Good ol Monday

Man, this morning I had to take Mike to school because, oh nevermind long story, but it so made me miss having to get out of the house and go to school or work and being in traffic. I know, sounds crazy, but I got to listen to my morning show I hadn't listened to in forever and it just made me miss my morning rituals. I am SO excited for Dylan to be here, but I'm also excited about getting back into the life of having a job. :) Ask me how I feel about it 3 months after I start working again and I'm sure it will be different, but that's how I feel now. hehe. Mike is headed out of town for the night to TN, I hate it when he has to go out of town. It's only for one night though atleast and I have 3 dogs to protect me.

This weekend was good. Friday we went to Chili's. That used to be our regular go to restaurant on the weekends. But I knew it would happen and it did, we wore ourselves out on Chili's. I'm sure my family is thankful for that. But, we went back to see what was going on in our old hood and see if anything new and exciting was on the menu or anything. The bartender recognized us, how sad is that. haha. He said "long time no see". Mike and I are weird, we always wanted to find a place where we would walk in and it would be like "NORM" and everyone would know us. We haven't gotten to that point anywhere, but it made us smile knowing he knew us. haha. We need to get out more. Anyways, so we enjoyed ourselves, I sipped on my water while Mike had a few beers. We have done pretty good lately about not getting our usual chips and salsa everywhere either lately. We always felt so greasy and fat after we ate, but we stopped getting them and I actually enjoy my meal alittle more now. I usually would fill up on chips and salsa and not ever finish my meal. So then we came home and watched a movie and went to sleep. Then Saturday we babysat a few of our friends kids. Mike had a friend that passed away about 7 months ago or so. He and his wife had one baby boy and then she already had 3 girls. They live right around the corner so we try and help her out when she needs it. Mike mows her lawn every other weekend. He's such a good friend. Anyways 2 of her girls had a soccer game and it was SO cold out so we watched the little boy, Dalton who is is about a year or so, and then her oldest. Her girls are so good, they are so well behaved. Dalton stuck to his sister for about the first 30 mins but I finally got him to play with me and he started to get comfortable. I was changing his diaper and Cheyenne said "your doing a great job, you will be a great mom." It was really sweet. After they left Mike started on the nursery and it started looking good, but he hadn't done the detail work yet. I had to get out of the house so we went walking around this area that has a bunch of shops and restaurants and things. It was so pretty out. Then Sunday we went and let the dogs run and then Mike did the detail work on 2 of the walls in the nursery. It takes a long time because he has to hand do it with a tiny brush. We taped it off but our walls are textured so the paint runs through. So he got up there and spent hours touching it up. He said he will finish this week. It looks AWESOME though. I'm so excited. I am going to post some pics from this weekend in a bit.

Oh and I guess as far as the pregnancy goes, things are going good lately. I gained 7 lbs last time I went to the dr, putting my total weight gain of 16 lbs. I weighed myself on Friday and I hadnt' gained anything, I know I'm supposed to gain but since I gained so much last month I was alittle excited that I hadn't gained much so far in the past few weeks. Well, that good feeling went out the window when I weighed myself this morning and was + 3lbs!! WHAT? SERIOUSLY?? I don't understand this weight thing right now and where the weight is going. I am now in my 3rd trimester and almost 7 months pregnant. My baby website says the baby weighs almost 2 lbs now. That's AWESOME, but where are the other 17lbs that I have gained going?? haha. I can still wear all of my old pants but with a belly band thing. is it 17 lbs of water weight? geez! oh well. I'm trying not to let it get to me, but it's hard. I just think about gaining a pound these days and it goes up! haha. Oh well, I'm just going to keep walking and eating the best I can and hopefully it will all go away after he's here.
