update

on saturday i helped R put a firepit in our backyard. by "helped" i mean i used "the claw" to churn  up the soil for him to dig out - it worked quite well and he did all the heavy lifting :)  on sunday, we had thanksgiving lunch at church and then for supper we had some neighbours over for a weiner roast and enjoyed the 17 degree weather. in the evening i wrote a rough draft for my blog about how good i've been feeling lately.

i was going to publish it on monday, but i had to retract my words. i guess i overdid it. i was so exhausted yesterday. i got up at 10 am, had a large breakfast and was totally ready for a nap. i made myself stay up and do some laundry instead (i did get in a 2-hour nap later). and then i was ready for lunch by 12. what the? Baby's going through a growth spurt and sucking the life force out of me.


i've officially started my halftime position and i am so glad. i should be able to pick up some extra shifts if i want to, but this week i 'm really not minding only working two 12-hour nights.


i have been loving this stage though (with the exception of yesterday). i love my new belly. i love having more energy than i did all summer. and i LOVE all the little kicks and pokes and rubs that i'm feeling everyday and i love it when Daddy gets to feel some of Baby's kicks too.
