 14th and I still wanted to celebrate even a little bit because this was going to be my last birthday with out a baby. I know having Violet will make it more special next year though. :)
My aunt Brenda in Alabama sent me a nice surprise at work! African Violets! Thank you so much Aunt Brenda! This is so sweet and very thoughtful!
The day before my actual birthday I had a girls dinner at an Italian restaurant.(My favorite food) and wanted to check out this restaurant called Ciao because I heard really good reviews. It did not disappoint. Portions were huge but it was very very good and I'm glad to have my girlfriends join me. :). Thank you girls for the presents! I have a lot of desserts! And because I have been craving brownies, they remembered and got me brownies and brownie mix LOL.
On my actual day, I wanted it to be relaxing. I had the idea to just watch TV and be lazy in bed. That's exactly what I did.
I still went to work though and came to this. They also got me some apple pie LOL.
If you're familiar with Nothing Bundt Cakes, I suggest you sign up to get their emails. You get special coupons and even get a free mini Bundt cake on your birthday! So I stopped by and got one. I love their cakes!
I got pumpkin. Seemed appropriate for November.
Friday we went to see the play Wicked. This was a birthday present to myself because I always wanted to see it. It was a great show! I just wish I wasn't dosing off in the first half! I'm use to going to sleep early and I was so sleepy! I'm glad they had intermission and I got refreshed and woke up. Oliver had the same problem but we both enjoyed the show! I would definitely like to see it again.
Saturday was my brother's 19th birthday. Me and him are 2 days apart. He wanted to have a party at home so we had tons of food, a DJ, and some dancing. I think the older crowd took advantage of the DJ more than my brother's friends did though but it was still fun.
Wouldn't be a Filipino party with out a buffet!
Next week I will hit 3rd trimester! I can't believe it's going by so fast!
