Spoilt rotten

Yesterday was my birthday and hubby did a great job of spoiling me rotten.

Being pregnant as well it was extra nice for hubby to go out of his way to make sure I felt extra special. He had noted I wanted my wedding and engagement ring cleaned and  made sure this was done (even getting the band stretched so it can fit over my swollen pregnancy fingers) as well as finding me the perfect makeup case and Series 1 and 2 of my favourite show The Good Wife from 2011.

I have been craving sea food this pregnancy which is weird for me and nice to be feeling well enough to crave anything. I was hoping for a nice meal out but hubby really outdid himself with booking us a meal at SeaLevel.

We don't have a budget that allows for many indulgences but this meal was fantastic. The location, the service was spot on - and Nick used to work in the industry so can be fussy. We didn't begrudge a single cent of what we paid. To top it all off Aurelia was a perfect angel and happily coloured in after declaring she wasn't eating mermaid friends (she meant crabs and lobster).

After letting her run in the playground for being so beautiful at the restaurant we headed off to my parents house. Nick and Raya had made me a cake, and mum had cooked my favourite pork with my favourite birthday icecream cake - spoilt for choice. Nick's cake actually turned out to taste fantastic and the appearance - let's just say it was made with love.

Bubs made his presence known all day with lots of braxton hicks contractions but thankful no more hospital scares like we had on Friday.

After a swim it was nice to spend time with the family. All in all a very special day.

As a mum it is easy to spend energy giving to others so it was nice to feel so loved and appreciated by my family.

I am one very lucky 33 year old.
