My 31st was Friday. I had a nice, lazy day. Started out with getting my hair done. Headed home to take a nap, while Ethan did. Did very little all day-- just what I love! :) That night, Mom and Dad took us out to dinner, my pick, at the Olive Garden. SO good! Not Ronnie's favorite, but he sacrificed for my enjoyment. Right before we left for dinner, Ronnie surprised me with a Publix cake and ice cream. Yum- I love their cakes. Then, at dinner, Mom said he had made me a caramel cake!! Yum-yum! So much cake, so little time:) And, one more surprise, Saturday morning, I had a Cheesecake Factory cheesecake delivered to my door, which came from my buddy, Jamie, from Charlotte. She has SO spoiled me, making this the 3rd or 4th year she's sent me one for my b-day. Thank you all for the cakes!!! But, oh how fat I will be!!! :) Think they all know sweets are my favorite???
Saturday was another very lazy day for the four of us. After picking up the boys from Mom and Dad, where they had spent the night before, for a treat for Mommy on her b-day of sleeping in the next day, we stopped by and rented movies on the way home. It was a very cold day with windshield temps. in the 20's. So, Ronnie built us a fire, and we enjoyed movies. Jacob, with 2 in his room, Ethan watching Mickey Mouse re-runs in our room, and Ronnie and I trying to watch movies in the den with many interruptions. What were we thinking trying to watch movies while they were awake! Still we all enjoyed time together, despite the touch of cabin fever from the boys.
And, today we headed to church like every Sunday. We've just recently been moved from keeping 2-year-olds to keeping walkers/1-year-olds, at 11am. This is Ethan's age group, but he's in the younger group across the hall. Didn't work well keeping him with us last week, as he wanted me to hold him the entire time, not sharing me with the other 9 kiddos. That little 2 hour break is good for us every Sunday, and he loves his teachers. The 9 we kept today were so sweet, and I have to admit, I was partial to the little girls in their precious dresses. One little girl even had a Vera Bradley purse to match her outfit!!! I told Ronnie, if this baby is a little girl, she will be so be frilled up like this little girl was. So cute!
We have two appts. tomorrow, one with the specialist, and one with our regular OB. The specialist appt. is actually for an ultrasound for some testing we chose to have. They offer these tests to everyone now, and this test is the nuchal translucency screening-- here's a link about it: http://www.babycenter.com/0_nuchal-translucency-screening_118.bc. This is what was found on Ethan early on, which miraculously went away before birth. Please pray for good results for this little one. Our OB appt. is just a quick check-up, where I think we'll get to hear the heartbeat, and I'll also have blood drawn again to test the antibody! I'll update afterwards. Thanks for your prayers!
Well, both boys were napping when I started this post. Now, both are awake. Better run!

Glad you had a nice birthday. It sounds to me like you need to share some of that cake! Espeically the carmel and cheesecake! I had nursery yesterday too and kept the "babies." I was by myself with 2 of them, not sure their age but too young to sit on their own. So cute! I held one to feed a bottle and when he was done, I rocked the other one to sleep. I have major baby-fever now!
