So, to make absolutely SURE that I got the birthday celebration he deems me worthy of, he set aside this weekend as my Shmirfday weekend. When I got home from work on Thursday evening, there was a sign on our front door cordially inviting me to celebrate my birthday from Friday at 5 pm until Sunday when I went to bed. I was very excited! The invitation made note of the fact that we were going to do whatever I wanted, eat whatever I wanted for our meals, and just have fun together all weekend. It was a lot to look forward to.
Oh, and the cards! I have been wanting an IPod for a while, especially to use while I was laboring, but it just wasn't going to work out financially. Baby-buying and the anticipation of medical bills to come was keeping us from being able to budget for one. MM presented me with two cards Thursday night. One was from Bunny and was a sweet little card about being a perfect mom. On the inside, MM had taped a picture of an IPod. I was intrigued, but not sure what it meant. After that, I opened a card from MM himself, and inside the first flap was a receipt for The Three Muskateers, one of my favorite movies that he had ordered for me. Inside the second flap, was just the amount of money I needed to order my IPod and several accessories. I was SHOCKED! Where did the money come from?! I am three weeks away from starting unpaid maternity leave!! Well, as it turns out, MM had finally sold his saddle and wanted me to use the money for whatever I wanted. Needless to say, after Bunny's card and "suggestion", my IPod was ordered and is on its way.
There's much more to say about this wonderful weekend, but it'll keep for another post. Here's some pics of us enjoying Friday night after a nice dinner out. It FINALLY started raining and we sat on the back porch, talking and enjoying the smell, sight and sound of that blessed precipitation!
Oh, and just a side note. We had an U/S on Friday to check Bunny's position, size, and etc. Every time I have an U/S or lab done, we have to register at the hospital. The registrar noted that my birthday was close to my due date, and we ended up discussing MM's Shmirfday plans for the weekend. She was impressed with his forethought and asked if he had other children. We told her he was just that smart. He really is Captain Amazing, isn't he? I guess I may have to consider an official name change from "MM" to "CA".
