Here I am

I still love being pregnant. I love feeling Patrick all squirming around and poking knees and elbows into various sections of my lower anatomy. I love rubbing my belly and watching it get bigger.

However....

I'm just a bit more cranky now. Work flat out finishes me. Two days in a row and I'm useless the following day. Sleep is elusive, and I rarely sleep longer than two hours at a stretch. Thank goodness this is a first baby, and I can at least take a nap in the afternoon. And I need to eat. Alot.

Kevin and I visited with the family in Vancouver last weekend. David drove up after work to see my belly for a few hours. His darling wife wasn't able to come, and we missed her. We started the day with Jay and Chenoah. They gave us a lesson: How To Go Out To Lunch With Your Baby. (hint--only one person gets to eat at a time). It was lovely to see them and their son, Elijah. Then we joined Nancy and Craig for dinner. Craig took great care of us, with lots of yummy wine (Kevin loved that, I had a few tasty sips) and fabulous food.

The rest of the week has been happily benign. Yoga class, busy days at work for everybody, small amounts of housework. At the beginning of the month, Kevin and I had a Fine Time. Then the money ran out before the month did, giving us a tight two weeks. :) But today was payday, and we finally went to the grocery store. Three stores in a row wore Kevin out. But we have lots of tasty food, with only a few treats.

This weekend, we are attending a Birthing Workshop at the yoga studio. And we can finally get to work putting shelves in the closet. I can get organized!
