We had an ultrasound this past week (Steve snuck me in to the ER, and Justin Thompson was the man behind the machine), and it seems that we are 2 weeks further along than we were guessing (I know, you are all wishing that that could happen to you). That puts the due date on Nov 6, which happens to be Shaun's birthday (happy birthday, Shaun. Its another sister...NNNOOOOO!!!). We actually don't know yet what it is, but I think its a girl (but I KNEW Nathan was a girl, so maybe my mother's intuition is off).
In other news, Toledo has hit an all time low (or high) and is now charging $4.19 a gallon for gas. It cost more to drive to Little Ceasars now than it does to buy their disgusting pizza. What happened to the good old days when pizza was expensive and driving was fun.
Another fun tidbit, Steve did his first hiemlich today. It was on Rachel, and it worked. So if you ever doubt if all this training was worth it, it pays off in the end, my friend. It pays off when they're actually home, I guess. I don't know what I would have done if he was at work. Called 911 like everyone else. I'm useless without him.

My 27th B-day!!!
So, yesterday was my 27th birthday. Hooray! I feel so much older and SO much wiser than 2 days ago. It was a really great day, and I felt so loved from everyone around me. Steve worked until 3 that morning, then had to go in at 5pm, so we had to change things up a bit from our usual dinner out and cake and ice cream, followed by kids to bed and movie watching.
I got up at 7:30 and Steve jumped out of bed and ran down the stairs before me to heat up an omelet that he brought me home from the hospital, then promptly went back and collapsed in bed for 4 more hours. The kids then sang to me how I smell like a zoo, and then I realized I hadn't showered yet. I couldn't shower yet, because then it was on to walking group for a great morning walk with a surprise cake and ice cream at the end. I was so fun and I felt very loved by my great friends here. Toledo will definitely be missed.
After playing for a while at the park, we rushed home to wake Steve and then I went and took Shaun out of school, and we headed out to b-day lunch. We went to the fanciest place we thought the kids could handle, TGIFriday's. They really wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese, but I couldn't think of anything that would make me loose that omelet and the cake and ice cream faster. So while we were waiting for our food, Steve pull out my presents. The first was a new sudoku book (I'm addicted. Is there some kind of support group for that? SA? Hi, I'm Katie, and I dream in numbers from 1-9 in straight lines across and down, and in small 3x3 squares. Hello Katie.) Then the second gift was the thing I have wanted for probably 4 years now, a trip to Chicago to see Wicked!!!!!!!!
I almost started crying. I am so dang excited! We'll go on the 27th of May, and hang out for a few days, and see the sites of Chicago. I can't believe I am finally seeing Wicked. I wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, and can't get back to sleep due to 'Loathing' or 'Defying Gravity' going through my head incessantly. I love it so much that it haunts my every waking moment (even if I'm just partly awake). The 3rd gift came in the mail later, and it was the 6 hour version of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility on DVD. I could not have asked for 3 better or more thoughtful gifts. It was perfect.
Later, for dinner, my friend Leisy brought over the best Papa Murphy's Pizza I have ever had. I had Chicken, artichoke hearts, spinach, and bacon with a creamy sauce. It was amazing. The kids didn't love the artichokes, so, hey, more for me.
We then went to cooking group and had a most lovely time with our friends, eating and chatting and eating some more. When we came home and I finally put the kids to bed, (about 9;45. Bed time around here is specifically 7:30) I collapsed in a food induce stupor and watched some of Sense and Sensibility until my eyes would no longer focus on Kate Winslet's face framed by her perfect golden curls.
I loved my birthday, and wish I could do it again tomorrow. Oh well, only 364 more days.
Anyway, in keeping with birthday blog tradition, something you might not know about me is that I give way too many details about minor things. Oh wait, you may have discovered that on your own just now. So, something else you might not know about me is that my biggest dream is to someday sing in the MoTab.
I am nowhere near the level you have to be to get in, but I figure I have a a few years to learn. Where there's a will, there's a way, right?

Batters up!
We haven't had a Shaun post yet, and I feel like sometimes we all forget that he's around. He is an awesome kid, and an awesome batter. Just watch this to understand what I mean. Sure, its a plastic bat and ball, but he still hits them out of the park.

Does anyone want autographs?
Hot Gossip Alert:
I just heard from my husband, who heard it from another resident, who heard it from a nurse, who overheard another nurse telling a patient that they actually worked with this person's mom. Mrs. Tom Cruise, aka Katie Holmes is from none other than Toledo, OH. Her mom works at St V's in the NICU. I am famous!
