So a coworker approached me in the hall at the end of the day today and said "So, I'm not trying to be nosy, but are you pregnant?"...apparently today is the first time that she's been sure enough to approach me and ask. Meanwhile, I think me belly looks smaller today than it did Saturday. I had a good poop yesterday so it made room for other things to settle back in!
We had a busy weekend this weekend, and I had a mini emotional breakdown to prove it!
Friday we cleaned our house top to bottom. Correction - Friday we cleaned up all the dog fur! Jesse and I always say that if it wasn't for Jake we wouldn't have to clean as much or as often! Then Saturday we got up, showered, packed, and headed down to drop Jake off at Eric and Laura's for an overnight and then made our way to New Jersey. Honestly, I think we took the worst way possible to get there. Maybe not the worst, but definitely not the best...needless to say, 5 hours later we were there!
We checked out a street fair that was dedicated to a river that had flooded some local towns during Irene. To be honest, I probably wouldn't have given the river a fair...but that's just me. We walked up, we walked down. Jesse and I each got an Oriental Steak Tip kebab which I lovingly referred to as a meat stick the rest of the day (if you knew Jesse's roommate Brando you would understand why I lowered myself to a teenager type of humor). We watched some firefighters test each other to see who could climb the highest up the ladder and came to the conclusion that if we are ever on the 4th floor during a fire we might as well get our affairs in order!
That night we got to see Ben and Jen's new place (Jen let me borrow some maternity tops) and then headed to a "club" called Banana's for a comedy show. It was awesome and surprisingly with our group of people we were deemed "the good ones" at the show for being so "well behaved" - not something I would have normally entitled us, but I'll take it. I felt like the party pooper for not being up to going out after the show ended - and I definitely appreciated my husband for standing up for me and immediately saying no on my behalf. It ended up working out because Christine and I went to bed shortly after arriving back at the condo.
The next morning we had a wonderful breakfast cooked by Christine and Brandon and then headed out for another five hour car ride. We took a risk and went 95 north for the whole trip...and didn't hit a bit of traffic going over the George Washington Bridge :) There was a marathon so I was hoping everyone would be settled around the city and we wouldn't get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. We picked up the pup at Eric and Laura's and then arrived home where I promptly devoured a good amount of cape cod chips and dip. I felt pretty disgusting afterwards - thus when I went grocery shopping before the Pats game I decided to purchase some healthy and organic snacks.
When I got home from shopping I got attacked by the freezer door while I was putting things away. I punched it back and screamed at it and then began to cry. It was at that point that I realized how tired I was. I really cannot handle doing ANYTHING on the weekend that doesn't involve sitting somewhere where I can readily fall asleep and not feel like I'm being rude.
How were your weekends?
Weekend fine here....drizzly and on the cold side, which - if it's like that for more than one day - it's just not normal. Love the time change and the extra hour, but given the opportunities I had to accomplish some things - I am not real proud of myself. I did book tickets to come see you, though, so that made my weekend good.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that the travels went well and to know that you are home safe and sound. As far as the "breakdown" - all bets are off during pregnancies. You cannot be held accountable for mood swings or food cravings. For the most part, it's all good....so take the bad with a grain of sale. Soon enough you will be holding that little one in your arms, and anything and everything you've gone through in life will suddenly be worth it. That's what love is/does.
My weekend was way less busy compared to yours. The twins pretty much decided Saturday was their day to break down, which sucked since I had 3 baby showers to try and get too. Needless to say i thought a nap would help them and it didnt so I just stayed home.
ReplyDeleteThat was pretty much it for us. Oh and we bought a new bedroom door that is solid wood in order to help control the noise when Wes sleeps during the day. So that got done. But that was all Wes and his dad!
