Birthdays have really changed for me. I remember the days when they usually involved going out to a nice dinner, drinking a bottle or two of wine, etc. No more. Nope. Those are days of the past. As you can tell from these pictures, I was lucky to take a shower. No makeup for me! All I wanted for my birthday was some time off from being mommy. The best we were able to do was to enable me to go part-time. Nanny and Papaw graciously agreed to take Olivia for the weekend and Daddy agreed to watch Lilly while I enjoyed a pedicure and massage at Seasons spa here in Lexington (courtesy of the Dinner Club girls - I love you!). It was fabulous to get away from it all for a while, although I thought it quite ironic that I had a pregnant masseuse and the music that they played was all the classical music from Lilly's swing and bouncy seat. I guess you can't really get away. I had one glass of wine and then went to bed at 9:30 in preparation for a night with Lilly. The next day, Daddy and Olivia "prepared" my favorite birthday cake - a pralines and cream cake from Baskin Robbins (yum!). Olivia was so proud to put in the candles and help me blow them out. She also gave me a pair of houseslippers (yes, the presents have changed drastically from birthday shots to birthday shoes) and a sticker that said "#1 Mom!" Lilly gave me her first smile (sigh - my heart melted). Overall, it was a great way to celebrate the second anniversary of my 29th birthday!
