And yet a third productive day! yey!! Got a lot lot done today and I am happy to feel like I’m making a lot of progress on accomplishing things I want to do before the little one arrives.
Not much else to write today. Except: Happy Birthday Michelle!! Love you.
Another wonderful day. The worst part of today was the totally crazy swelling I have on my ankles and feet. With David, my feet never swelled. But now, they are three times their actual size. Ugh.
A quiet-ish day at home today. Mom and I figured out a bunch more errands, I am washing the last of the baby’s clothes and I think we’re pretty much set now. I am officially getting nervous about labor too so I guess it’s getting close now.
It’s been really really hot here which doesn’t help with the sweating and swelling. But I think it’s going to start getting cooler tomorrow so I am looking forward to that. Thankfully.
Here’s a snapshot of the sunset I caught on the way home from dinner tonight. Magnificent.
A long but wonderful day today. I woke up at 1:30am and couldn’t go back to sleep. I made a whole bunch of calls to overseas and then worked for a while and tried to go back to sleep at 4:30am but then David decided to wake up at 6am so in the end there was almost no sleep most of the night. It’s unbelievably hot here and I am melting so that doesn’t help either.
But it was a productive and great day despite all that. We dropped David at school, went to run Apple stored errands, and then spent a long time at a little cafe in Palo Alto. We then cooled off at the hotel and went to our afternoon appointment. We then rented my mom a car and I finally came back home.
I then found out David has pooped in the toilet! It may sound odd but it’s a big deal in our house for a long story I won’t get into here. But that’s why he is getting to eat a popsicle here. Big big deal.
So all in all, a fantastic day.
Another fantastic day. Didn’t get any art done so far but I did do a whole bunch of the chores I had setup. I caught up in my 365 binder. I posted creative therapy. I cleaned up a bit. I caught up on my blog. Got some pregnant photos taken and cleaned up some of the Tivo. Maybe will get to do some art before we have to leave to pickup my mom.
I woke up at 4am again and didn’t go back to sleep this time. So I took a nap even. I am officially one week away from this little one’s due date. Quite amazing. Long as it was, it all went so quickly. While I took my nap, David played quietly in the living room and here are some of his creations. He is such a wonderful kid and so good at playing with toys.
Happy Sunday!
A truly wonderful Saturday. We went bowling early in the day and had a lot of fun. I didn’t bowl but took some fun photos which I will post next. We then got some more Subway and came back home to take some family photos which is when we took the above shot. I’ll post the others separately.
David then went down for his nap and I did a few upcoming catalysts. Did a bunch of coordinaton and organization for the next few weeks. I am trying to get ready for the baby as much as I can. I know it’s all going to be unpredictable and I am ok with that but I’d like to finish off as many loose ends as possible.
When David woke up, he and Jake went out to the park and I rested a bit and next thing we know it was time to eat, watch some TV and go to bed. All in all, a truly wonderful day.
As promsed, a quiet day today. The cramps seem to have quieted down, thankfully.
The only thing we did today was to take a little walk in the neighborhood and go to subway for another yummy sandwich. Otherwise, it was a TV and rest day. Isn’t the little boy so cute? I wonder how similar he and the little baby will be? Is he or she also going to look like Daddy?
I will leave you with a flower photo I took outside, aren’t you glad it’s not a tulip?
I am sorry, I don’t know why I keep falling behind lately. Today was a long day of a lot of errands for us. It started with a doctor’s appointment. I am only 2cm dilated and around 50% effaced so there’s still a while to go for the little one. We then ran a bunch more errands and then went to Subway. I seem to be completely addicted to the chicken fillet sandwiches there lately and crave them every single day.
We then came home and were both wiped so took naps and then woke up and went back out. After finishing off a really important errand, we finally decided to celebrate this very productive day with some ice cream. David ate this relatively gross one and I had some chocolate ice cream with bananas. Yum.
Probably due to the doctor’s appointment and the hectic day, but I had some crampy contractions today. The kind that signifies labor. So tomorrow’s going to be a quiet day at home just to make sure.
You know it was time for another tulip shot, right?
I guess my “middle of the day” nap got in the way yesterday cause I couldn’t sleep properly all night. I woke up at 1am and didn’t go back to sleep until 3am. I am not sure if it’s the baby, the crazy amount of other stuff happening in my life right now, or just feeling not tired but it makes the next day that much harder.
So so on the productivity scale today. But feeling ok despite being a bit tired. I got my tag finished (coming in the next post) which makes me happy. Finished a few more odds and ends and I am off to read some paperwork that needs to be read today. A few more errands this afternoon and I should feel like a good, solid day and then I can do some more art. The art makes me so happy.
David and I also played a game today. One he invented. He spent a long time collecting items for it, waited patiently until I was ready to play, and then meticilously wrote instructions for it. Here he is going over the instructions with me:
And then explaining all the pieces of the game:
How can one not love this boy?
Happy, productive day today! I ordered my photos, finished the performance evalations for work, finished reading my friend Kathy’s story, ordered all the certificates I needed to do my upcoming consulate work, got gas, went to Costco, nd even bought a few scrapbook fun at Michael’s. Which is where we bought David these cute little stickers he is wearing. I’ve even printed my birth plan and have done half the list for packing our bags. Another productive day tomorrow and I think we’ll be all set.
After which maybe I can actually get some art done since I am itching to do my tag and maybe even a few more creative therapy catalysts. Wouldn’t that be awesome. Thursday’s going to be a full day so I want to make sure to get some good rest tomorrow, too. I can’t believe we’re already halfway through this week. All this time is passing way too quickly.
Happy Tuesday!
Quiet day here. Semi-productive and mostly resting and relaxing. Got a few things done and have a whole bunch more to go. I shall leave you with another one of the cute, sweet boy.
Today started much better. We were invited to an Easter brunch at our friend Kathy’s and David was the only kid there which meant he had the 60-some eggs all to himself. He was so excited and so happy that he couldn’t stop hugging her and telling her how awesome she was. I think it was by far the best Easter he’s ever had.
The rest of our day went pretty smoothly, too. I finally got my birthplan done and I got the packing list for the hospital, too so I will pack tomorrow. A few tiny things and we’re officially ready for this little one. Though, I have another 13 days or so and I’d like the baby to stay put until it’s due date ideally so she or he can be fully grown and healthy. Cross fingers.
My mom is coming a week from today. I haven’t seen her since Thanksgiving and I can’t wait. One more week. I will leave you with a shot of David digging through Kathy’s house to find all the eggs.
This shot is really representative of the day we had. All three of us were grouchy in our on way and despite one piece of unbelievable and fantastic news in the middle of the day, we just couldn’t get ourselves to be in good spirits.
Some days are just like that.
