Day Off!

I love a good long weekend.  It means that instead of spending just 2 days together with Tyler, I get an extra day to not be all alone all day long.  It's pretty awesome.

Last night wasn't too awesome though.  I woke up at around 2 with a headache and I couldn't get back to sleep for hours.  I was kind of a mess but Tyler made me feel better and we were back sleeping 2 hours later.  Not the best way to spend the middle of the night, that's for sure.

I woke up this morning earlier then I thought I would.  It was 10:30ish, which I know isn't that early, but considering I was awake for most of the night, I was surprised.  And still tired.  Tyler was already up and doing some homework.  I joined him on the couch with a bowl of Cheerios with cut up bananas.  What a way to start the day!  It's pretty tasty.

Our vehicle hasn't been starting at all so Tyler has been doing some internet research to see how he can get it working again.  He decided that push starting it was the best option.  It kind of freaked me out because I would have to be involved in the "starting" part and since I don't know how to drive a stick when it will work, I was a little scared to be the one behind the wheel at this point.  But I did my best and it didn't work.  Soon, one of the doctors came to help us and Tyler got in the drivers seat.  We pushed him down the breakwater hill beside the hospital and the car started up almost with no problems. It was then decided to park the car on a hill for easier starting.  Now we have to figure out what to do with it before we drive it home at Christmas.  I just hope it's not too expensive of a repair bill.

Once that was completed, we spent out afternoon doing more homework and cross stitching.  It was pretty low key.  We stepped outside frequently to enjoy the only blue sky we've had since we've been home.  It was a little breezy but still only a few clouds were up there.

Tyler is on call for this weekend and he has been called back so many times.  It's been non stop and it's starting to drive him crazy.  He is back now for his 5th stint today.  It's more a pain at this point because the Dr. who is requiring all these tests is a newbie and Tyler says he is ordering a bunch of things that aren't normally ordered on call backs.  Plus, every time Tyler goes to do something, like he was just sitting down with his lunch all warm from the oven, his phone starts to ring.  It's handy for the time off he is getting out of it but he has worked more today then on any regular work day.

We were invited to a party this evening for our friends, Jan and Carl and Carl's mom.  Today is Jan and Carl's 4th wedding anniversary and Carl's mom's birthday.  So, we went over to their place for a big turkey meal with all the fixings.  It was so good.  Good friends and good food is a perfect way to end a long weekend.

Tyler is back at work right now, so I'm just typing out the day's events.  Not doing too much at all right now but thinking of going to bed pretty soon.

Baby is doing fine.  189 days till the due date.  According to the internet, the crown to rump length of baby is almost 2.5 inches and it now weights between 8 and 14 grams.  Maybe the size of a peach.  It's getting pretty exciting.  A new picture should be up tomorrow of my not so growing belly.

Off to bed soon.
