My Sweets

27th Birthday

12 Weeks Pregnant
JESSA

I hear the doorbell and I cringe slightly. Why did I think throwing Bobby a surprise birthday party was a good idea? Because he always goes big for me and I wanted to do the same for him. He's been impossible though. That boy is one giant snoop. Everytime I was on the phone, I'd find him creeping around the corner trying to listen. I caught him sneaking through my closet looking for his present. I've had to be extra sneaky and I'm still not sure I've pulled it off. He probably knows. On top of all of this, I'm exhausted. This pregnancy is kicking my butt. I'm not just physically tired, but mentally. To make it easy on myself, I paid to have everything done. I had a party planner in earlier today that decorated the house for me; whisky themed. A caterer is currently downstairs fixing dinner. I even rented a party bus to pick everyone up from the airport. So I haven't had to do much, but I'm still exhausted.

I glance at myself one more time. I'm wearing a loose floral maternity dress. The bold pattern and loose fabric helps to hide how big my bump actually is, somewhat. I got a lot of questions after our friends saw the pictures from the award show. Nobody understands why I'm showing so much and I don't think they are believing the bloat story anymore. We're not going to be able to keep the twins a secret this weekend, especially when I put on a swimming suit tomorrow. I just shouldn't be as big as I am at 12 weeks pregnant. Most people wouldn't even be showing or just starting to. The babies are doing great and we're heading into the second trimester. So if Bobby's ok with it, I have a little surprise to let everyone know.

The doorbell rings again and I rush downstairs. Well, rush as fast as I can with this exhaustion. "Hi guys!" I greet everyone. It's clear they already started the party on the bus. I'm getting loads of hugs and kisses from everyone walking inside. I quickly show everyone the rooms and giggle as they fight over them.

"So when is Bobby going to be here?" Junno asks.

I check the time. "Should be in about 30 minutes."

"Everything looks perfect," Chelsea gushes.

"Thanks, but I did absolutely nothing," I giggle. "Just gave people some money to get the job done."

"The lifestyle of the rich and famous," Gary chuckles.

"How's wedding plans going?" Hannah asks Lottie. "It'll be here soon."

"I know. I'm trying not to bridezilla myself, but I'm feeling the stress. We're about a month out now. It's stressful. There's just so many finishing touches and it feels never ending." Kassam nods in agreement.

"I remember those days. It really is stressful. Just try not to let it get to you and enjoy your last moments of being engaged. This is a special time you'll never get back once it's over."

"That's what I'm trying to do."

"Alright. Let's go wait for the birthday boy to show up," I say.

We all gather quietly in the garage. Bobby will walk into the kitchen when he gets home and instantly be caught off guard by the caterer. So we decided to stand in the garage and wait for him to open it. He always parks his baby in the garage. We are holding a banner and balloons. I'm so happy everyone was able to make it, except Rob. All of our friends are here. Hannah brought her best friend, Ida. Ida was planning on spending the weekend with Hannah and Gary, so of course I invited her so they would come. Ida was more than excited. She's never been to the US and I think she has a bit of a crush on Bobby. As soon as she got here, she was walking around our house taking pictures. A little creepy, but I'm trying to imagine what it would be like if I was in a celebrities house. I sometimes forget that's what he is; a celebrity. Colton and Maleah will be joining us for my big surprise tomorrow.
