Tuesday, St. Patrick’s Day, was my 32nd birthday. We spend a quiet day at home recovering from our trip. Stephen and I just got back from a couple’s getaway in Portland, Oregon, while the boys were graciously taken care of by friends.

Silas desperately wanted to buy me a birthday cake and kept asking questions throughout the day like, “Why is it your birthday?” He made me a beautiful card with a picture of me in a princess suit and Batman next to me. Inside, he copied my letters to write out “Happy Birthday Mom.”

It was sweet to open my cards and presents from family, and what a special time it was to be reunited with my boys and enjoy Stephen’s day off.

Since this is my first birthday with a huge baby bump, I thought I’d get some pictures. (Full disclosure: the only reason I did my hair and make-up was to take these pictures.) Baby Girl is 27 weeks along, and we are now officially in the 6th month and 3rd trimester. Birthdays with these cabbage heads are the best!
