This last weekend we decided to drive to Arizona for the weekend to visit Jeremey's family for my birthday, and to get out of the heat, and into .... some more intense heat. It was a blessed time. We had Red Lobster for my birthday, my favorite, and a mini celebration party with pies on Saturday. Despite being terribly sick all of Saturday, it is always a joy to hang out with such a big energy filled family of terribly cute babies, on the brink of teenage adolescents, and gracious brothers, sisters and parents. We Love being Aunts and Uncles, I really feel so Loved by all of them when they come running to squeeze and hug us, and ask us continuously to move to Arizona to live with them. They are the funniest, sweetest most beautiful kids in the world. Our 4 year nephew even sat on the bottom of his stairs for 2 hours with a juicebox waiting for us when he heard the news of us coming, he eventually gave up, and made us a whole bag of cookies instead. Thanks Micah! Here is a picture of the fam last year at thanksgiving, the little ones have grown up quite a bit since then.
I didn't even intend on writing all that, I guess I just realized how much I miss them. My birthday came with many fun gifts, many of which were for the baby. An amazing diaper bag, sent from Oregon, thanks mom and Steve, and then one of the neatest gift ideas I've seen thus far, a whole arrangement of baby shoes, but not just any. All the brands my husband wore growing up, which just so happen to be most of the brands I wore too, just in miniature size!!! Nikes, Adidas, All Stars, Converse and Vans, Jeremey's favorite!!! Woo Hoo. Here is a picture of a few pairs.
Someday I would Love to get a pair of Sanuks and Toms for our little one. I think those are the only brands I wear these days, just imagine how cute she would be in them! I already looked them up and fell in Love.
Overall it was time well spent. But now we are back in California ready to take on the FALL, best time of the year. Next up, 1 year anniversary, baby shower and mom comes to visit, Jeremey's birthday, thanksgiving, end of the semester craziness, OUR babies due date, and then Christmas, all back to back. It's going to be an eventful 3 months, keep praying. Our bundle of joy is doing well, she tumbles and keeps me up a lot, but it is so exciting. We got some blood test results back this morning, and turns out I AM anemic, with low vitamin potassium levels. So I'll start taking the needed medication for that soon, and hopefully that will help improve even the slightest bit of the faintness and dizziness issues. Sorry for such a random post. But thats the Wilsons for ya!!!
So excited for you... the fall is truly the best time of year (especially in your case). I would love to come visit you and see that belly of yours before it is gone! lol Lord willing we will be able to make it down soon. Oh and I was anemic as well... I just took floradix it really helped a lot, they sell it at sprouts you might want to check it out.
