My husband actually brought me flowers for my birthday. I didn't think he'd do anything since all three boys walked out the door without even saying Happy Birthday to me. I didn't really expect the boys to say anything, but was disappointed that Jason didn't. Though he totally made up for it by getting tulips at the flower shop next door to the clinic and bringing them to me himself. I also got tulips from my coworkers, a hen and chicks from my boss, a pink daisy from a friend, a book I've been dying to have but couldn't get due to saving for other things, and I'll get a bowling ball and shoes as soon as they get ordered and the ball gets drilled. My ball will smell like Tropical Punch, or Fruit Punch or something like that. They actually imbed the smell into the ball as they make it, so if the smell wears off, all you have to do is clean the oil off the ball and it smells again. I'm so excited. I'm finally getting to start bowling again this fall, which means as soon as I get my ball and shoes I'll go down and practice as much as I can so my average isn't 60 when league time comes around. I'll bowl as long as my dr says it's ok, and then start back up as soon as he lets me after delivery. My team already knows I'll miss some of the season, so they're finding a sub to take my place when I can't bowl. But I figure there's not much stress, the ball's only going to be 12 lbs (2 more than anything I've ever used before), and the hardest thing will be adjusting for balance each week. But I bowl for fun, and I want to get better cause it's been too long since I've really tried when I'm out there, so I'm going in knowing that I'll be off this season. At least I'll have a good handicap to help me out.
