Birthday Recap and a Baby Update!

What a whirlwind of a weekend!! Mr. Chase had his 3rd birthday party on Saturday and Andrew and I were kinda on the fence about if we would make it or not ... all depending on Baby Rudy. Well, Baby Rudy behaved nicely and we were able to celebrate his big day! He has so many friends!! It's always so much fun when we get to visit with ABC^2. We all had fun watching Chase blow out his birthday candles, play with his friends, and open presents galore! He is definitely one loved little boy. He has so much personality ... we see both his mom and dad in him more and more as he gets older. I'm so glad we were able to visit with them one last time before our little one arrives. Now it's time to stay put in Matthews until our baby's birthday! But our visits will never end. :-)

We stayed the night at ABC^2 and then headed in to good ole Davie County to celebrate my Mom and Dad's birthdays. Dad decided he wanted to go out for dinner and we ended up at Logan's Steakhouse for a delicious meal. We then headed back to the house for presents and ice cream cake. YUMMY!! Mom also made a peach cobbler that I just had to have a bite of before we left to come home. What a bad idea ... it just makes me want more!!! She sent some home with us that Andrew polished off fairly quickly. I did manage one or two more bites before it disappeared.

Summers sure are crazy with all of the birthdays ... and we are just adding to the mix! Baby Rudy is doing great. I will be 36 weeks pregnant tomorrow and he/she is growing strong and kicking hard! I had my weekly appointment today and everything is looking awesome. His/her heart rate was good and strong at 152 and he/she is measuring at 37 weeks. We had a growth ultrasound at 33 weeks and he/she was already measuring around 5 lb 6 oz ... can we say healthy baby?? My goodness! We are just so excited to meet this new little person. I can honestly say that I will miss being pregnant. Some may not agree with that statement. Don't get me wrong ... I want him/her in my arms so badly. But I am going to miss the tiny hiccups, soft nudges, and super strong kicks!

I can't wait to post my Wordless Wednesday picture for tomorrow ... you should all get a good kick out of it!

Happy Birthday to all my family with summer birthdays! Much love!
