Friday after our appointment we started calling our parents and telling people, which took up a good portion of the morning. I immediately got to work, checking out newborn girl things online- and ohmigoodness is it overwhelming! We decided to have a relaxing afternoon instead of running out to shop (especially because it's slim pickings around here) and wrapped up the day with a cookout and movie. Get Him to the Greek was pretty funny, I would definitely recommend it.
Saturday we did house stuff and geared up to babysit for some friends so they could go out for their anniversary. We figured it would be good practice, so both D and I went. We watched a 4 year old girl and 2 year old boy...thank God it was two against two! Kids have so much energy- and they are both really good kids, it was just nice to have both of us there. It was also neat to see how D interacts with children. While I am the bigger pushover ("Hey, I want a popsicle too, so just eat a couple bites of dinner and we'll call it a day!") and better comforter, D is like a big kid himself, so he is great at getting their energy out and also enforcing the rules. He talks to kids like they are little adults, which I think is weird, but it definitely gets their attention! No one choked or ended up with any broken bones so the night was considered a success...although, I don't know if we plan on volunteering to babysit any time again soon. :)
Sunday we did more house stuff, gym, and got ourselves all ready for the week. We have one of D's ROTC buddies from college staying with us until he gets a place so we had another cookout and called it a day. Not too much going on around here, but it seems like we always have obligations whether they be for baby stuff or D's job, so we will take a lazy weekend whenever one presents itself!
This week is off to a great start. First- I know this goes on my Week 22 post, but I only gained half a pound this week! This is a big deal. It basically tells me that if I get my butt to the gym and make healthy food choices I will still gain weight, but not at the rapid 1.5 lbs a week that I had going on for the past few updates. I have been doing really well making time to get in some exercise every day lately, so it's really nice to see that it does make a difference.
Also, this is the first week in for-ev-er that we haven't had a single thing going on other than our regular work schedules. No Army dinners, no random visitors, or meetings. That should really help to keep us both on track and will be a nice break from the norm.
Like I said earlier, I will post Week 22 shortly, but you might have to wait on pictures until this evening. Deal? Also, I have got to show you all some of Baby M's gear that we will be ordering or have ordered so far. I'll leave you with the first thing we purchased because I like picture posts more than just words...
Isn't that the most precious thing you've ever seen? I sent the picture to D, expecting him to make fun of me and even HE told me it was adorable and to buy it immediately. I think the whole little girl thing has sunk in just a bit. :) He even mentioned later on in the day that he will probably have her wear it all Fall and Winter so her head doesn't get cold. Silly boy, don't you realize that she will have hats and bows in every color to match all of her outfits?
I'll be back in a little!
xo,
