Dax turns 30!

We celebrated Dax's birthday on Saturday at one of his favorite restaurants, Cantina Laredo. It was a surprise birthday party a couple of days early so Dax didn't have a clue what was planned for him. Our friends decorated the restaurant and table and waited for us to arrive. Dax was a good sport and wore all the obnoxious "30th" birthday gear. We finished the night at our house with good music, drinks and games. Oh, and of course since it was for Dax, a chocolate chip cookie cake. All in all it was a fun night-even Leyla was on her best behavior. Once again, we are reminded of what great friends we have here in Florida.

As requested by many of you, I will try to post a picture so you can see my growing belly. I feel huge most days but try to remind myself, this is only the beginning. Any non-maternity clothes are pretty much out of the question at this point. I sometimes forget that I can't bend very far at the waist anymore. Just the other day, I was on the floor and cleaning out a cupboard in my classroom at school when a bug crawled out. I screamed (of course) and tried to get up, only I couldn't bend forward...I was stuck on the floor with this stupid bug crawling closer to me. Finally, I kicked my legs out in front of me and pushed back, rolled over and got up. Geez, I had no idea it would ever take me that long just to get up from the floor!!! Dax has been super helpful around the house and while doing chores. I'm trying to be mindful of every move I make. Since I am surrounded by miniature short furniture (and people, lol) daily, and it puts a lot of strain on your back. Needless to say, Dax has been great so far.

That's all for now! Our next appointment is not for a few more weeks. But we will continue to try and update each week.
