Odd things - Week 35

Oh boy things changed this week!! We moved, X started grade one, I got my delivery date, my sister and her husband moved into the same house as us. It's continuing to be a crazy adventure for sure.
I did forget to tell you though, while on vacation I found out for sure that I'm huge. We went to Swiss Chalet, which I was TOTALLY looking forward to, and I didn't fit. Really, all around it was a comical experience. When I told the hostess we needed a table for 10 she seriously stared her little table map for about 5 minutes. The restaurant was empty, but they didn't want to open extra sections, so she was trying to decide which booth built for 4 would work best. She ended up putting us in 3 separate booths, then the entertainment started. The old people (for that is who frequents Swiss Chalet the most) stared at me as I tried and failed to sit in the booth. I could fit sideways, but that would have meant eating over my shoulder! Not so great. So I asked for a chair and became a fire hazard at the end of one table. Nothing like feeling demanding! The next large party that came got the tables with chairs in the other section. Awesome.
On another note, here are some things I am looking forward to! Sleeping on my stomach! I have no grand illusions of getting more sleep, just more comfortable sleep! Stretching and cracking my back! Being able to look behind me without standing up to turn completely around! Being able to get out of bed without plotting 3 or 4 movements ahead. I have 3 weeks and a day until my c-section. I'm already looking forward to getting home.
Speaking of home, I love our new place! I don't hear the highway anymore, and so far there are no neighbours pressing their noses up against my windows! We're obviously not totally unpacked yet, there are still boxes everywhere and laundry to be done, but I really like it. Also I'm excited to hang pictures! We weren't allowed anything on the walls in the last place. Boo to strange rules. I felt pretty useless during the move of course. M kept telling me to sit down, but that's just not the way I am usually when there's stuff to be done! I'm happy to be slowly doing things here though! I have finished a few loads of little girl laundry, next is laundry for people who are already born!
My lap top is on the fritz still, so no pictures, but I'll get some up soon! Promise!

  1. Ooo! I LOVED it once I was able to sleep on my stomach again! What a blessing! It'll still be a little bit tho, what with the whole c-section thing. But in a couple of months you'll be good to go! AHHHHHH!!! I can't wait to meet those girlies!
