Aubrey’s birthday isn’t til next weekend, but since we are going out of town, we’re having her party this Sunday. I can’t wait! I’m mostly excited about putting a cute little party hat on her and watching her dig into her personal little cake, fashioned by the very talented Abbi Z. I love having a reason to have people over, and this is a very special one. A year ago today, I was so swollen that I could barely wear flip flops, my back hurt constantly and I was cleaning everything from the blinds to the dog. I have to say, I HATED being pregnant and would be perfectly happy to never go through that again, but it was totally worth it. Miss Kat is my greatest accomplishment and she has been a joy in my life. She makes me want to be a better person, and to make her world wonderful and safe. I hope to see you all at her party this weekend. Whatever you do this weekend, have fun, wear sunscreen, and be nice!

“A year ago today, I was so swollen that I could barely wear flip flops, my back hurt constantly and I was cleaning everything from the blinds to the dog.” You may have been miserable, but you certainly didn’t show it! I was thinking the other day about us going to lunch just a few days before Aubrey was born. You had this perfect little basketball and looked like you had barely gained any weight! I was always amazed by how stylish you looked during what had to be a very hot and uncomfortable summer pregnancy. It may have been tough, but you looked great doing it!
