Three weeks people….my due date is officially in three weeks!!! Where did the last 37 weeks go?? I feel like I can almost say that we’re ready though. I have a few things I NEED to accomplish, but really, by Monday, I feel like he could come at any time and I would be OK with it. Now granted, I have a TON of appointments in the next 15 days, so if he would wait until I am all finished with those, it would be fabulous! Next week I have an appointment with a pediatrician on Tuesday, a Drs appointment and book club on Wednesday, a Vet appointment on Thursday and a facial on Friday. (I REALLY don’t want to miss that Friday appointment!) Then, the week after, I have landscapers coming on Monday and Tuesday (GRASS IS FINALLY GOING IN!!!!), grooming for the dog on Tuesday, and a hair appointment on Wednesday (that’s another one I really don’t want to miss) So, while life would be fine if I had to cancel some of these appointments, I really hoping not to. And besides, my sister has already told me that she thinks I am going to go past my due date…..I think she just said this because SHE went past her due date.
It was the Third Annual Celebration of The Salomification of Meg this month….aka our third wedding anniversary…St Patty’s day. There really wasn’t much celebrating involved this year. Normally, I cook us a huge fancy dinner, recreating our wedding reception dinner…but I just wasn’t into doing that this year….wonder why??? I did get up early and cook Rell an anniversary breakfast. Then, that night we had our last child birth class….ohhhh exciting. Then, we both proceeded to get really sick. It was just allergy related, but since I cant take any good medicine, it was pretty miserable. Luckily, I didn’t seem to have it as bad as Rell…his actually turned into Bronchitis! Yuck! All better now, but it was a pretty miserable week and a half. We were planning on going out to a nice dinner for our anniversary, but since we were sick, it never happened. I guess this is what happens the longer you are married. I pledge to return to tradition next year though and cook our fabulous dinner!
My friend Jodi came in town for a visit last weekend. It was really nice to just have some girl time and spend some time with her before baby came. Not a whole lot to do in this town…..shopping and eating…that was pretty much our weekend. We went to Old Navy, and while we were checking out, the cashier said “Oh how far along are you?” I told her I had about four weeks to go. She then proceeded to tell me that she had an eleven month old. Then, she looked at me and Said “You’re so BIG!!” WTF???? Jodi and I just looked at her like “did she really just say that!??!?!” Because really, who says something like that???? And she should know better, considering she had a baby less than a year ago! I don’t get why people think it is ok to say WHATEVER pops into their head. Most people have a filter between their brain and their mouth that prohibits them from saying whatever they’re thinking….I mean, I think a lot (and I do mean A LOT) or mean or inappropriate thoughts about people….but I keep them to myself….or at least only share them with friends while gossiping…..but I know better that to tell someone, most especially a perfect stranger, whatever pops into my head about their outfit/weight/intelligence level/fill in the blank…… I just don’t get what happened to some people that they don’t have that filter. And I know certain people who seem proud of it….they claim, “Oh, I just say whatever is on my mind…that’s who I am” HELLO – THAT IS NOT ALWAYS OK!!!
OK – enough of that Rant….stupid Cow at Old Navy got me all worked up. I should have just said to her “Really, 11 months ago…because you’re still sporting a bunch of baby weight. I would have guessed you JUST had your baby…..” damn filter prevented me from saying that……
Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it’s already so close!! Here’s to hoping with you that he will cooperate with your schedule…but seeing as how he is a HE you might not get so lucky
