This is the day I became a Mom, 5 years ago.
Not much going on here really, which is why I haven't posted. Well, we've been busy, but nothing exciting. We made a trip to Lockport to see Doug for a weekend at the end of April. And in driving 6 hours by myself 7 months pregnant, I realized something. It is not comfortable anymore to drive that long. So the trip to Pekin I was planning for the end of May after Tristan got out of school, got moved up to the first weekend in May. I figured there is no way I could make another 6 hour trip a month later with me and the baby being bigger. He is not happy being squished for a long drive. So we've made a couple trips, I did A LOT of shopping in Pekin. I bought my own Mother's Day gift, a new video camera. Our other one is 8 years old and looks and acts like it. The new one is so nice and little. And I've gotten to use it at a T-ball game and Tristan's school program. His program was very cute. They showed off all they learned this year and it was a Mother's Day thing too. They made little picture frames, a cute picture, and all the Mom's got a flower. And they sang a cute little "I love you Mom" song that had tears in my eyes. I wasn't the only one tearing up though, but I can always blame it on the hormones. I mean I literally can cry over stupid commercials now.
And in other semi-big news, I'm moving! A couple houses down the street. To one of the renovated ones. For as long as they took and all that, they did turn out pretty nice. You lose some room, you gain some in other places. I get a 10x10 walk in closet, another full bath, a nicer kitchen, a laundry room (instead of the washer and dryer being right across from the fridge in the kitchen), and a breakfast nook which will be our office. So the nice thing is now the baby will have a bedroom. Really nice thing, because Doug is gone and I'm pregnant, they are moving me, I don't have to do it. Just hopefully I can move sometime this week. I just want to get it done with and I'm dying to nest. And I can't nest until I move. I remember going through this with Tristan and it was weird even to me. But I just felt like everything needed to be clean and organized and done, NOW! And I'm feeling that way again, just can't do anything about it yet.
Pregnancy news, everything is going good. The baby is growing great and kicking like crazy. He is going to be one strong little bugger, he kicks hard! Still no name yet, if Doug would only agree to what I like, this would be settled. A month and a half to go, woo-hoo!
