22 Weeks 4 Days- Happy 84th Birthday Grandma!!


It was my Grandma Irene's 84th birthday and my parents brought her to the Cities on Saturday, May 10th to spend a night at Mystic Lake Casino with her family. We had so much fun together. We started off the night with a huge buffet style dinner where the waiters sang happy birthday to grandma. As grandma blew her candle out on her cake, she wished for our little girl to be healthy. :) Isn't that the sweetest thing ever? After that, my mom, sister, grandma, Aunt Sue and I all decided to try our luck at bingo. I haven't played for years and it is a lot different than I remembered it to be. First of all, it is extremely hard to talk to anyone while playing because you have so many cards to look at and so little time in between the numbers being called. It was definitely not a place for someone with a low attention span because it is very easy to get lost quickly. None of us were able to yell out "bingo" but we all had a great time together. I managed to stay up that night until 11:00 PM which is a HUGE accomplishment for me nowadays. :) Everyone says that they get a lot of energy in their 2nd trimester, but I have kind of remained the same. I have a lot of energy throughout the day, but when it is night time, I have a hard time staying up. It must have been the extra excitement of the night with my family that allowed me to stay up past my bedtime. :)
