I checked my "What to Expect When You're Expecting" app and was shocked to see that I am farther along than the amount of time that I have left! Whoa!
Jesse and my weekend started out with a trip to the Banana Republic Outlet where they advertised 70% off - which some things were but not enough. I meandered through the store with less enthusiasm than I typically have because...well...it's just not worth shopping there since I can't fit into most of it. Banana Republic does not make maternity clothing! But, I did get a comfy gray sweater that will work nicely as I continue to grow :) We did go to Carters and get this adorable onesie!
Then we went down to the Johnson's for relaxing and Piezoni's - best pizza ever. I promptly fell asleep on their couch shortly after 9:30 as well as continued to blow my nose all over their house. I missed a dosage of my antibiotic and I swear that made my evening less enjoyable! Jake and Oliver definitely had a good time chasing, biting, and rolling around with each other.
Saturday I woke up and began to straighten my hair to attend the nuptials of my friend Rachel. However, the weather report quickly nixed those plans in predictions of 12+ inches of snow in the VT area...and we planned to drive home after their wedding. We would have been driving home through the back side of a Nor'easter. We contemplated finding a place in Keene to crash - but we hadn't arranged dog care so unfortunately we missed that once in a lifetime moment. It actually might have been for the best because I went through about 1/4 of a box of tissues...I couldn't walk around and move my head without snottage leaking out. Attractive, I know. We went grocery shopping and built a fire and watching the snow come down. Jake...well, Jake slept the day away, exhausted from his time with Oliver.
Yes, that's him UNDER a blanket on the couch. He's such a sad sack.
Today was a football day. Another missed special moment was the wedding of our friend Heather. Because I've been so sick and yesterday was still not better Jesse made the decision that we weren't going to attend an evening wedding, get home late, and then have to go to work tomorrow.
I've spent a lot of time this weekend staring at a clock picturing where we'd be at what time - but it is what it is...like I said all week - this was not the week for me to get sick! I'm hoping that at some point this week I can stop walking around with a pocket full of tissues or pre-warning members of a meeting that I might leave to blow my nose or sleep through the night without choking on my own post-nasal drip.
Tomorrow is Halloween - it's always a crazy day at work and I just realized that I never picked up pumpkins this weekend to bring to school to clean out and decorate with my students. I'm not a very good teacher...
