Week 26

I'm glad I do this blog. For the past few weeks i've been thinking of skipping b/c there isn't really much to write about. however, when i take a moment to really think about it, I have relatively a lot to say - it may not be that important, but it might be interesting later.

• We held our first rummage sale to help make room for baby. We only made about $200, but we were able to get rid of a number of large items. Running the rummage was pretty boring, but it was kind of nice to get a chance to get the know the neighbors a little bit more. they invited us over to their house for a BBQ, it was surprisingly fun.
• Speaking of making money, I decided to keep the rug and of course right as I do, I get a few more inquires. However, there's probably a good chance these would have fallen through too.
• I had put an ISO (in search of) for that fabric and someone found and it told me! So, I went to 2 different joann fabrics and was able to get 3 yards of the stuff :) so, I think i'll pass on buying the stuff from that lady and just try to make the stuff myself.
• my belly is really getting big. I think this weekend i'll have to give in and go get some maternity tops. This morning I dug into the bag of clothes that Sarah sent me and wore one to work. I didn't feel comfortable in it, I don't like the style, and it very much looks like a maternity shirt - so much so that the ladies at work mentioned something. They asked if it was a maternity top b/c they have been noticing that I haven't really been wearing anything that looks maternity. My boss thinks it's cute.
• The RSVP's for my shower were due...with quite a few missing responses (in either direction). only 50% of people responded, and a few of those were follow-ups my mom had to chase after the due date.
• I have another sinus infection coming and literally just got over one! However, I remembered that I had some breathe oil blend that I thought i would try diffusing at night and in the shower and putting it under my nose - and I don't know if it's a coincidence, but it really seems to be working! I've totally noticed a difference. I've only had a sample of the stuff, so today I picked up a full bottle. Hopefully this will keep away any more infections for the rest of this pregnancy!
• I have been experiencing quite a bit of stiffness in my hips that only seems to happen when I try to stand up after sitting down for maybe 1/2 hour or more. It takes a few minutes for it to clear up but on a few occasions I haven't even been able to stand up straight right away.
