Happy Birthday to ME! The GREAT 28!

Wow, is all I can say to being 28 years old! At first I thought to myself, "crap, 28 is so old"! That is until I went to the dentist yesterday. When I told him I was 28 he said, "WOW congratulations! That's such an exciting and amazing age to be. Live it up and live your dreams!" All of a sudden I got excited about being 28 and thought about things like Grad School, another child, and other goals. I totally agree with him that we should be "livin it up" everyday and doing our best to make ourselves and others happy. Progression and excitement for life should never stop no matter how old we get. Thank you dentist for you words of wisdom!!

For my birthday we went to CRONIES in Hilo with Gramma and Aunty Haulani. They have the best Burgers on this earth. Their Swiss Mushroom Burger is a winner! We then went to Cosmic Cones for some dessert afterwards. It was an awesome birthday. Thank you Gramma and Aunty Haulani for taking us out!

My Favorite present this year was from Kienna. She is finally starting to drink her bottle! Yeah for me! No more breastfeeding in public! After about $100 worth of buying and testing different bottles, nipples, and formula, we finally found one that she likes to drink without gagging. She is almost 6 months and growing so fast. She is around adults all day so when she sees a kid or baby, her attention is hooked and she gets excited. Hooked and excited like her dad is with his PSP.
Anyway it was a wonderful brithday and I'm so grateful to my Heavenly Father for 28 years of blessings, growth, family, friendships, experiences, and love.

Mommy's Birthday Present. I'm finally drinking from a bottle!

Happy Birthday! I have to start thinking like that since I'll be turning 28 this year too. Anyways, I'm glad you enjoyed your day. Kienna is so cute. She's such a good mix. So there's no baby news yet. I swear this baby is trying to kill me. I'm 39 weeks today. That's the longest I've ever been pregnant. I've been having contractions off and on and major ones too. I have a scheduled c-section on Tuesday so by noon or so we'll have our baby boy. I can't wait. My mom comes in tomorrow. We'll see if anything happens before Tuesday. I'm getting so impatient. Well that's it for us for now. Take care. I'll keep you updated!

Sorry I missed your birthday...Happy Belated Birthday. Kienna is so beautiful, and congrats on the bottle. I'm still trying with Maddie. Allie had no problem with any bottles or formula but Maddie still just plays with it and then spits it out. Oh well, I guess I should just be thankful that I'm not gaining weight with all the crap I've been eating lately. Yay, breast feeding.
