I need to post more often...

Otherwise these entries get sooo long!! The rest of our weekend was good, productive, and crazy busy. I ended up sort of losing my marbles a bit on Sunday afternoon b/c I was going going going the entire day and only sat for about 30 minutes post-breakfast until around 5pm...which turns out is too long of a day to keep going that much and not lose it. But after a good release of "eye water" and a little "I'm too tired! My feet hurt! I don't wanna!" Adam suggested I sit for a while with my feet up while he finished the rest of the time sensitive work that needed to be done. Check and check. It helped, but it was a long day. Adam's mom, grandma, and cousin came to spend the night and we had a really nice visit with them. It was great to have them and see Parker as we hadn't seen her in quite some time. She had great fun with the dogs who then slept all day Monday. I loved Monday. We did nothing. I was in PJs until 1:30 while the dogs slept...there was a great big dent in the recliner from where I didn't move a majority of the day. Adam also left for Vancouver on Monday and is there until Friday this week.

I don't think I've posted this yet, but I can now feel when she has hiccups if I'm sitting/lying down/relaxing which is kind of cute. I get sad for her when they last more than a minute or so, but it's perfectly normal while she's practicing swallowing/breathing the amniotic fluid so it's really nothing to be concerned about. This has been happening for about a week, week and a half or so that I can really feel her do this. Let's see, what else is she up to...nothing much outside of the regular (but strong) kicking/punching, some rolling around, and the like. She has continued to maintain a great sleep schedule (meaning she doesn't wake me up at night) although sometimes I wake her up when I roll over...that's quite a feat sometimes but not impossible to do independently. :) Yet.

Today I had orientation for the job I've had for a year now. It was brutally slow, completely boring, and by the afternoon I was contracting more and more from all the sitting (which we're not used to at all) we were doing. This seems to have continued into the evening even though I stayed hydrated pretty well. Thankfully tomorrow's session is only a half day for me (it's 3 days total for newbies!!) but then I'm heading back to Muscatine to write up an eval from Tuesday and then complete another one. Why did I say I'd do these at the end of the last school year? Oh yeah, b/c I can't say no to something that makes sense. :) Oh! And tomorrow is the 75% done mark, or 30 weeks. I'm so excited about how far I'm getting with the baby, as I've said before, b/c heaven forbid she come tomorrow, she'd have even better odds then she did last week. I don't know why I am stuck on that, but crazy things happen and you just never know. Friday and Saturday will be spent helping some friends run a rummage sale that we have quite a bit of stuff in. I love getting rid of clutter...and with the "lists" that I've been working on, there is a lot of it now GONE. My favorite. :) Adam will be thrilled when I tell him he better find a golfing date for Saturday morning. I actually already told him this, but I think he might have forgotten. Jessie wants to go out so I best get up so I actually get through my clothes for the rummage sale. Tomorrow night I'm playing "Susie Homemaker" and making another round of Amish Friendship Bread and then puppy chow for the rummage sale. I'm tired just thinking about it...
