It's a Beautiful Day

What a busy, wonderful day today has been. Today was:

1. Keal's birthday

2. My last day of summer

3. Our 16 week checkup!

And while I am finally sitting down for what feels like the first time today, today has been the perfect end to summer and perfect way to celebrate my fabulous hubby and your awesome daddy.  

The day began with my mom and I heading to my school to make the finishing touches on my room before Open House tomorrow. From there, it was off to the mall for my mom to pick up Keal's gift. Next stop a craft store and finally lunch! It had been a whirlwind of a morning, but fun time spent with my mom.

Somewhere in the midst of our running, I had texted Keal, "If you're so slow today, you should ask off for your birthday. Come to the doctor with us!" Well when he didn't respond, I assumed work had picked back up and he couldn't get off. 

Together, my mom and I headed into our appointment. While in the waiting room, I had to make some financial decisions and wanted to run it by Keal first. So, I gave him a call, but got no answer. As I disappointedly put my phone away, I looked up to see Keal standing at my chair! He had been able to get off and join us at the appointment. What a great guy - surprising me on his birthday!

Today, we got to get another peek at you, and your "Zsu Zsu" got to "meet" and see you in person for the first time. I know you are constantly growing and changing every day, but seeing these changes on screen is always amazing to me. There you both were, just a wiggling and moving like crazy, all snuggled up next to each other. Today I even saw your adorable noses! You are now so big, that's it difficult to see you both at the same time. And to think, just a few weeks ago you weren't even an inch long!

From here, we said goodbye to Zsu Zsu and began the birthday festivities. First off, a scrumptious meal at a place Keal had been dying to try, Burgers and Mussels. From there, an early movie. And finally, we wrapped our evening up with pie to go (your father doesn't care for cake, so he always gets birthday pie instead) and enjoyed it on the back patio. 

Shew. I'm tired just retelling this exhaustingly, perfect day!
