Weekend in Review

Well, overall it was a pretty good weekend.

Let's start with the TTC news- umm, there is none. My temp went down a bit today, but not much. Symptoms I may have is that my face is breaking out, which it never does, and I hate the slightest ittiest bit of spotting today. My period is not due for 5 days and I never spot except for the 12-24 hours that lead up to full flow of my period, so I don't know what to make of this. I feel like 11 dpo is too late for implantation spotting, but who knows? A few more days until testing and then we will see (unless my luteal phase is cut short and this is really a sign my period is coming 4 days early- which would suck).

And now for what we did this weekend....

We had a pretty good weekend. Friday night we went to happy hour at Continental Midtown. They have a rooftop bar and we had a big table and lots of appys. It was fun.
here we are with limes in our mouth- definitely not cute for me, but E looks good!


Saturday night was great. My sister and her fiancee stayed over. We went to Fogo de Chao, which is a Brazilian Rodizio where they walk around with meat on rotisserie sticks and slice it directly on your plate. It was soooo nice just to hang out with Ali & Dave.
This is Ali & Dave- they get married in 6 weeks, I am so excited for their big day! They live 3.5 hours away, so even though we are very close- We rarely see each other as couples just for the fun of it. My sister and I will meet to shop (usually with mom) and we see them at my parents all the time (my parents are smack in the middle of us- so it is just easy). So we had a great time hanging out just the 4 of us. (as you can see below)

The reason they stayed over was because my Grandma just turned 80. Happy 80th Birthday Grandma!!! It truly is a miracle that she is here today. In May 2007 my Grandma went into the hospital with a UTI and ended up contracting sepsis, and being on life support ( a ventilator and oxygen) for about 7 weeks. She would not wake up from her anesthesia, the doctor's were baffled, and she was dwindling away. One day she woke up- this is about 8 weeks after she went in, doesn't remember a thing, and went through months of therapy and recovery. We all feel so blessed and amazed that she is still with us.

So my parents threw her an 80th bday party. I hope she had as much fun as she looked like she was having!
