Happy Sunday, my friends! I hope you've all had a nice weekend.
Mine has been just lovely - it was my birthday weekend! And my loved ones made sure it was fun, relaxing and filled with my favorite things. Here are just a few photos ...
First off, the "bump shot" as promised ...
Twenty weeks ~ taken at my Mum and Dad's house earlier today.
On Saturday Mum took me out to a local yarn store where I picked up this yummy yarn for a baby blanket ...
I am especially fond of that soft spring green (I have one more skein on order), and I'm thinking it will be this baby's "signature" shade. :)
On Saturday night, Bill took me out to dinner at our favorite restaurant where I very happily took advantage of eating for two ...
The lighting is very dark because it's a mostly candlelit restaurant. Lovely for atmosphere, awful for photos!
Before dinner we stopped in at a local baby store where we had tons of fun looking around and remembering all the little (and not so little) things the baby would need. We fell a little in love with this bedding:
We probably won't go with this exact set - I wasn't crazy about the texture - but we are definitely thinking of a "woodland" nursery theme with lots of soft green and brown. Much more to come on that in the spring. :)
And today, after a busy morning of Mass and CCD, we headed over to Mum and Dad's for a delicious lunch, including a luscious fudge-topped birthday cake ...
Fyi, I'm not worrying about calories at all this weekend. Not a one. I don't think birthday calories count, anyways. ;)
And then there were presents!
A lovely sweater from a dear family friend.
A sweet board book for the baby.
And a little something my dad picked out for me ...
The new Downton Abbey book! Such fun!
And speaking of DA, I'm going to try very hard to stay up to watch tonight but it's been a very busy weekend and I feel like I'm running on fumes. If I end up watching the episode, I will post "Masterpiece Monday" as early as I can tomorrow. If I end up konking out, the post will be up Tuesday for sure! That will give us one more day to digest. :)
Well my friends, thank you so much for stopping by and sharing in our fun! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and I will see you all again very soon!
