Week 25- Girls Weekend???

Jan 6th- Jan 12th

Not much happened during this week as I was super busy with work and trying to meet the 15th deadline. Needless to say I worked at night from home to make sure everything got done in time. I was suppose to go to Beth's house on the 9th and come back on the 11th, but we got a winter storm and ended up having about 10 inches of snow and then an advisory not to travel. So to my sadness, I had to cancel my trip to Beth's house with the girls. The baby was going to spend time with Auntie Beth, Auntie Lauren, Auntie Pam, Auntie Molly and Aunt Jen. We were going to go to the spa and then go to a movie theater that had recliners and food service delivered to you so you didn't have to get out of your seat. How cool would that have been?! All the other girls made it to Beth's (some flew in and some drove from Chicago) and they canceled the spa day and just shopped on Saturday and then went to the movie. All of us Saint Mary's girls know how to shop.... our husbands all love us for this skill! I was bummed because it would have been the last girl's weekend before the little one is born. So next year Jeremy will spend alone time with the baby and I will do girls weekend. I think it will be important for us both to have alone time with our little one and have that bonding experience. My parents each spend time with me on our special days still to this day... I have shopping spree day with mom and then dad and I usually do an educational/sport event....depends what we are in the mood for. I plan on carrying this down with our little one. It will be interesting to see what Jeremy will decide to do for these alone days with our little one.

The little one definitely has nights and days mixed up. When I get home from work, I usually watch the news/Jeopardy on the couch and the baby starts to move around. The baby really makes an appearance when I go to bed. The little one loves to move around and I just love it. I am sure that as the baby grows more and more this might be uncomfortable at night, but for right now mama is still getting sleep.

This week the baby received a gift from Aunt Lisa B. - lullaby CD's which is going to come in handy! I can't wait to introduce the baby to all the nursery rhymes and see the expressions on the little ones face!
