Another week, another Monday depth of feels! I missed filling you guys in on all of the little life happenings last week! Today also marks another Monday with no baby! I’m not sure why that’s so surprising, but the fact that he could come whenever he feels like it has me on pins and needles :]
This last week was all about being normal people. We’re still in total shock about the fact that we’re not traveling and we have weekends free. Not totally free, of course. We’ve still got our odd schedules to keep. But just being in town indefinitely is so confusing! It hasn’t been this way in years! And I’ve got to say, it feels good to be a little normal for a change and not have to coordinate road tripping in the Prius and dog sitters. All that normalcy is going to be short lived with Ollie coming, but I’m holding onto it while I can.
We spent a ton of time getting ready for baby this week, and I won’t bore you with all of those details :] Except to say that I’m super impressed by us. We’re last minute type of people so being practically prepared is leaving me feeling accomplished. David’s school is in full swing after the snow and so is Cru! We also spent a lot of friend time and time together. And a lot of time figuring out the perfect configuration of pillows to get me to be able to sleep. No such luck. More on that later. We also got our anniversary session back from Abby Grace and that meant I was looking through my PASS gallery legitimately every day. It made me a little weepy and nostalgic (what’s new?!) because this phase of life is ending so soon! But it’s also making me cherish this time with David. Again, more on that this week. I’m going to share all of my favorites because I just CAN’T HELP IT! 😀
Time for some feels:
- The home stretch of pregnancy has been the hardest so far. Constant exhaustion, being super uncomfortable, and constant kicks to the ribs are just a part of my days right now. Not helped by the fact that I can’t sleep! Every night, David and I are on a mission to move all of the pillows so that I’ll be comfortable, even going as far to build me a bed on our recliner chair. Our missions have been wholly unsuccessful so far. Wish us luck!
- One of the billion times I woke up in the middle of the night this last week, David had the covers ALL the way over his head. He used to do this a lot, but it is never less terrifying. He looks like a mummy and I don’t know how he’s able to breathe.
- I don’t often miss having cable. But when everyone’s RAVING about Grease Live, I get a little sad. My musical loving heart wants a replay!
- Netflix makes me happy because you can rewatch episodes of New Girl and laugh JUST AS HARD at the fact that Nick calls Schmidt a “bossy old tuna.” Makes me cry laughing every time. That is the perfect insult.
- One of the doctors at the practice I’m delivering with is freaking hilarious. When I asked her thoughts on epidurals, she told me she got one because, and I quote, “I work really hard every day outside of being pregnant…so why not make it easier on myself?” Good enough for me.
- Any other The Profit addicts out there who had the same violent reaction to the 240 Sweets episode this week? David and I were freaking out!
Like I said, more of this Abby Grace perfection on the blog this week. She made us feel so confident even on the coldest, windiest day of the year so far.
Also, this is one of my favorites because David has been taking care of me so well lately. (really, always) And I don’t have anything to give him back except cheek kisses. And he never seems to think that isn’t enough. I love him lots.
