Sometimes I really don’t get this child and how her so called schedule works. Night before last she slept just fine. She went down at 8pm, woke up at 12 for a feeding, and she was back down for good at 12:30am. She woke up around 6:30am, and I celebrated the fact that she actually slept during the night time hours. Yesterday she managed to spend a good bit of the day awake, and she took 3 naps. I thought maybe finally she was getting on a normal schedule.
Of course I was counting my chickens before they hatched. Last night we didn’t make it to bed until 3am. Sigh. She’ll get it right eventually, and I’m sure the fact that we’re staying in bed all day today really isn’t helping her schedule any.
Anywho we’ll keep working at it until she’s sleeping at night because once she’s got a good schedule established and she’s big enough to travel with we’re going to take a trip to visit our family in Florida, so I’ve been researching condos in destin fl. We could stay with our family, but it would have more of a vacation feel if we rented a condo. Plus with the baby I’d rather not impose. I’ve spent some time while I’ve been stuck in bed looking at our options and figuring out how much it’s going to cost so I can start putting money back for that and another trip we’re planning to take in the future.
Sometimes I really wish Hubby would discuss things with me before making plans with his friends. We both agreed sometime in the next 6 months it would be nice if I could get away with the girls for a few days while he goes off with the guys. We’re thinking of it as the last time we’ll be able to do that for awhile, so it’d be nice to enjoy some quality time with our friends.
We had discussed the fact that we should probably try to plan our little trips for the same weekend, and we shouldn’t go far away from home. Plus, I’d like to do it before I’m big as a barrel and in no mood to take a trip. I’ve been talking to a friend of mine about maybe going to Helen, GA for the weekend sometime before the end of July. That way I can still enjoy the trip, but I won’t be too far from home. I’ve been looking at Outer Banks rentals for months, but I know that’s a place Hubby and I want to go together, so I decided I wouldn’t take that away from him.
Oh no. Hubby apparently decided his trip has to be far away, and he’s already planned it out with his friends. They want to go to Vegas at the beginning of November so they can use a timeshare somebody they know owns.
I don’t care that he wants to go to Vegas, although that’s something we were kind of planning to do together, and I don’t care that they want to work it out to use the guy’s timeshare. What bothers me is the fact that they want to go in the beginning of November…when I’ll be on the verge of childbirth! What happens if I don’t hold out to the 26th, and I go into labor early? Does he think I really want my husband off on his “boys vacation” in Vegas?
He actually had the nerve to get pissy with me over the fact that I don’t want him to go on his trip that late in my pregnancy. I think I have a valid point, and I’m perfectly fine with him going on the trip if he does it at a reasonable time! If he’s going to be like that maybe I will go to the Outer Banks afterall!
Wow I can’t believe I’ve been away from the pc for so long, but it was well worth it. We had an awesome trip to DC, and it was great getting to see the family. This is the first time Hubby’s Mom’s entire family has been able to get together in quite a few years.
The memorial service at Arlington was beautiful, and now we can happily say Hubby’s Grandma has been reunited with his Grandpa. That’s one thing she’s longed for. I took lots of photos in Arlington as well as around DC, and I’ll share those as soon as I get a chance.
We left DC on Saturday, and we drove straight to Pigeon Forge. Hubby had never been there before, so we decided to end our trip with a day of go carts, shopping, and plain old fun. Of course the 7 hour car ride wasn’t fun, but I was able to catch a couple hours sleep. My body was totally exhausted after walking around DC all day Friday.
After grabbing a wicked sunburn Saturday while I watched the family enjoy the go carts that I couldn’t ride, we finally headed home last night. Now I’m just so thankful to be home, and I really wish I could spend all day in bed. Unfortunately I can’t because I’m about to walk out the door for my second prenatal exam.
Attention Tuesday…I plan to waste you. The unpacking can wait, but I need a day of rest to recover from the vacation!
I’m telling you I can’t wait until next week when I can finally sit down and relax for a few minutes without having to worry about what I”ve got to do next. Getting ready for this trip to D.C. is totally taking a toll on me.
My body began feeling it Thursday when we had a bit of a scare. I think I drove my doctor crazy with phone calls, but after 2 days of worrying everything turned out ok. We were both really scared for awhile, and we wondered if we were going to have to deal with another miscarriage, but in the end things worked out fine.
Now I’m trying to take things as easy as I can while still trying to get everything packed and ready to go while also getting the house presentable enough for my sister to house/pet sit while we’re gone. I know I can’t overdo it, but the house has also taken a toll this past week, and it’s a total wreck. I can’t leave the place looking like that even though I know she’ll probably spend a majority of her time right here on the pc looking up stuff like best weight loss pills.
Right now we’ve got to take the Blazer for an oil change and to the car wash then I’ve got to pick up more stuff I’ve forgotten to buy for the trip. Hopefully when I come back home I’ll have the energy to get some of this much needed cleaning done while I still have Hubby at home to help me.
Yeah I totally can’t wait until next week. I want to spend an entire day stretched out on the couch just relaxing.
