What a crazy week this has been! I have been cooking up a storm in the kitchen and celebrating my birthday here and there. I like to celebrate for a few days...but who doesn't?
I have been craving "man foods" lately. Which is unusual because I normally get teased because I eat "rabbit food". I made a DELICIOUS hamburger with a twisted lemon flavor and smothered it with baked sweet potato curls and roasted beets.
For my birthday, Nate surprised me with my first ultrasound. We went to a place in Fort Myers called Sweet Baby O'Mine and it was a really special experience. Baby V was pretty shy and kept sitting "criss-sross-applesauce" which made me super anxious. I had to keep wiggling and shaking, but I guess my belly is just to comfy. After our time was up, I thought we were getting kicked out with no gender reveal. Instead, they were SUPER nice and sent me to get some food and juice and hopefully Baby V would be energetic and start to move.
We went to Jason's Deli, not my ideal birthday dinner but it was still yummy, and I also an al natural orange juice to get some sugar in my system. After dinner, we went back to the place and I danced around until I was let back in. As soon as I sat back down and she started the machine, she blurted..."Oh look! It's a boy!"
A smile tore across my face as our future was revealed to us! What an amazing experience!
We went home and I was met with a house full of family and friends to surprise me for my birthday, a last minute plan that wound up super delayed because Baby V was a shy one. I couldn't keep the secret, I walked in and proclaimed..."It's a BOY!!!"
We were going to keep it a secret...but me + secrets = failure :)
(Ironically, our running group is called The =Speedsters=, so this outfit was completely perfect! Thanks to my little sister-in-law)
The next night, we went out and bought our very first outfit for Baby V
