18 Weeks 4 Days

Shad and I had a very nice Easter. We ended up inviting my mom, aunt and father-in-law over for a ham dinner. Since Christopher's still too young, we didn't do any special baskets or treats. I guess we'll start that next year!

My 28th birthday was this past Thursday (April 20). Boy, was it a crummy day! We were supposed to meet some friends for a picnic lunch at the park, but it rained all morning, so we had to cancel. Then, one thing after another kept going wrong. Christopher was having a fussy day...I was in a funky mood...Christopher had his first fall...off the couch! (he's okay!). DH was supposed to have his first softball game double-header that evening, but it was rained out. I was actually looking forward to going and watching him. We were surprised that it was rained out since it had quit raining shortly after lunchtime and the sun came out for the rest of the afternoon. There must have been too much water standing on the field, though.

This past weekend was a very nice and relaxing weekend. On Saturday, Shad worked out in the yard while I kept busy with Christopher. That evening, we used our gift money at our long awaited visit to The Melting Pot. Oh my goodness!!! It was DELICIOUS!!! I'm normally stuffed by the time we get to dessert, but not this time. I actually made it all the way through the meal! I guess I have nursing to thank for that. I've been eating so much more lately...even more than when I was pregnant! Thankfully, I haven't had any problems weight-wise. I've been back down within about 5 pounds of my pre-pregnancy weight for quite some time now (and fitting quite nicely into my regular clothes!). I'm not concerned about losing those few extra pounds since I was trying to gain about that much before I got pregnant.

Sunday was just a lazy day after church. Since we're trying to save money, we've cut out our weekly after-church trips to La Siesta. Instead, we came home and Shad made leftover ham and greenbean casserole with mac & cheese. It's not the same as our usual, but it was still yummy!

Okay, Christopher's fussing, so it's time for me to go now.
