Last Friday, Shad and I went to a local high school football game with a friend of his who is a teacher/coach at this particular school. It was more of just an excuse to just get out of the house for the evening since I have no opinion about this particular school's football team.
On Saturday, Shad, his dad, a friend of Shad's and I all went over to Knoxville. The guys all went to the Vols football game while I watched it on tv at my dad's house. Patti gave me a bunch more hand-me-down clothing and other stuff. Thanks to yard sales and her grandson, Cooper, I'm quite certain she's going to have me stocked up on clothing for Christopher until he's at least a year old, if not longer! She also gave me some bibs, a Baby Einstein video, an activity set and a Johnny Jump Up.
On Sunday, I ended up having a pregnancy moment and decided not to go to church since I couldn't find anything to wear. I have a few things, but I didn't like how they looked on me, so I just didn't want to get dressed up. Instead, while Shad went by himself, I went to the grocery store, came home, cleaned out the refrigerator, put groceries away and then washed my car. Yes, I DID have quite a bit of energy to start with, but by the time I was half-way done with my car, I was TOTALLY exhausted!!! I guess I won't be doing that again! But my car sure needed cleaning and there was no telling when it would get done otherwise.
After Shad got home from church, we went down to my mom's to have a late lunch with her and my aunt. I was informed during that time that our Sunday School class has set my baby shower for Saturday, October 15, which will be at our teachers' house. It'll be co-ed, but more like our normal get-togethers since the guys don't want anything to do with an actual baby shower. We'll socialize, eat, socialize some more and then have cake, ice cream and open gifts toward the end. I'm really looking forward to it!
So far, this work week has been very hectic! Today's been the first somewhat slow day in a long time! At least I haven't been bored, though.
This Saturday will be the first game that I won't be going to Knoxville; I've decided to stay home for this one. I really need to finish the nursery, so will probably spend a good part of the day working on that. I just really want to get it done and out of the way!
Symptoms: Occasional heartburn and now some minor swelling of my feet, ankles and fingers. I've taken my rings off and am wearing them on a necklace. Other than that, though, everything's good!
My next appointment is Thursday, October 13 for a regular check-up.
