As soon as I peeked my head into Mackenzie's room the morning of April
16th, she burst into the cheerful birthday song followed by sweet
birthday hugs and kisses and then began the interrogation about which
kind of cake I'd be picking for my big day. Mike had to work the
previous night so he spent a good chunk of the day asleep and when he
woke up, I had to head off to my final OB appointment but when I got
home, I was showered with chocolates and take out dinner. My mom came
for dessert ( what Mike called "Death by chocolate " cake. I laugh in
the face of this. My fortitude for chocolate is far greater than any one
can know) and it was just a nicely quiet day.
Of course, Mike isn't one
to scrimp on a birthday so the next day my real birthday present was
revealed: dinner in downtown Denver at Le Chateau for my first fondu experience followed
by tickets to the theater for a show that's been on my " must see" list for a long time ,
Wicked! We had a great time and , though my ankles had disappeared by
the end of the night, Mike couldn't have thought of a better treat for
me and it was the perfect " last night out" before Mason's arrival (
Mike even thought to get my seat on the aisle for maximum belly comfort
and ease of access to the facilities! ). Of course, the night was
possible because my mom and Mack had a date night in - thanks Mom! 31
will certainly be an exciting year for me.
