Rockin' The 'Burbs: 3rd Year Wedding Anniversary, part II

These past 3 days off, starting with Thursday, were pretty busy! The first day off I got up early and straightened up the house for my vanpool friends to come over. These are the girls who I ride to work with and they wanted to give me a mini baby shower. We had it at my house so they could see the nursery. It actually turned out really well. They all came over and brought some yummy take out Chinese food and a delicious cake. We visited for a long while and they got the tour of my entire house since they have not been here. After the shower luncheon I ran some errands for Baby G.

Friday consisted of going to my 35-week appointment at my ob/gyn's office. I had the Group B Strep Test done and was checked to see if I am dialated. I am 1 cm dialated, 30% effaced. Whoa! It was a reality check again that this baby is going to be here before you know it. Actually, I asked if 1 cm meant anything about delivering anytime soon and the doc said that there are women who are dialated 3-4 cm and don't deliver until 40 weeks. But he now wants to see me every Friday from here on out. After the doc's appointment I went downtown to my friend Sarah's house where we went shopping and ate at Red Onion--YUM! It was great to visit and catch up with her. I got home early that afternoon and relaxed. When Ryan got home from work that evening, we watched the movie I Love You, Man--which I would definitely recommend. Very funny!

Today, Saturday, we celebrated our anniversary, finally. Since Ryan and I both worked on Wednesday, August 19th, we decided to celebrate it today by going to eat at a place called Ouisie's Table. Usually Ryan and I always go out to eat for our anniversary at a sushi place since that is where we went on our first date and since we love sushi. Because I still am a little scared to eat raw fish while preggers, we went to Ouisie's instead. It is a cute/romantic Southern food place in the galleria area of Houston. We have been there once for a wedding reception of our great friends, Aaron and Sarah, but wanted to go back to actually dine at the restaurant. Ryan got their famous chicken fried steak and I got their shrimp and grits. Both were delicious! We got some sort of fruit bread a la mode for dessert and it was great too. It was a nice leisure lunch and a little cheaper than eating there for dinner, plus I have to work tomorrow.
