KB's Birthday

Yesterday was KB's 27th birthday. Only one of our American friends was in the city with us, so it was a very small birthday party. Nevertheless we had a good time. L spent the day making sure that KB had all of his favorite foods. This should go without saying, but all of this food was 100% homemade - including the tortillas. He had biscuits, gravy and eggs for breakfast. For lunch we ate chicken barbecue pizza. For dinner we ate chicken soft tacos, with queso and lime cilantro rice. For his birthday cake we had brownies, with ice cream and homemade chocolate sauce. We were quite full and satisfied!




I think this picture looks like we are two good future parents in training, but the truth is that our dog is scared to death of balloons. They completely freak him out, so we are trying to introduce him to the balloon (by the way look at the scary picture on the balloon). For the rest of the evening he sat still and stared at the balloon, and if you have ever met him you know that sitting still is a miracle in an of itself.


Although L has still 3.5 pounds to gain before she even gets back to her pre-pregnancy weight (she lost 5 pounds as soon as she found out she was pregnant), somehow she is beginning to show. Tomorrow she will be at 16 weeks.


Tomorrow we have to board a bus for a 7 hour trip down south. This is potentially a very bad trip for L. Right now she is visiting the bathroom every hour, and is incredibly thirsty all of the time. The bus will probably only stop one time in the 7 hours. Also, people smoke on the bus, so she will probably have to wear a hot mask the entire time. Lastly, she is having a lot of trouble with headaches. If the trip is really bad, we will have to pay to fly her back for the return trip. Since this will be out of our own pocket, please think of L and hope that she will be able to enjoy the bus trip and be able to return on the bus as well.

We love you all, K & L
