<\/a>\u00a0<\/div>\n
Breakfast in bed.\u00a0 A rare indulgence to get McDonalds.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a>\u00a0<\/div>\n
Opened birthday presents.\u00a0 Love the crafting supplies, cards, and sweater. Do you see those sheets?\u00a0 That’s part of my big present from Ben.\u00a0 We went shopping for a QUEEN SIZED bed!\u00a0 I’ve been wanting one ever since we left our tiny apartment in Boulder.\u00a0 Finally now with two employed adults and a growing belly, we’re making the upgrade from our cramped full sized bed.\u00a0 It’s really the best present I could imagine getting this year!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We had lunch at Panera Bread.\u00a0 Sure, not very fancy.\u00a0 But there aren’t any locations in our neighborhood, so it’s special to go there.\u00a0 Plus my favorite sandwich, the Bacon Turkey Bravo, is a double no-no for pregnancy.\u00a0 I do my best to avoid bacon (nitrates) and cold deli meats (listeria). But hey, it’s my birthday!\u00a0 One little sandwich can’t do much harm.\u00a0 Totally worth it.\u00a0 <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a>\u00a0<\/div>\n
Picked out cupcakes for later.\u00a0 After my cupcake tour of Denver<\/a> I knew the best place – Lovely Confections<\/a>! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a>\u00a0<\/div>\n
Bought some darling fabric at my favorite craft store<\/a>.\u00a0 I squeezed a lot of yarn wistfully.\u00a0 Ben wisely reminded me of all the beautiful skeins in my basket at home.\u00a0 But it’s hard to resist beautiful yarn when you have spending money in your pocket!\u00a0 Some other time . . .<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Afternoon snack at Sweet Action<\/a>!\u00a0 They even had my all time favorite ice cream flavor, Mint Chocolate Chip.\u00a0 Ben is having Banana Reese’s Pieces.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Then home for a while to start a knitting project (because 2 knit works-in-progress isn’t enough) and baby blanket with the flannel I bought.\u00a0 Amanda came over and we talked choreography until my other friends arrived.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/a>\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n
We ordered cheesesteaks<\/a>, french fries with cheese whiz dipping sauce, chips and soda, and of course the cupcakes!\u00a0 It was a delicious feast, and a nice change from our usual pizza party. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Miranda<\/a> surprised me with this gorgeous beret that I had seen her working on.\u00a0 It’s perfect for me and so finely knit! (BTW, if you haven’t seen the play kitchen<\/a> that she made her daughter, click that link straightway and look in amazement!)<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Amanda found some great stamps and paper for my crafting supply.\u00a0 We laughed that we bought each other stamps for our recent birthdays.\u00a0 As an early nursery gift she found a beautiful pop-up book of The Little Prince. We were talking about using the color palette from that book for the nursery, and maybe some stars and moon imagery.\u00a0 We already have the book in two English editions and a French.\u00a0 Now we have this glorious illustrated version too!\u00a0 Our kid will not be allowed to touch it until 2nd grade.\u00a0 It’s too nice of a book!<\/p>\n

Thank you to all my friends and family who called and visited and pitched in to make my day really really great.\u00a0 I love you all!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
