This weekend exhausted me. I did way too much. I don't think it's "registered" that maybe I should slow down a little bit being 9 months pregnant. I cleaned and ran errands all morning Saturday then we had a wedding at 4. By the time I got to the reception my feet and back were DONE. Sunday was non stop as well...I went to a friends first thing to bring over last minute items for the baby shower we were hosting there that afternoon. We then went to church, we finally joined this Sunday...yay! The service was good and my parents came and several of our friends were there...so that was nice. We went and had a nice lunch with my parents before I had to scoot out to help host a baby shower for my bestest Jennifer! Everything ended up looking beautiful and I think the mommy to be enjoyed herself. I've started to swell a bit though...so standing on my feet for long periods of time is no good, at least for the cankle factor. Thank goodness we chose to go over to some friends for the super bowl where I could RELAX. It was just the four of us and their adorable little girl, laid back night of watching football and eating pizza. We stayed until the third quarter and then I had to call it a night, I was EXHAUSTED.
I'm being negative right now about being pregnant...and I don't like it, but OH MY WORD. Somewhere around the 36 week mark I went downhill fast. By the time I get home from work I am tired OUT, and my back is killing me...and I take my socks off and still look I have socks on. WTH? I try to rest and elevate my feet to take down the swelling but then if I lay on my back too long it makes my back feel worse. Hmmmph. I keep apologizing to Mikey for being negative and complaining, thank goodness he is being absolutely WONDERFUL and tells me to complain away:) He really has been phenomenal lately...going above and beyond around the house so I don't have to do anything. MUCH appreciated. They say you get an energy boost before the baby comes...so whenever that wants to appear would be GRAND.
On a happy POSITIVE note, Mikey and I both have work baby showers this week. I think it is so sweet that they are doing that. I kinda knew I would get one because we did it for the other girls, but for Mikey's bank employees to throw him a "man" shower makes me smile, so nice.
On another POSITIVE note, the crib bedding came in and looks AWESOME! YAY!
I bought a fake ring a couple of weeks ago...it has already turned and makes my finger GREEN. hahaha, looks so ridiculous but I don't care! My mom retained a lot of fluid at the end and had to have her ring cut off so I wasn't going to take any chances.
I thought the Super Bowl ads were pretty lame for the most part and I did NOT think Madonna was that impressive. Sure the overall "show" looked good, but her LACK of singing?? Not so much.
I'm looking forward to a couple of "easy" weekends before the baby comes. We only have a few parties/showers/etc over the next few weekends and other than that we can RELAX.
I started Sarah's Key last night, I think it is going to be very good and very sad.
That's all I've got for today...off to my THIRTY SEVEN week appointment!
