Two Blissful Years (and a pregnancy update)

Yesterday was our two year anniversary!  We both almost forgot about it.  Neither one of us had time to plan anything or even buy any presents, so we just enjoyed dinner at home together and rode the scooter up to Target for some ice cream.

 On the scooter

I know I probably shouldn't be riding the scooter while pregnant but the traffic moves very slowly here so it's not scary at all to me.  We saw so many pregnant ladies in Asia riding motorbikes that it seems normal to us.  The only thing that bothered me was going over the bumpy parts of the road... it felt like the baby was bouncing up and down on my bladder... very uncomfortable.  So I may be done riding the scooter for now!

There aren't really any updates about the pregnancy except that everything is going GREAT.  No gestational diabetes, thyroid is normal, blood pressure is great, etc.  I've been getting lots of exercise and eating my vegetables.  My feet always need a massage at the end of the day and thanks to John I always get one.  Getting enough sleep at night has been the biggest struggle but now that I have figured out how to get comfortable (thanks to a body pillow!) my sleep has been much better.  John is already such a great dad and the baby hasn't even been born yet.  We are excited for our baby!!   

Birthday Haircut

Before

After

This year I wanted to keep my birthday a secret.  Mostly because John had a HUGE birthday party two weeks ago and it WORE ME OUT.  So I didn't tell anyone here that it was my b-day and I just took the day off from babysitting and relaxed and enjoyed my birthday secret just between John and I!  It was wonderful.  My one birthday wish this year was to get a haircut.  I honestly could not live with my long hair a minute longer.  I saved it in a ziplock bag to donate.  Even though I am so happy to have it off my head, I have had a hard time parting with that dead ponytail.  It is 12 inches long!  I need to hurry and send it in the mail before it's too late.  Anyway, John thinks I look like a different person and keeps thinking that there is a stranger in his house!!  Hopefully he will get used to it.  I love my new hair.  It was by far the most I'd ever paid for a haircut and so far it has been worth it.  

He also brought home a peach pie for me (my favorite!) and tickets to Billy Elliot (a Broadway musical we've been wanting to see) for later this month.  I'm so blessed to have such a great man in my life!
