Gosh I've had so many things I've wanted to blog about and just haven't sat down and done it so I decided to write a crap bag of stuff. (Get it: title, Crap Bag...I know some of you will!).
First off...Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Although we were disappointed that we couldn't go down to FL our Thanksgiving was pretty fantastic. We had 8 people from the base over for a potluck dinner. Everything was delicious! Of course I hadn't slept well the night before and was exhausted. I think I was in bed by 10:30pm. I've definitely noticed that my energy is depleted once again and I am tired all the time now! Being on bedrest and sedentary most of the time doesn't help that I'm sure.
Reading everyone's status updates on their black Friday shopping made me laugh. 2 years ago we stayed with Paul's sister and her family for Thanksgiving and everyone got up at like 3am to go shopping. Well let me clarify...everyone, but me! There is nothing I need or want that badly that could entice me to get out of bed at 3am to go shopping or to battle crowds at Walmart. I hate Walmart on a good day much less jam packed with crazed holiday shoppers. If I ever tried to go shopping on black Friday there is a good choice I'd be arrested for assaulting someone. Best I stay home and sleep in.
I met someone from I Didn't Know I was Pregnant! Last night I rode with Paul to get dinner at Moe's and went inside so I could tell him what I wanted while he ordered (I sat, he went through the line). While I was sitting there waiting I noticed an extremely obese couple next to me had the tiniest, cutest baby (and I don't describe them as obese to be cruel, but it was just factual...I'm talking Biggest Loser candidates). I also noticed a strong b.o. smell (thank you super sensitive pregnancy nose) and almost threw up at the table, but that is a whole other story. So the woman asks me when I was due and I tell her February and then her hubby tells me their daughter is only 2 weeks old (2 weeks old and at Moe's...I thought you were supposed to stay home with your baby for a month????) Then the wife says, "I didn't know I was pregnant until 2 months ago." WTF!!!!! How is that possible??? What can I even say in response at that point???? "Well good for you," and "Surprise," just didn't seem like the right response so I just laughed uncomfortably and immediately texted 2 of my friends. We chatted a little more and then they left. Gosh their baby was adorable though.
Paul started the nursery today! He painted the walls and trim and the pale pink we picked out looks great! We have our crib and changing table purchased and ready for Paul to assemble and my Pottery Barn Kids bedding came! When I think I only have 82 days until my due date it doesn't seem that long, but when I think I have 11 weeks 5 days to go it seems like forever. But of course that is 11 weeks till my due date...in reality our baby will probably come earlier like when the doctor removes the cerclage at week 36 or 37 which is roughly 8 weeks! We still need to get a dresser, rug, and glider.
I used to make fun of the military spouses who didn't work and just stayed home with their kids. Well, not make fun of them individually, but more made fun of the stereotype of military spouses. I never wanted to be one of them, but now...the idea of staying home with my baby and being a 1950's housewife appeals to me in a very basic way. I like the idea of taking care of my baby and my husband and going to mommy groups on the base. Of course when I lose my job in December that will make my decision on whether to go back to work right away a lot easier to make. lol
Sister Wives: Still don't know. I like the sisterhood idea. The sharing of a man is totally off putting to me.
Okay, I think that's it for now. I'm getting tired and about to go upstairs and read (like I didn't have enough problems with insomnia before I was pregnant--you'd think with being so exhausted all the time I'd sleep better. I don't even nap during the day, but I might start!)
