I will preface this with: I need a nap.
Now on to the regularly scheduled blog post.
5 a.m., 5:45 a.m.-- no matter how many numbers or the combination of numbers after the 5, it's all the same and quite frankly I would LOVE to wake up and not see the 5 on my clock. Connor on the other hand must really looooovee seeing this number as it seems to be the only hour worth waking up in for the past 4 days. And this mama is getting tired.
Between the charley horse's in my leg, the constant tossing and turning and just plain being hot all... the... time; I am over pregnancy. But there remains at least 14 weeks (give or take) of the pregnancy bliss we ALL feel. Yeah, like going to the dentist. We all love having white, straight teeth but only a handful have a pleasant experience at the dentist. Having a toddler and being pregnant is like having the dentist and the hygienist both with their hands in your mouth AND asking you to tell your life story. A challenge. As I type this my child is screaming from his bedroom because he just doesn't want to take another F***** nap. Well, sweet, stubborn pain in the behind, you won't be coming out of that room until you do take a nap because I refuse to deal with the hitting and screaming tantrums that you blessed the entire Little Monster's class with this morning. Tough luck.
As you can imply from my very sarcastic and quite frank paragraph this mama woke up on the wrong side of the bed. At too early of a time.
****20 minutes intermission while I go to try and persuade C to take a nap*****
This post will be short simply because I cannot get that toddler to nap no matter what tactics I am currently trying.
This past week was hectic to say the least.
Friday- Yaya and Grandad came for a visit. Kyle and I went to a Phillies game that lasted 14 innings and well past midnight.
Saturday- International Philadelphia Beer Fest- lots of beer, sunshine and me as the DD while Yaya watched C. I think the guys had fun, I enjoyed the food.
Sunday- C, Yaya and I went to do some Strawberry and Rhubarb picking. Kyle and Grandad brewed some beer. Grandad went home.
Monday- I had my 26 week check-up. Things look fine and apparently I am gaining weight adequately. HA. Yaya watched C while I went, then we left to drive to Maryland. That evening we had dinner with my parents.
Tuesday- I vacuumed and washed the cookie mobile. Spent the afternoon relaxing and playing and then in the evening attended my Little Sister's Graduation. A long, hot ceremony later we decided to go to Friendly's for some Ice Cream. Finally pulled my covers over for a long night sleep at 1130.
Wednesday- We got up, ate some breakfast and drove home to see daddy.
Thursday- I had a dermatologist appointment (lectures about sunscreen yipee, but otherwise fantastic mole check). Little Monster's class and now we aren't leaving the house for the rest of the day. Okay maybe I will just because I need to get some potting soil for my tomato plants ha! Maybe tomorrow.
Like I said. It's been a busy week and I am feeling quite exhausted. I would love to be napping right now but chances are very high that a nap isn't going to happen for either of us. Thankfully, or not, Kyle has a later afternoon inspection which means he will be getting home late and won't have to put up with any of today's shenanigans.
Here are a few pictures to keep you entertained.
And until next week... a hopefully much better blog post from a more energetic mama!
