Early Birthday Celebration!

So I was having a rather blah day.  Sitting around waiting.  I wrote a blog post about it earlier, you can read it if you want to.  Pern came home from his skating lesson and we went to Costco to buy Halloween candy and tissues (not related to each other) and he said I was looking so "festive" in my orange sweater that he wanted to take a picture when we got home.  "Festive" means, "you look like you're smuggling a pumpkin under your shirt."  Yes.  I know.

So we got home and he pulled out a camera and we went upstairs to take what I hope is my last belly picture.  Only... what's that in the kitchen?  Oh!  It's a card with my name on it (actually it said "London's Mommy" :D  ...

...and it's a... What!  A present for me??!!

It's a new phone!!

Happy Early Birthday to me!  

Then I read my card and had to laugh...

Pern's rationale is that I might need an extra pair with the baby coming.  Ha ha.  :)  Now we're going out to dinner.  I get to have a "real" birthday before the baby comes and steals the show!  I see a piece of cheesecake in my future.  Yum!  

We went up to London's room to take the "almost 40 weeks" belly picture (please let this be the last one!!!).  While we were up there...

...Winnie the Pooh asked, "When are you coming out, London?"  Wouldn't we all like to know?

I also realized that we never posted a picture of the last thing we did to the room.  We got the animals from Keturah at my baby shower in August and I'd been wanting to put them up on a little shelf until London is old enough to play with them.  Even though we hadn't been planning to put his name up on the wall, the shelf just looked a little naked without it.  So now, it's official:  we are done!!
