The Weekend is Already Over. (22w4d)
Boy that weekend just blew by! I need another one just to recover!
Friday night my friend Breanne came over & we shopped for supplies & then came home & made all the household products. It went even better than I could’ve expected (except for how long it took us) and I think the products are going to work wonderfully. We were up pretty late making them - it had taken us quite a while just to purchase what we’d need. But it was so cool to see some of them come together - a real chemistry expiriment! The essential oils really make the difference by adding scents. I am going to spend all day Wednesday cleaning w/ them & can’t wait to see how well they work.
Saturday I was at my parents house & got to watch a show on the Discovery Health Channel called ‘Unconventional Births’ - wow!! It was a water birth, birth-center birth and a homebirth. Watching these women compared to the epidural births on a lot of TV shows was certainly an education. It was obvious they were in a LOT more pain - and very vocal w/ groans & grunts, but it was amazing to see them do it on their own, and after it was over the joy they had was far greater than the pain - and each of them - including one who had had an epidural birth before - said that they would definetly do it naturally again. I taped it & watched it later w/ Charlie. I think it was good for both of us to get a glimpse of what we are getting into - of course we’ll be in a hospital - so we won’t have all the advantages these women did, but hopefully it will work out fine.
In the afternoon I helped my sister-in-law prepare for a bridal shower & then in the evening Charlie & I took dinner to our friends Shanna & Jason who just had a baby on the 2nd. It was so great to see how well they are doing. Shanna looks great & little Micah is adorable. It was so fun to hold him and think that in just a few months we’ll have one of our own. I just can’t wait for Elliot to be here! And it’s nice that he’ll have little boys his age to be friends with.
Saturday night (rather morning) we picked up Charlie’s parents from the airport at 1:00 A.M. it was after 2:00 before I went to bed - I was so tired. We slept in till noon, but when I woke up I got sick & threw up. I think it must’ve just been from the sleep change b/c I’ve felt fine since.
Sunday I went to my friend Laura’s bridal shower - it’s so fun to still have friends getting married - it’s such a special time of life. I’m going to be the wedding coordinator & I’m really looking forward to it.
Charlie worked most of the weekend so we hardly got to see eachother. I missed him. But last night we got to hang out - to tired to do much but watch TV, but it was just nice to be home alone together after a long weekend.
