Daddy celebrated his birthday a number of times over. We had a Korean BBQ with our cousins and also stuffed ourselves with ricotta cheese cake. We vegged out afterwards watching the repeat of the Olympic Games opening ceremony only to realise that they’d skipped the Philippines! Annabelle seemed quiet, not kicking as much. We thought it was probably all the ruckus as she kicked a whole lot more once they left. However, the girls did manage to feel one of her kicks before they left.
We also went out with Daddy’s “Birthday Twins” (our friends who celebrate a birthday on the same day and the day afterwards) who were also expecting babies of their own. It was beautiful time to be with our friends and family, laughing and sharing our excitement to have our babies come into the world.
Our wedding anniversary was just around the corner and now when I think about it, this was the starting point of when our lives were forever changed.
