@MickeyM04, I am actually having a party....I am kind of second-guessing this decision as I will be 36 weeks pregnant, but eh, whatever. I feel like I have to celebrate above and beyond the norm for a "milestone" birthday. The party is on the 26th and we are having Chick-Fil-A catered in and a big 'ol cake. I figure if I can't have any alcoholic beverages, at least I can have my favorite foods I will NOT be wearing heels for this occasion! LOL As for the actual day, I took that day off work and plan to lay around and do absolutely nothing, which is exactly what I want to do on my birthday. It is probably my last day totally to myself before this baby comes!
