Two very busy days have been gotten through and I have to admit to a rather high level of exhaustion. We started our day early on Friday with my usual doctor’s appointment – weight up 2 lbs to 127.4 (yay!), bloodpressure fine, baby’s heart rate 144 and measuring on track. The doctor was fine with my glucose numbers and happy I had gained. Which puts us with our next appointment in 2 weeks – 36 weeks! Strep test and we start REALLY counting down time to baby! But a good appointment and thankfully a QUICK one.

After that we headed to H&W for our weekly fruit and veg run. Of course the boys had their apple a piece. Still not a great price on them and our tree in the backyard has nothing ready to be eaten. I am dying to get back to making applesauce. Trinity was more than glad to share the left over apple that whichever boy could not quite finish!

Mmm apples!

Friday evening a friend from college (Kathy) came over to visit and stayed until early this afternoon. The kids were very glad to have a visit from another aunty and I stayed up late myself visiting. I only see her 3 or so times a year so an overnight visit was a great treat!

After Kathy headed off we packed up and went to the baby shower for Baby Anna. I managed to finish off her sampler, nursing necklace and Ken edited and burned the photos we took of her at our mini shoot. I was not able to stay much longer than an hour – just too worn out. But it was nice to visit. I was the lucky one in charge of writing down the gifts. Baby Anna got a wee bit spoiled today I think! While I was doing that Ken took the kids and went to a nearby park (sorry no pictures) where the kids had a blast playing.

The favourite of our images!

The rest of today is earmarked for OUR shower preparations. Cleaning, some baking (for the kids), organizing and list making. I made up my calendar pages for the baby guesses so have discharged MY major responsibility. Decorating and such are set for tomorrow morning as is shopping. BUT that is not my responsibility thankfully!

Our plans are also attempting to include a quick trip to the 7-11 – apparently tomorrow is free slurpees and I figure that is definitely a good treat for the family… well except for me. (can you hear the pouting because I AM) They are just tiny 7.11 oz ones apparently but more than enough for each of this little crowd.

I don’t even want to THINK about the upcoming week… my plan is to enjoy tomorrow and then face Monday on Monday!
