The weekend

This past weekend was just what I needed.  It was very low-key and relaxed and I got to spend it with some amazing friends.  We didn't do just a whole lot (pregnant women get extremely tired throughout the day!), but what we did do was fun.  We went to go see Inception (awesome movie, want to definitely see it again) and ate dinner, then went home and went to bed!  Saturday we, actually more Dena and Yvonne :) made a super yummy breakfast then we went to the outlet malls and got nothing but baby clothes, I can't wait until Yvonne finds out what she's going to have so we can go shopping again!!!  Then we treated ourselves to some ice cream and got a fabulous pedicure together, went "looking" at a little boutique...a little too pricey for us, then went home and Dena made a delicious dinner all on the grill.  Yvonne made us dessert, which by the way I have already come home and made for Colton and myself because I LOVE it.  She put butter, brown sugar and vanilla in a pan and then added bananas then poured it over vanilla ice cream...YUM!  I guess looking back I didn't make a single thing for us to eat, sorry girls.

 I would have had a much more relaxing weekend but as always when I'm off at work I'm never off, it really is a demanding job.  We had some stuff happen Friday that continued through Monday that was really wearing on me.  I kept wanting to give up and just go find another job, but my mother-in-laws words kept me going (thanks Loranne!), she said just remember this job is keeping you close to your baby.  Which I have to constantly tell myself that this is a job that really balances itself out.  I get to make my own schedule, I will be able to bring my baby with me, and it's a pretty fun job.  But on the flipside it is SO STRESSFUL!  Yesterday was one of the worst days I've had by far in my entire life and if I wasn't pregnant I would have been bawling at the end of the day.  I say "if I wasn't pregnant" because now that I am, I'm noticing a change in my hormones...for the better!  I've always been very emotional and would cry at almost anything, but now that I'm pregnant my hormones have seemed to level themselves out and I hardly cry at anything anymore.  It's very weird and opposite from what I've heard and read, but of course I'm sure after I deliver I'll be a sobbing mess again!
