I have two nieces that are having babies the same time I am. Nicci Trapp is due on Sept. 3rd. Justine is due on Sept. 3rd...which is also her birthday. and I am due Sept. 2nd. Today Justine found out that she is having another boy!!! I am excited for her and her husband!! They have a baby boy that turned one in December named Maddox. He's so stinkin cute!
So, a few days ago, I decided that for my birthday I wanted to go to chicago to get a 3D ultrasound and find out the gender. With the 3D ones you can find out the gender much sooner and I'm to that point now. We found great train tickets to Chicago for next to nothing and the ultrasound in Chicago was only $39 for a gender check. Thought I could eat at some of my fave spots while there. Oh! And the Chicago St. Patrick's Day celebration is that weekend (mar. 12-14) where they dye the river green and have the big parade and other cool stuff. Then fear set in. What if we did all that and we got up there, I would be in the dumps all weekend and ruin my birthday weekend, because I'm sure they will tell me it is another boy. And while I'm expecting it.....it's always hard to hear it confirmed....at first. With Cullen, I couldn't talk about it for about a week or so. I cried every time I did. So, we decided to nix that idea and just go with my regular 20 week ultrasound. And celebrate my birthday here where there is a whole lot of nothing. Joy.
Tonight, I am going to be making potato soup for my niece, Liesl, and her fiance, Jack. Also, my brother Mike and SIL Maxine. Liesl is getting married on April 10th and they asked me to do the food! Awesome! They want bread bowls with potato soup and shrimp cream puffs!
So, that's what we're doing!
