The Requisite Recap…

Friday: On Friday, I think I mentioned that I wasn’t sure what I would do to fill the day.  As it turned out…not much!  I did work some on the computer, but as for chores, etc., well, I got my bed made.  That’s about all I managed on Friday.  I really thought I’d be more up to working, but it just wasn’t to be.  That evening, Eric went to a hockey game with his brother, and I hung out on the couch and knitted.  The babies & uterus were extremely active that night, though, so I didn’t mind not doing much.  I watched MythBusters and then flipped over to the presidential debate.  But after about a half-hour of the blather, I wanted to beat my head against a wall, so I found something else.  Eric got home around 10:00.

Saturday:  The morning was pretty low-key, but I did get the dishwasher loaded.  And of course there was XangaFest in the afternoon.  My sister and I went together (thanks again for driving, Karen!), and we had a great time.  Thanks to Beki, Gail, Marla and everybody who made it so great!  Also, Gail clued me in to which of my belly’s activities are contractions, so that was fantastically helpful!  Thanks, Gail!! 

Since XangaFest was held in our hometown, we left a bit early and headed to my parents’ house to say hello to everyone there, including Chris & Deb (and the girls, of course).  Deb is looking great!  We sat around, talked, and laughed and laughed.  It was a really great afternoon.  Karen and I stopped at WalMart (where Karen introduced me to the wonderful world of baby food ) on the way home, and then I crashed for the rest of the evening with my husband.

Sunday: I was having trouble singing in church yesterday.  I can’t get a full breath very often anymore, which makes singing a bit more challenging.  But then baby boy was dancing to the music…on my bladder.  Apparently, he’s musically inclined already!   Also, I am getting a lot more comments from random people about how close I must be to having “this little one” – especially from kind little old ladies at church.  The looks I get when I say it’s twins are quite amusing, I must say!

After church, I made pies for small group, then dinner, then finished the second pie, but my feet hurt too much to finish loading the dishwasher.  So I sat down for an hour, read the paper, and knitted some more.  Then I finished the dishes.  We had small group in the evening, and afterwards, I watched the old Parent Trap movie just to unwind.

And that was the weekend.  Today I have no major plans, but I do have a number of little things I could do.  So I will probably work on them.  And other than that…we shall see!

Happy Monday!!

  1. I remember one of my babies liking to dance on my bladder…My son sat on it for the last 5-6 weeks!  It actually made me miss the leaking water the day I went into labor.

  2. Someone asked me the other night at a dinner if I had about a month to go – I WAS LIKE – TRY 3 MONTHS.

    Thanks lady 😉

    Glad you had fun at Xangafest 😉

  3. Saw you in the picture from xangafest.  Glad you had a great time.  I’m so happy to hear the news that Deb is home and sounds like she is doing pretty good.  I am keeping the family in my prayers!!!

  4. Sounds like a nice balanced weekend – some fun, some getting things done, some relaxing. Like Holly, I’m so glad Deb is continuing to improve. I’ll keep praying for her.
