This has definitely been a busy week for Ian and myself.
Monday I went and got a hair cut. I went even shorter this time because my hair is like on steroids. She couldn't believe how quickly my hair grew out since just a few weeks ago. I like it. It is easy to deal with, but I do miss having long long hair. I've been wanting to grow it out for years but just do not have the patience. Maybe once I get into the swing of this whole baby thing I will give it a go.
Tuesday we had a doctors appointment. We did not have our usual doctor which did not make me happy. I will be glad to see my doctor in a few weeks. My next appointment is the 19th and then we start going in every week from there. The appointment wasn't anything exciting. Even though I am 34 weeks, my belly was measuring 30 weeks which is odd because at 32 weeks I measured...32 weeks...so....my belly shrunk? Hmm...interesting....
Tuesday night I ended up working. Well sort of working. It doesn't feel like work. I took the kiddo I watch to his Special Olympics swim practice. My little buddy can swim! He did such an amazing job and I had a blast watching him swim. After swim practice we met up with Ian for some dinner at Ihop.
Wednesday I had a lunch date with a girl friend who lives out in Blue Springs. She is such a fantastic person and I had such a great time spending the afternoon with her and her two-year-old daughter. Just watching her and her daughter made me so excited for motherhood. After our afternoon together, I ended up swinging by the Home Depot to pick up some shrubs. I may or may not have ended up telling a cashier that I didn't want to buy their ugly shrubs, so I left with just potting soil. In my defense, the cashier was way rude, I was exhausted and hormonal, and he wouldn't listen to me when I kept telling him that the shrubs were on sale 4 for $10.00.
Thursday Ian and I ran some errands (including going and buying shrubs). After running errands we enjoyed a dinner date at Olive Garden. We went to the one by the Legends which has been known in the past for its horrible service, but they really have improved. The whole staff was so helpful and with-it. I could see the servers were all helping each other out. It was just really a good experience and I am glad to see the improvement. After our date, we headed to our child birthing class. I won't bore you with the details but here is a picture of what went down:

Today Ian and I attempted to tackle our long to-do list. We got all of our shrubs and roses planted along our fence line to discourage the dog from digging there. Once we get the rock in, I really think it will help. Ian also seeded and fertilized our lawn. We are keeping our fingers crossed for a nice green lawn this summer! I tackled some house cleaning and laundry. I also did some work in Haley's room. It's coming together well:
Tomorrow is my BABY SHOWER! I can't wait. I am looking forward to spending the afternoon with all of my family and friends! Three of my girl friends are throwing the shower for me, and I just feel so blessed to have such phenomenal people in my life to help me welcome baby Haley into this world!
Sunday Ian and I have to wake up bright and early for an appointment with the hospital. We will be taking care of any paper work and discussing our vision of labor and delivery with the coordinator there. After that, we will of course go to church. Then after church I have a date with some of the ladies at the church to fix some meals for my girl friend who is also pregnant but is on bed rest.
Luckily, even with all this crazy busyness, I still have had enough energy to manage. I hear the last few weeks of pregnancy are pretty brutal, so I am trying to take advantage of the time I have now....
Until next time.....
