26 Weeks (& 3 days) for my 26th Birthday!

A couple weeks ago I realized my birthday was right around the corner and that I was approaching 26 weeks just as quickly. What a special gift! I love fun coincidences like that. :)

I worked in the morning and I just loved sitting at my fancy desk! My co-worker Emily went crazy with the crate paper and it was AWESOME! Also, note my Corvette calendar, an office necessity. ;)

I then went home and decided to eat lunch and get caught up on Nashville, when WOOOOOSH! Super SUPER bloody nose. I'm still not sure how much blood I lost, but it was enough that I got scared and asked Zack to come home. I felt bad because he was in training all week, but he didn't hesitate to hop in the car and prepare to take me to the ER. Thankfully about the time he came in the door (about 30 minutes after my nose started bleeding), it slowed down and he helped me clean up and get settled for a much needed nap. Bloody noses are a pretty normal occurrence for me, but this one was particularly bad with large clots and a constant flow (in fact, it was probably worse than the time I was in the Smith Building at BYU-I and EMS came to save me haha). I'll spare you the photos. :p

My mom woke me up, calling to wish me a happy birthday. I talked to her for a bit until she had to go see a patient. I couldn't really fall back asleep so I just hung out enjoying all the sweet Facebook birthday wishes until Zack got home with groceries to make his amazing tacos! After my semi traumatic day I didn't feel like going out AT ALL and Zack's tacos are better than any restaurant anyway!

Zack loves to give gifts, and this birthday was no exception! I got all kinds of goodies! The only thing I thought to take a picture of though was a book he got me:

It's a fabulous children's book, and I can't wait to read it to our little ones when they are old enough. By the way, do you see the towel on the floor in that photo? Well we have a leak!!! It's only been raining like every day...

When will it get fixed? No one knows, ugh! It seems to get worse with each storm too. Maintenance has been in the apartment to look at it, but no one has been up in the attic to do anything about it. Very frustrating!

Anyway! That night we Skyped with my parents and talked to Zack's Dad on the phone for a bit before dragging ourselves to bed. Zack did his best to give me a massage and then we fell asleep with the light on and I still had gum in my mouth! What a day!

At work we celebrated my birthday the day after by going out to Olive Garden where everyone sang to me and I got to blow out a candle! I love these ladies! I look a bit ridiculous because I wasn't having it when my alarm went off. I took a shower, threw on some clothes, and got my tired butt to work! Oh well, I hear it's what's inside that counts. ;)

In other news...I got an email that Adam Lambert has a new single coming out this month! Best birthday present ever? Maybe. :D
