HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Well, today is my mother's 61st birthday! Usually, we have a lunch or dinner with friends and/or family, but my grandmother is not well. This year, mom elected to go to lunch and a movie. Why is it every time I wear white I spill something that could easily permanently stain on me? Anywho... we went to lunch and then saw The Proposal. It was really cute. My husband went with us too. That is what I am thankful for today. I am thankful that my mother and husband get along so well to the point where he enjoys hanging out with just me and my mom. Today, the song that makes me smile is "Beat It" by Michael Jackson. Why? Because my mother explained to my husband and I on the way to lunch that "Beat It" is her favorite Michael Jackson song from the Thriller album. Also, she educated us on the fact that 7 of the 9 songs on that album went platinum! Here is her birthday picture. We really look nothing alike... The Lithuanian really shows in my mom, I am definitely a Thomas! Well, anyway, HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!


Before mom's birthday, we went to church with a childhood friend of mine, Kara, and her family. It was a very small Church of Christ church, and the members were so friendly. It was a lovely church. I think that we miss instruments, though! Tomorrow is our big "baseline" ultrasound. It will tell us how far along I am in building my uterine wall (gross, I know) and what dosage of hormones they want to put me on. Today, when I was reviewing our calendar, we noticed that we are only 2 weeks away from retrieval. That is crazy. I cannot believe it is right around the corner! I also found out that my Aunt Jan and Barb are coming in from Chicago July 24th. Perfect timing! Hopefully we are celebrating a positive pregnancy test! My results will be sometime between the 24th and 26th! Also, our friends Amy & Dave are coming in to celebrate that weekend with us! Yea! Surrounded by great people! Have a great Monday! ~Amy
