This weekend
This weekend we have a friend flying in from Alabama (as in, he's a pilot and is flying in) and then we are all going up to Duluth for the day to have dinner with Dave's parents. I'm a little nervous for the flight since it's such a small plane. It should be ok but.......
Cute text
Last night I got the cutest/gibberish text from my grandma last night. It was mostly incoherent, but it was a lot of cute stuff about how she loves us and that we will be great parents and she can't believe her first grandchild is also having her first great grandchild. It really caught me off guard b/c the English was pretty hard to read and it came from an unknown number (I didn't have her cell number in my phone). I sent it to mom and she said it reminded her of this sweet she wrote for dad. I couldn't really read it from the photo but it was some sweat letter to "her first born". I never have really seen grandma as much of a sentimental - so it was cute.
Essential Oils
I just came from a meeting at my midwife's house regarding essential oils. A lot of cool stories were shared about how oils have come in handy. I believe in a lot of their uses, but so far i'm not ready to jump in b/c of the cost. However, i think once we actually have a baby/child I think it will become a lot more beneficial to their health.
- you can use them to make safe all purpose cleaners for their toys and other things
- kids prefer them over medicine b/c they don't have to taste it and it generally smells nice
- if they still are fussy, you can sneak the oils onto their feet when they are sleeping
- it might even help prevent some of the many illnesses they will acquire in day care
The starter kit I want is $550, so yeah that's pretty pricey - so we'll see.
Next trip
Next weekend we are going to Arizona to see Melissa!!!!!!!!!!!
Hot liquid
Tuesday at lunch I dumped super hot tea onto my hand while at at a work lunch. My hand is ok (minus some general heat sensitivity) but it looked really bad right when it happened and I had to excuse myself to the bathroom so I could go and cry!
Well, today at the oils meeting, some B dumped hot coffee over and got it on my foot. So now I have hot coffee on my foot! Once again, nothing bad..but come on!
Weight
I lost about 4 lbs right away when I got pregnant and have been very consistent with it ever since. Well this week I jumped up 2 lbs. not a big deal, but it's my first weight gain. I don't think i look big but I have a very tiny friend who at 28 weeks only looks at big as I do now..or even did a few weeks ago!
Target
I had some time to kill while waiting to meet a friend for dinner so I decided to walk around the baby section at target and actually learned a few things:
- they sell A LOT of stuff you don't need, but once you see it you think that you do
- infant mattresses are uncomfortable
- breast pumps look scary
- bobbies are pricier than I had anticipated
- they make mesh baby bumpers to help prevent suffocation
- i'm even more convinced that I can use a puma bag for my diaper bag
