30th Birthday

My 30th birthday was filled with many events spread throughout the month of January, I am lucky to have such great friends and family to spend my birthday with. Having a birthday without drinking is only fun if you are with the people you love most!

My birthday began with dinner and a movie with Gloria and Angela the day before my real birthday. Then Bethany met me for dinner on the 19th since Jon had an evening work function to attend. Jon and I had dinner at Tuttabella and dessert at the Melting pot (two of my favorite places). The following weekend my mom came to visit and helped clean/ prepare the nursery for painting and took me birthday shopping. She even sewed curtains for the nursery while Jon and I went to his work Holiday Party, what a great mom! The birthday festivities ended with dinner and quality hang out time with Nichole, Kristin, Bethany, and Katie! Enjoy the birthday pics.....I was shocked at how large I looked in these pictures and made my friends pose multiple times in hopes of fixing it (it didn't work).

6 months down, 4 to go! Baby Annett is moving lots these days and hopefully Jon will be able to feel her soon. I am looking forward to a visit from my mom next weekend, she will be helping me get stuff done for the baby nursery. Here is a picture of the crib set we ordered, isn't it cute!!

My first baby purchase! I'm not sure why it took me so long to buy something for the baby, but these cute newborn tops were irresistible. Jon doesn't think she will ever fit in them as they are so tiny, but I'm pretty sure she will.

We went to another doctors appointment together this past Friday and everything went great. The baby's heart rate was a healthy 160, my weight gain is right on track and my blood pressure is good. Jon was very excited to hear that our doctor doesn't necessarily recommend taking birthing classes, so he is very happy that we have decided not to attend. My next appointment includes the glucose screening test. This means I get to drink a very disgusting sugary drink on an empty stomach then give blood to test for diabetic tendencies, doesn't that sound fun?

Jon and I are currently working on narrowing down baby names and baby bedding, so hopefully we will have decided both soon.....

I have also attached a few pictures from Christmas spent with our fabulous families in Vancouver and Arizona.
