So our friends are getting married this Saturday and tonight was the rehearsal and dinner at my favorite restaurant, Azteca. Our friends have a long history of getting together and going out for copious amounts of drinks together so of course tonight was no different with plans for an after party at one of my old favorite places in Seattle, Marcus's Martini Heaven. Before I got pregnant and before we recommitted our lives to the Lord, I must admit that this was a favorite past time of mine. Especially with the bride and groom- it's what they do! I became accustomed to be greeted by my friend Rob (the groom) knocking at our door with an 18-pack of Coors Light ready to play dominoes or cards on a regular basis.
Tonight, (well actually at the rehersal, during dinner AND after..all of which included everyone drinking beer by all my friends) I found myself sad knowing that those days are over for me, expecially now that I'm pregnant. Not that I feel like I'm missing out on anything because I know that we would have ended up reminesing about the same stories that we always do, but it's just weird to have that part of my life gone. I guess too that Koa and I have always kind of been "mom and dad" to our group of friends because we're a couple of years older, but now it's funny because that the title is actually true. So I feel a little bummed out that I'm missing out on the fun, but feel at ease just thinking about the little gift that God has placed in my belly.
Tomorrow morning I'll have my first sonogram to find out how far a long I am and to also...drum roll please...find out if we're having twins! I'm also looking forward to tomorrow afternoon because the bridal party will be getting a manicure and pedicure!
