Birthday in Bed

Today is my birthday.  Normally I would be excited and looking forward to a month of celebration (I happen to celebrate my birthday for a month.  I recommend you do it too!).  But, since I can't really go anywhere for a while, here's a list of the things I wish I could be doing instead:

1.  Getting a fantastic massage, then a manicure and pedicure so I can be relaxed, refreshed, and feel great about my freshly painted toes.

2.  Having a mini-vacation at the beach, enjoying the cool breeze and warm sun, while sipping on a fun fruity drink (the virgin version of course).

3.  Going on a fun shopping trip, picking up a cute dress.

4.  Trying my luck at the tables in Vegas, and staying at a fabulous hotel.

5.  Watching and listening to a fun summer concert.

6.  Spending time with my family and friends, and maybe repeating the craziness of last year's birthday!

7.  Enjoying a romantic dinner with my amazing hubby, complete with a sparkling drink and a decadent dessert.

I think this would be a month well-spent.  A girl can dream, yes?

Addison's Baby Room

We've been working on the baby's room and still have a couple of finishing touches to make.  Here are some pictures of how it looks so far.  Enjoy!

Couch Adventures - An Intro

Starting at 33 weeks, my doctor became more concerned about my high blood pressure.  At first we thought of it as "White Coat Syndrome" because of my anxiety of stepping foot into any doctor's office.  After running several tests, I was prescribed complete bed rest at 34 weeks, having been diagnosed with either pre-eclampsia or chronic hypertension.  In any case, baby Addison will most likely make an appearance sooner, rather than later, as they are now planning to induce me at 37 or 38 weeks....YIKES!

And so, my couch adventures begin.
