Wednesday morning I cat-napped during the morning again as my son played so nicely. Afterwards I cleared out the pantry of stale misc snacks (mainly chips & bread). During my son’s nap, I finally managed to find the energy to fold the laundry & got the shirts ready to hang later (without wrinkling in the meantime).
Then my son went with me to my 32 week (i.e. 8 months) appointment with my OBG’s office. My uterus is measuring 33 inches, my weight is right on par & the baby has turned (possibly temporarily) head down leaving its butt sitting in my chest area. During the appointment, my son behaved very well & enjoyed hearing the play-by-play of what the nurse was doing (feeling the baby, listening to heartbeat, etc). Then he wanted a turn for the nurse practitioner to examine his boo-boo after she was done seeing me. He was very proud of his stickers afterwards.
For dinner, we ate outside since it was so nice. We had steak with fried mushrooms & onions in addition to lemon & chive potatoes. After dinner, our son loved jumping on the large trampoline with Daddy & when I ‘scared’ them a couple of times. One time I caught him by surprise so much so that he actually did a somersault on the trampoline. (LOL)
While Daddy ran out for groceries, I was treated to a half hour massage which was very nice. When we got home, I put away groceries, cleaned out the fridge while Daddy took our son on a bike ride. He loves to ride Daddy’s bike with him & go fast. He’s such a thrill seeker! When they came back, our son brought me flowers he told Daddy he wanted to pick himself from the field for me. It was so sweet! Before bed, he watched a movie as I did the first load of dishes & then Daddy & I started clearing off the dining room table (which has become a storage area of late).
Daddy put our son to bed & worked while I organized & cleared the basement area for our dinner party tonight. Then it was off to bed for me for we have a busy day tomorrow cleaning up the house for company & Daddy has an early conference call.
After spending the entire morning upstairs unpacking suitcases & doing laundry on Thursday, I spent the remainder of the day cleaning the entire house. After not being up for house cleaning the past… well in forever… it needed cleaning from top to bottom. I got everything clean with the exception of the office & guest room/hubby’s office. After work my hubby helped by getting the cooler ready, starting dinner, setting up the roombas in each room, cleaning the litter, setting up croquet outdoors, helping with the dining room table, etc. Even our son helped me set up the pack-n-play for the 1 year old coming. As our friends arrived, it was like old times & we all caught up on each other’s lives. Everyone had a good time as the kids played together. It wasn’t until 11:30 pm that things closed up & then I spent the next half hour cleaning up (which was very little due to everyone’s help throughout the evening) while my hubby put my son to bed. It’s been forever since we had friends over (I can’t even remember the last time – probably New Years in December 2005 or March 2006 for my son’s birthday) but it was worth all the hard work. We had just enough food with the yummy dishes people brought to share. I wish I could do this more often. It’s nice that we can all catch up with each other after not seeing each other in forever.
