Good-bye, Weekend!

It turned out to be a surprisingly enjoyable weekend, although I can't honestly say I'm 100% recovered from my bug.

Saturday we did a small, small amount of shopping in the city, before going over to my in-law's place. We had a little visit, got ready to go out and left for the ballet. Addy wasn't the best girl for her Grandma (poor teething baby), but I think Velvet enjoyed her evening with her anyways.

We went out to dinner at Chianti's and just barely made it from there to the Jubilee in time for the ballet. We were seconds from missing the first act, but we made it and the 3 of us enjoyed in immensely (although it was sweltering hot in there).

We spent the night in the city because we were all tired and didn't feel like a long car ride home. Plus, the idea of waking a sleeping baby in the midst of teething was not exactly appealing.

This morning we had a big breakfast at Jamie and Velvet's (or I guess I should say Addy, Mom and Jamie did...I was still not feeling very well) and then hit the road. We stopped in Veg at Walmart to do a bit of shopping and were home by mid-afternoon.

Jamie goes on nights this week, but Friday is their last day before they go on break for Christmas. Addy and I will have him all to ourselves until January 2nd.

Speaking of Christmas, it's only 9 days away. I am no longer enjoying the anticipation. It seems like there has been a ton more work that usual this year, and I am just ready for the day to come already. I'm looking forward to spending this Christmas at my mom's and not having to play the part of the hostess. Jamie, Velvet and Richard are coming out too, so that will be nice, and it sounds like Charlie might be there too, which would be great.

Tomorrow I will be 31 weeks into this pregnancy. 9 weeks from my due date, although I have a feeling this baby will be arriving before then. I am beginning to feel very done with this pregnancy. That may be due to the rough week I have had, or it may just be that I have basically been pregnant for a year and a half and want to not be pregnant for awhile. Each time a stranger (or someone who just doesn't know) says to me "Well it won't be very long now!" I groan inside (or sometimes aloud). I feel very large. This baby belly of mine is protruding like crazy. My poor body is definitely feeling the strain of the pregnancy. Is it done yet?
