The Recap<\/span>

So the weekend was busy, but I did take time to relax, too.  Here’s the scoop…<\/p>\n

Friday<\/span>:  I did make it to my parents’ house, and I helped cut green beans.  (I’d guess my mom has canned all weekend.)  I was quite a bit tense from the rear-end “nudge” I got on the way down.  The quick version: I was first at the red light.  Light turned green.  I roll forward, see the ambulance coming into the intersection, stop.  The lady behind me doesn’t see ambulance, doesn’t stop.  She really wanted it to be my fault.  It wasn’t.  <\/p>\n

Anyway, thankfully we weren’t going at all fast, but it still freaked me out a bit.  After all…I’ve never been pregnant before…I don’t have a clue what should concern me!  So I was just a bit on the emotional side all the rest of that day.  I drove home about 4:00, and Eric and I had dinner on the couch (ham sandwiches) and watched The Incredibles<\/span>.   Also, sometime in the middle of the night (after my nightly jaunt to the bathroom), my rational side kicked back on, and between that and some real, faith-based prayer (choosing not to be afraid is much easier said than done), I stopped being so fretful.  <\/p>\n

Saturday<\/span>:  Okay I did fret a bit on and off throughout the weekend, mostly because I had more aches and pains than usual.  Of course, that could just be because I’m 18 weeks along with twins, but I would’ve preferred it didn’t happen the day after being rear-ended!  So on Saturday, I did some chores and stood too much.  I realized this when I was walking around the grocery store, so I sat on the couch and read a book<\/a> for a couple of hours.  Then we went to a cookout for the evening which was lots of fun.  And I didn’t have to cook dinner!  Lovely!<\/p>\n

Sunday<\/span>: Only one unusually hard tightening sensation in my abdomen all day.  That made me feel better.  And of course, on Sundays, I do very little anyway, so that probably helped!  We went to church, headed home for a meatloaf dinner, then goofed off for the rest of the day.  Eric finished clearing out the babies’ room so we could vacuum and clean the carpets.  I did a lot of looking online for baby things.  We read some, watched some television, and made homemade pizza for supper. <\/p>\n

Oh!  And about 7:00, our doorbell rang.  It was our next-door neighbor.  She wanted to know if I’d want her summer maternity clothes, which she will never wear again and doesn’t want to pack\/store when they move in a couple of months.  Um….yes!  So she brought me over at least $100 worth of name-brand maternity clothes and wouldn’t take anything for them.  It was such a helpful gesture, and now I have clothes, but didn’t have to spend any money on them.  I must think of something nice to say thank you.<\/p>\n

Today’s agenda is somewhat vague.  I have a load of laundry I should do.  Other than that…no idea.   Happy Monday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
