A Day in My Life

Monday, Monday... or wait, it's Tuesday!

Ever notice how when you take a day off you get all sorts of mixed up? I keep thinking that it's Monday even though I know it's Tuesday. I should be happy tomorrow is Wednesday & the week is 1/2 way over but I just can't seem to get this Monday feeling off me.

I had a fairly eventful weekend starting out on Friday with finding out the results of my 1 hour glucose test... I need to take it again! My doctor's office said there was a 'lab error' and now I need to go sit at the lab and drink the glucola drink and wait the hour before they draw my blood. It is really an inconvenience, especially b/c I have a lot going on lately on the weekends and truthfully I don't want to go sit at the lab for an hour! I didn't do anything wrong & so it is kinda sucky to have to do it over again.

Saturday my mom & little sister came over to help paint the nursery. My sister had never painted before so she helped me prime the trim around the door and the closet door while my mom worked on airbrushing clouds on the ceiling. She had some trouble with the airbrush so she wasn't able to finish, but I think it'll look great once it's done. My mom's friend Luba also sent over some clothes from her little girl who is 3ish I think now. There are some really cutes clothes in there and I can't wait to dress up Baby Bacon in her little outfits. My mom also gave me a book on breastfeeding for new mothers.

Sunday Kevin & I went to the Englishtown fleamarket to advertise his business and see if he could drum up any leads. He and I were up late Friday night working on a display board that actually turned out really nice. Sunday we were up early and out of the house by 7 am. We were at the fleamarket by 8 am and he had his first lead by 10 am. It was a beautiful day and we were in and out of the sun. I did a lot of crocheting and had a great time but I got a really bad sunburn! Even Kevin who is 1/2 spanish (his mother is from Honduras) got sunburned on his face & blistered on his nose- his first bad burn ever!! My burn is terrible on the sides of my neck and on my arms all the way down to the tops of my hands (I was wearing a tshirt and jeans! nothing that even exposed me very much!).

When I woke up Monday I hadn't slept very much b/c I was so sore and couldn't sleep during the night so I got up and called out, hence the reason I am all screwy on what day it is. I made a website up for the business. If you want to take a look and let me know what you think here's the link: KK Custom Baths. I think it came out pretty nice. I know I was never really "for" his having a business but I can't be against it now.. we are really needing some kind of an income & he has not been able to get a new job yet. It was also getting really hard arguing and fighting with him constantly- I just couldn't deal with the extra stress.

Today I went to work :-p and we just got back from my first lamaze class! I can't believe that I'm already 29 weeks pregnant!! The class was really small & there were actually only 3 other couples there. It was pretty interesting though I think Kevin was kinda bored. We did mostly talking about birth and what it will be like. Than we watched 2 actual births (OUCH!) and finally laid down with our pillows and blankets and did a sort of meditation. The idea seems to be that if I can focus and relax during labor it will be more bearable. I hope so b/c it looked pretty uncomfortable and painful in those videos!! Our next class is next Tuesday and it ought to be interesting to say the least :) This Sat we also have classes at the hospital; we'll be going to Baby Basics which is a parenting class for new parents and than Breastfeeding. It's a full day & we'll be there from 9 am to 5:30 pm! I just can't believe that we are already getting this close to having our baby!!!

Well, I better get going. If this doesn't make a ton of sense I'm sorry, I'm watching tv and talking to Kevin while I'm typing, not to mention Baby Bacon in kicking up a storm! LOL!! Night!

Ugh. Sorry about the glucose test. That is a bummer as is the sunburn! Aloe Vera is your friend I'm guessing...or noxema. Do they even make that stuff still?

Have a great Tuesday...or Wednesday. ;)

Kristina,

You are always so busy! I am sorry to hear about your glucose test. I have mine in five weeks. You'll have to post pictures of the nursery. I bet it is going to look so cute and that your little girl is going to love it. Our bedding was shipped yesterday, so I cannot wait for it to arrive. We are planning on tackling the nursery in June, after my shower. My grandmother wants to buy our crib for us, which will so helpful. I still have so much stuff to purchase. Is it just me, or do you feel the same way? So much to do and so little time.
