Last Wednesday (the 25th) was my birthday. Husband tried to surprise me by taking me to Tucanos after I got out of my evening class, but he's not as sneaky as he tried to be. Even though I figured it out, it was still delicious. Don't worry, I made sure that all the meat I ate was very well-done.

On Friday we had a few friends over for dinner and a movie. Remember Peter and Ruth? They cooked again - lemon garlic chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, jello salad, lemon apple cream pie...yum. Carli and Pat came, too, and Carli (who is also my Visiting Teacher) brought me this adorable onesie in size 3-6 months. She was sad that we don't know what we're having yet because that meant she had to shop in the gender-neutral section and she loves the gender-specific clothes! :)

Speaking of that, I went to the doctor this morning. I'm measuring right on track at 18 weeks. The heartbeat is still strong and steady (thank goodness). The ultrasound is in a couple of weeks.

Last week I finally got some maternity clothes - they are SO much more comfortable! Most of my shirts are still fine, but I've been using the rubberband-around-the-button trick for quite a while and it was getting ridiculous. Yay for stretch-panel jeans! I borrowed two pairs of pants, one dress, and several shirts from my friend Brittany, and bought a couple of pairs of pants of my own.

Other than all of that, it's just life as normal around here. School gets out in a few weeks. I'm ready to be done with these classes. I'm taking two classes in the spring, as well. Should be fun...
