Girls, girls, girls

Last night I went out with some of my favorite people in the world. As soon as Chad got home I left Micah with him and headed out to a fun girls night! I even left a bit early to get in some shopping without a nagging child. Val, Debbie, Al and Carrie all met me at Cheesecake Factory for what we said would just be dessert. Well, everyone came with different appetites (and two of us are pregnant), so it was a whatever goes type of meal. The food was great, but the company was much better. Once again, I am sure we were loud and obnoxious, but we had a blast. We got there at 7 pm and didn't leave until 10:30 pm. I am sure our waitress hated us for taking the table for the whole night. It doesn't matter though we just had so much fun talking about the good ol' days. Val and I even were lame enough to sing the song for the Itty Bitty Titty Club which we belonged to back when we were sophomores in high school. I graduated from that club! I swear we had no shame. If anyone would like the lyrics, I am happy to pass them on. I think it might help with the growth process! Anyways, it was such a fun night and I always hate to say goodbye because they seem like they are a once a year type of event.


On a side note, I got home about 10:45ish and I was talking to Chad and realized that Micah was still talking in his room. I asked Chad what the deal was and he said he put him down around 10, which is pretty late for him, but for some reason he was still awake. I thought I would go in and give him a kiss and say goodnight. Hello, the kid wasn't just awake, he was wired! From that point on in the night, I tried laying next to his bed, giving him milk, bringing him in bed with us and finally I just put him to be and he whined for about another 20 minutes! It was close to midnight by then! I was wrecked and he still woke up at 7:30 am. Come to find out, Chad had given him quite a bit of sugar for dinner. If it says frosted before the name of the cereal, it is going to keep him up all night!

Well, today I went into my OB to have an ultrasound screening. It was so fun to see our little girl and yes, they checked again and it is still a little girl. Actually, I had to roll from one side to the other just so they could see since she had her ankles crossed. She's so modest! Anyways, she was checked from top to bottom and everything looked great from her brain to her heart to her toes. I even got a profile shot and got to see her nose and mouth. I will see if I can scan it and post it. I am just happy that she is healthy. I was kind of worried because I was so sick with her and I wasn't able to take my prenatal vitamins. With all the nightmares I was having I was hoping that none of them would come true! On the down side (for me at least) all the measurements are showing me to be a week behind, so she gave me a new due date of May 20th. I have to be pregnant a week longer, but I have a feeling this one will come early. Oh well! What was funny is that the ultrasound tech asked us what we were going to name her and we still don't have a name written in stone. I think we will end up with four or five names that we have in mind at the hospital and decide after we see her which name fits her best. Chad's front runner as always is still Chelsea Brynn. I am leaning towards Brooklyn Kate. We have a couple more names in our hat too, so we will just have to wait and see I guess!

P.S. If you want to see my new haircut, Val took a picture last night and should post it on her blog soon!
