2010.06.04 26th Birthday

First thing that I did on my birthday was...went to my OB-gyn for the weekly check up,
I was on my 40th week of pregnancy (39weeks and 4 days to be precise),
hubby and I was excited when the doctor told us that I was already 2 cm dilated, it getting closer to the labor...yay!!

After the doctor appointment, hubby and I went to The Cheesecake Factory to have my birthday lunch
I LOVE the Frozen Iced Mango, it was sooo good!!!! it was swirled with Raspberry Puree
Hubby's Cajun Jambalaya Pasta...no wonder this was their most popular food! it tasted so good...much better than mine! I almost tempted to order this dish, but then the description said that it was very spicy...I should know better that US's grade of spiciness has nothing on Indonesian grade of spiciness...it wasn't spicy at all!! ;p
My Shrimp With Angel Hair, it was ok...came with 4 shrimps only >,< after lunch we went home and I had a good long nap...ZZZZzzzzZZZZzzzzz =)
and we continue the birthday celebration with a small dinner with friends

she was about to get the Balinese story book, but they were not in stock
