On Thursday I turned the big 28! Paul and I went to a movie and then dinner after work and then finished getting our tent trailer ready for our first camping trip of the season. Friday after work we headed up to Rockport with some of Paul's fam. We were greeted with some rainy weather but set up camp and hoped for the best. Our heater wouldn't work so Knuckles and I had to cuddle to stay warm!On Saturday there were a few hours of sun! We played "redneck horseshoes," roasted some dawgs and enjoyed the weather while we could! The guys went fishing for a few hours and actually came back with some fish! Art also cooked in his awesome apron that we got him for Christmas! (it says, "I turn grills on!")
Then the rain came back and we chopped up veggies and such in the camper and Katelyn tried to keep Knuckles warm. We were going to have a big birthday BBQ-Katelyn and Paul even got me a monkey pinata!! But the storm rolled in and we all hurried and ate and headed back in our trailers to bundle up! I still enjoyed the left over pinata candy... we munched on treats and played games until we fell asleep to the sounds of the rain.
In the middle of the night, Katelyn wandered out to the bathroom and upon her return, she got caught in a snow storm!! The flakes were huge and soggy! Needles to say, we left the next morning (a day early) because it just wasn't fun anymore. Our tootsies were wet, our fingers were cold and we just decided to pack up and try again in better weather.
We hurried and packed up in the rain, struggling not to get our feet too wet in the deep puddles. Paul's Uncle made a big breakfast for us all to enjoy before we headed out. I decided to put Knuckles in the truck so he wouldn't get soaked as we ate. I wasn't feeling too well and wandered back to the truck a few minutes early to find Knuckles covered in a white foam and this white substance all over the inside of the truck door. I thought maybe he was sick or foaming at the mouth... then it dawned on me. I shut the truck door and took a deep breath. Paul had placed my untouched--not even one bite taken--BIRTHDAY CAKE on the back seat. Knuckles and been bouncing around looking out the windows waiting for us and he stomped my birthday cake...to death!! Katelyn brought it up on Saturday and we didn't even cut into it because of the weather. There was frosting chunks scattered on all of the seats and strawberries gushing between Knuckle's toes and smeared into everything. Oh well, we just tossed it into the dumpster and agreed it was total tragedy. I still had a wonderful Birthday and appreciate all of the thought that went into it!! :P

Fully Committed!
32 Weeks 5 Days Prego! That Leaves 51 days until the baby is here. Paul and I are fully committed to the name Henry- it just feels right! Plus we crafted his name with wooden blocks, so there's no turning back now!!
Henry's room is pretty much ready. My mom and BFF, Kreesh, will be in town next week and get to check it out. I am super excited to see my peeps!I feel like there is probably more to do and prepare, but what? Paul and I signed up for a birthing class at the end of June. I don't think about the actual birthing of Henry too much because it freaks me out. I can't wait to meet him and hold him; but the pushing and the ickyness makes me nervous! I have mentally blocked that portion for now and it's keeping my anxieties down till the time comes.
I sit here and ponder what will he look like? Will he have light or dark hair? Will it be coarse like his dad's and we'll have to buy industrial hair gel? Or will it be wavy like mine so we'll keep it short? I think about his first Halloween costume, first Christmas... I don't want to go too overboard with gifts as he'll probably be equally entertained with the bow vs the toy. I wonder if Knuckles will lick his face or want to nibble on him? I wonder how Paul and I will handle little sleep and sharing responsibilities. Oh and one of the big, burning questions: will we ever decide on a middle name?! So many thoughts and 51 more days until some of them can start being answered!!!
