Rainy Saturday

It is so nice to have a slow day today. It is raining outside and expected to continue to rain for the rest of the day. We have been lounging around reading, watching cartoons, and snacking. Got to love it.

Yesterday was especially busy, the first part of the day (leaving home at 6:15am) spent in Huntsville. We had T-Pup's thyroid level checked and also my OB checkup. We were able to hear the baby's heartbeat, and it was 160. When I was 3 months pregnant with T-Pup his heart rate was 140. Hmmm... a girl possibly? I think it's just a wive's tale that girl's heart rates are faster, but who knows. We'll have our next ultrasound on June 7 to find out the sex. We'll tell that, but the name will be a surprise when it arrives. Anyway, after that we met up with the DeVries family for a few hours at the food court around the play yard. It was fun and refreshing to just be with them.

After we came back to P-town, we showered and got dressed for an evening out. W's parents came and picked Thomas up and shortly thereafter my dear friend Kara arrived with her Beau (that we had not yet met). We drove to Franklin and ate dinner at PF Chang's. It was my first time to eat there, and may I say, WOW! It was so good. The lettuce wraps were all that everyone made them out to be. I had doubts (being the picky eater I am) but it was sooo amazing. For my en tree I had lemon chicken with broccoli, and it also was top notch. Matt (Kara's beau) ordered us coconut ice cream w/raspberry sauce for desert.... and once again, amazing. We went to Starbuck's for just a bit to get coffee and wrap up our time together. It was so much fun and nice to have an evening out. By the time we were on our way back though W and I both were chomping at the bit to pick T-Pup up.

It was a little much to pack all into one day, but it was a good day. I think that is why I'm enjoying today so much :)

As for now, I'm heading back to the couch to read some more of "The Confession" by Beverly Lewis.
