Today we celebrated Jesse's 33rd birthday! He was pleasantly surprised with a X box 360 which he had originally asked for for Christmas! His dad bought the system, and I bought him a game, and my dad bought him a bunch of accessories and a couple of games. We played for over 3 hours today, and he is playing a new game right now! It was the perfect gift. This past Friday Jesse and I celebrated his birthday at one of our favorite restaurants, "Diamond Knot Brewery." He had a peppercorn steak along with his favorite brown ale, and I had a southwestern chicken salad with water. I enjoyed a flourless chocolate cake dessert afterwards but Jesse passed on it (I wonder how it feels to not have a sweet tooth ?). Tonight we went out again for a birthday dinner at PF Chang's with Jesse's dad. Unfortunately the service was awful, and our meal took about three times as long as it should have. We did get most of the bill comped though, and dessert was on the house. Once again Jesse passed. I think it is because sugar candy was not on the menu :). So needless to say, I think that Jesse has had a very nice birthday!
I almost forgot to mention Thanksgiving. We celebrated this year at Jesse's dad's house. He had 5 friends over that Jesse and I had not previously met. Everyone was very nice and easy to get along with, and we had a great time! This year's menu consisted of stuffing, green beans, wheat and cinnamon bread, chicken and noodles, mashed potatoes, broccoli salad, pecan pie, strawberry rhubarb pie, and of coarse the bird. YUM!
I am feeling pretty well. The fatigue is starting to set in a little bit which is to be expected as I approach the 3rd trimester. I have outgrown some of my maternity clothes, but fortunately we have some good friends who have been generous enough to give me some maternity clothes (which were no longer needed from previous pregnancies), and some baby clothes and accessories! We are very grateful. I have also been feeling more movement. Now he will kick and punch at the same time, and his sleep wake cycles are becoming more predictable!
Anyway, I think that about sums it up for now. We hope that everyone has a nice week back at work!

Happy Birthday, Jesse! You share your birthday with Caytie, who turned 16 yesterday! Since I already bought her a car, we went to Barnes and Noble and bought out the art supply section, with a Japanese language workbook and a manga guide thrown in for good measure. Caytie is VERY talented and quite a fan of Anime'. I convinced her to take Japanese in High School so she can travel to Japan and become a Manga rock star!! Dont' forget you guys owe me an address list, I'm getting excited about Paul's party, but I can't do much until I know the who, where and how manys? xoxox Aunt Tracey
