Birthday weekend



Last weekend I got to celebrate my 23rd birthday at 34 almost 35 weeks pregnant. I woke up to coffee in bed shortly after followed by a few hours of morning sickness...wahoo! Carsey came in and asked me " Why are you popping out of your mouth mama? (Coffee) and then quickly interrupted my response asking if I needed him to pour the bowl into the potty. I hadn't had morning sickness in two weeks but it chose that morning to come back. Finally rolling out of bed around noon I could feel Joe had something planned so I started to get myself together (red lip stick included). 

We are big card players in this house so we played a best 2 out of 3 series of the game Sequence then my sister (who just flew in from travelling for 4 months) and her friend from Victoria (who also flew in to meet up with her) joined us for a few rounds of Shithead. Before the game was fully finished Joe abruptly said we had to go, we packed Carsen up and began driving. 

We ended up driving to the edge of town, not knowing where we were headed we ended up dropping Carsey off with a babysitter and turned around back into town where Joe continued to confuse me by driving in and around neighbourhoods wasting time until we arrived at the Casino where he had planned a surprise dinner with family and friends. 

The following morning we woke up to a beautiful sunrise and both agreed is spent most of my birthday feeling ill and that we should go on an adventure! We ventured off to Naramata which is just past Penticton, BC and has got to be one of the most beautiful drives in BC FULL of wineries. We took Carsen to a park where I used to play as I spent many summers attending a camp out there years ago. We grabbed lunch at a cute little cafe and ended our day in Kelowna having dinner with great friends at Earls (where I got to satisfy a major craving I've been having!) Our friends Branden and Sarah are actually getting married at the end of May and Joe is Branden's best man, I'm one of Sarah's bridesmaids and Carsen is the little ring man. Catching up with them is always so fun! (Note: Carsey slept the entire dinner and visit in the booth with us)

I loved every minute of this day... I am so so blessed.....❤️
