Birthday Weekend

First things first:  #1 - Yes, I am still pregnant.  I know you are all wondering but I currently don't have any signs of labor so we're still playing the waiting game.  Our next appointment is Friday and I'll be 1 week over at that point so I'll let you know more at that time.

#2 - Last weekend was my birthday (and due date) and I want to send out a thank you to all those who helped make it special for me... especially my wonderful husband.  Yes, we were able to go get those pedicures and if my feet weren't swollen, I'd show you a picture of how cute the design looks!  Thanks also to Eric for buying me a great Korean cookbook, taking me out to eat to a few of my favorite places, and for letting me buy a new pair of cute shoes, to Eric's parents for sending it to us (as well as giving us all birthday money to spend during the summer), to Laura for sending a cute Montana t-shirt (that I'm sure I'll be able to wear someday, post-pregnancy!), to Corrie for dropping off some Birthday brownies, and to many more people who said or wrote birthday greetings.  Thank You!!!

I suppose our Birthday festivities started off last Thursday when Emma suddenly had a fascination/obsession with a box of yellow cake mix that we had.  She wouldn't put it down, kept saying "bite" and then tried to eat the picture of the cupcake on the front.  So... that day we make cupcakes!  It wasn't really supposed to be for me (actually, we made blue frosting in honor of baby boy's birthday that was supposed to be coming soon).  But we sure had fun making them and made more than one mess.

 Then on Friday we had a doctor's appointment in Seoul.  It was a little disappointing since the Dr. told me that nothing had changed since the last week.  :(  But then Eric took Emma and I out to a great restaurant in Seoul that we hardly ever get to go to, "On The Border."  It was SO good!  And we had a great time doing something fun and out of the ordinary as a family.

 Emma just had to help me wipe my hands off before eating.

 Yep, there I am!  Or should I say, there WE are!  Ready to pop!

 Then on Saturday we went to a school volleyball game.  Emma enjoyed being around the people as always (me too!).  And she was also really into the game...

 and the water puddles outside...

and her best bud, Isaac!  :)

The rest of the weekend didn't go so well, as we found out that Emma was coming down with some sort of virus (Hand, Foot, & Mouth disease?) so we had to stay home.  And we've been sticking close to home all this week, too.  I guess it's a good thing I'm not in labor yet since we need to keep her away from other kids for a few more days.  Pray for us in this time of waiting!  And again, thank you for helping make my birthday special.
