Last week was pretty rough, including my birthday. We think Evelyn has acid reflux, and it’s gotten increasingly worse in the past week or two, meaning a lot more crying and vomiting and neediness from her and a lot less sleep for me. That’s probably why this birthday did not get close to my top 5, or even top 10 birthdays to remember list.<\/p>\n

Jared was very sweet though, and wanted to make sure that my birthday could be the best possible. Honestly- I kept forgetting that my birthday was even coming up until Jared interrogated me two days before. That conversation went something like this.<\/p>\n

Jared: “So, have you thought about what you want for your birthday dinner yet? And what kind of cake do you want?”<\/p>\n

Me, baffled: “No… I don’t really know yet.”<\/p>\n

Jared: “Well, can you let me know tonight so I can get planning?”<\/p>\n

Me, more baffled: “I guess… But we’ve got plenty of time to worry about it.”<\/p>\n

Jared, almost patiently: “Elisabeth, you do know your birthday is in two days, right? That doesn’t leave me a lot of time to get ingredients for it.”<\/p>\n

Me: “No… my birthday isn’t in… Ohhhhhhh. Wow, okay. I’ll get back to you on that.”<\/p>\n

Jared, a little less patiently: “You do that.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Poor man. He really did make an effort. I mean, check out this cake!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>(He made it himself… with the help of Costco. The Tuxedo Chocolate Mousse Cake. It may not be the Chocolate Cake of Doom<\/a>, but it was pretty incredible, and more manageable for the two of us. By the way, Costco, you’re welcome for the product plug.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Anyway, because I was a basket-case most of my birthday due to a small little person who resides in our home’s persistent screaming every time I put her down, it was kind of a rough day. Jared also had a very busy week at work, because it was their big marketing week, so he couldn’t do much to help out.<\/p>\n

Between the previously mentioned little screaming person’s persistent crying, which made me cry occasionally, we ate a delightful dinner, opened cards\/gifts (it was a very gift-cardy birthday. Thanks everyone who remembered me!) and ate cake. Then I went back to my prison cell with my little cell-mate and spent the rest of the evening tending to her needs.<\/p>\n

But to make up for it, Saturday, he brought me this in bed:<\/p>\n

And when doesn’t breakfast in bed with heart-shaped pancakes and eggs make your heart feel a little bit better?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
