Well, today is the last day of the 2011 Spring Break Week for me.....a little sad knowing that I HAVE TO get up in the morning, but knowing its only for 31 more days will somehow make it easier. We have accomplished a lot this week including some much needed (and often required) nap times!
We celebrated Good Friday and Easter in NMB....Friday was a day of the Pancake House for lunch, napping and shopping. For some VERY odd reason I NEVER like breakfast food, but recently have had cravings for bacon, eggs, and french toast, weird!!!! Mom and I did some more shopping on Saturday...she is a VERY bad influence on me....and I can only imagine the comment I will get for this statement ;) The Bunny found us at the beach and left lots of goodies for all of us...and over 70 eggs in the yard! Bryson was most impressed by some dinosaur egg that the Grand Bunny found for him (sadly this was probably the cheapest thing the bunny purchased and it had the MOST impact)...it has now hatched and we have a dinosaur named Tyler living with us. We had an excellent Easter lunch and then packed up and headed home.
Monday brought CLEANING.....UP AND OUT! I had many cleaning goals for the week and they are about 90% complete at this point, minus some yard work that is impossible to do with the unpredictable weather. My helper, Bryson, helped me organize and clean out all 5 closets and we washed sheets and curtains. Bryson is a little hoarder, which really annoys me b/c he can find a reason to keep everything like his Gays does with irons and his Pa-Pa does with vacuums (can't wait for comments on that too, Gays). Thankfully, legos distracted Bryson while I hid stuff in my pile and then packed it away for the Goodwill.
Tuesday I finally went back to the Y for a workout...I had been hesitant since the doctor ordered another u/s and I "thought" she may try and come early, but after last weeks pics everything looked good and "stable" per the doctor. So I decided, b/c I have wanted to so badly, to walk on the treadmill and do some light weights! I walked a mile, did some weights and Bryson and I went for a swim! It was GREAT and we went back today!!!!!! The lifeguard at the Y, did get on my nerves though and he obviously didn't realize that I am a hormonal, pregnant woman and that I really had no time for his comments, but he realizes now!!! Bryson and I had lunch with Brooks at Sub Express, did some grocery shopping and cooked dinner...all in all another productive day!
So today was the unanticipated DIABETES test....I have to say that I think either I honestly blocked the whole think out when I was pregnant with Bryson or it wasn't that bad and I just don't remember it. I took one last bite of an oreo cookie last night about 7 and had nothing else till 11:00 am this morning. Brooks and Bryson went with me to my 9:30 appt and she handed me the nice sized bottle of red, yummy (yeah right) SUGAR! I drank it and it didn't kill me, but it did give me heartburn b/c everything these days does that. We heard Britan's heartbeat, checked my weight.....which was only 1 pound difference from a month ago and 13 total, got the calming answer that everything on the u/s looked good and that there should not be anymore necessary and then we waited for the nice lady to stick my hand and take 15 minutes to withdrawal blood from my poor right hand! Once that event was over we had lunch at Little Pigs (I love summer and spring break lunch dates) and then Brooks and I had a nap while Bryson entertained himself ;) This afternoon we worked out at the Y and ended with dinner at the Cracker Barrel with some new friends!! Another successful Spring Break day!
We are now on the main stretch to SUMMER VACA and I am EXCITED to see that come quickly for MANY, obvious reasons! I hope that you had an Excellent Easter, Super Spring Break, and Fabulous Family Time like the Derting's have!! :) I now pray for all of us and these stupid storms that are headed our way AGAIN and I pray that they will stay away and not cause anymore destruction to families and homes near and far!!! Sleep tight tonight and be safe....Much Love to You! Alysha
