So last year on my birthday was Michaels first day of school. I was new to Memphis
and didn’t know a soul and needed a job, so I just searched for jobs alone at
home until dinner time when Michael came home, definitely a sad birthday day. (We
did celebrate with family before we moved so that was fun) So this year my
birthday on Saturday; which meant Michael was home all day! And actually is
home all week, since he just finished his Mini Term! So Friday we went out to
eat and to a cheesecake place. I decided I wanted to try something new so we
went to a Vietnamese place... not knowing anything about Vietnamese food. I
think we ordered the wrong thing. It wasn’t bad but it was like Chinese food
and Michael got a curry but it was bland compared to Thai food. I asked a
couple of people on the way out and got some ideas of what to order for next
time. It was still fun though
The cheese cake place was really why I am blogging about my
birthday! It’s called the Cheesecake Corner and oh my goodness was it delicious.
They just sell cheesecakes all different flavors:
I got a Raspberry White chocolate and Michael got a Carmel White chocolate
It was pretty expensive but very good; I think we will have to wait a year
to go back :)
On the day of my birthday the SCO gang wanted to have a pool party to
celebrate the end of the summer term and to swim in the pool before it closed
for the year. It rained most of the day but when it came time to go over it was
a nice day still in the 80s.
We all brought something to eat and just hung out, played volleyball then
headed to the pool! They made me cupcakes and sang me happy birthday! A good
day for sure :)
Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes! I had a good couple of days to celebrate. :)
Its Traces old swim suit so its 3-6 months but it worked for
a day. And he looks so dang cute in it! ha ha
So this is a picture of all the girls who had babies this year (so far) it’s
in order of the babies births.
Sam and Paul are first, he was born on the 2nd of April. She lives right by
us here in midtown and I have really loved hanging out with her. We've been
hanging out lately while our husbands are in school. She is really fun and I
think we have a lot in common. She has been my outlet of being cooped up all
day! I am really grateful for her and love having her as a friend!
Next is Kelsey and Daxton, he was born on the 2nd of May. He was 16 days
early and weighed 8lbs 9 oz.; the same as his older brother Tacen! And this
girl did it without an epidural!! She is seriously the most active girl I know,
she is always doing something fun! Her house is decorated so beautifully and
she made a lot of the decorations! She is always doing some fun crafts and is
an amazing photographer! We had a lot of fun Craft days with her when we were
all pregnant. She did a Baby shower for me and it was so cute, and I had so
much fun.
Next is Jen and Mickinley, she was born on the 26th of May. She was born 1
hour after she would be considered not a premie (so at 37 weeks). She has
another little girl named Madison (who she is just adorable) and she was a premie
(born at 31 weeks I think...) Jen is so tough, she has had rough pregnancies
and dealt with both babies in the hospital, and has been so positive about it.
She talked to me a lot when Brit had her baby early. And she also delivered
Mickinley without an epidural. She is an amazing mom; I told Michael the other
day I think Jen is Fearless!
Then Me and Brock, born on the 4th of July
So we all of our babies are about one month apart down the line. It’s been a
great blessing to me because all of these ladies have been so helpful, giving
me advice and helping me out with Brock (and my pregnancy). I needed to be the
last to have a baby, so I could have the most help!
