It's been a pretty eventful last week and I'm bound to forget to mention a few things but I will try my best. My brain doesn't work very well these days. I'm not sure if it's because of baby or if it's because I haven't been doing much to stimulate it lately. I like to blame Baby J because it seems easiest and then I can assume it will go back to normal once Baby is born but I think I'm horribly mistaken on that front. I've heard many women say that they gave birth to their brains on the day their children were born. I'm afraid that I've already felt the effects of "baby brain" and will never get back to normal. I find that I start sentences but have a hard time finishing the thought, usually ending up just staring blankly at Tyler in hopes that he somehow knows what I'm trying to say. That never works because he then makes fun of me.
Any way, where do I even begin with this post? It's tough to summarize an entire week when I'm so used to just doing single days.
Last Saturday, Jan. 7th, Tyler and I made our way down to his aunt and uncle's house to babysit his cousins. I wasn't too sure what to expect because I haven't babysat in about 6 years and I know Tyler has never taken care of children before. We were both amateurs going into the day but we came out of it almost pros. It was a really fun and exhausting day. We built a really cool fort, ate some good food, and drank a lot of milk. We played outside and had a lot of fun.
On the Sunday, we went to church and saw a bunch of people we hadn't seen in a long time. It is always good to get home again.
On Monday and Tuesday, we just relaxed and did our own thing. We played Wii, I cross stitched, and Tyler started a new course for school. He's only taking one course this time so it's a lot less stressful for him.
On Wednesday, we headed up to Edmonton for another doctor's appointment. It was a quick appointment and Baby J is still doing really awesome. As the doctor was measuring me, she wasn't 100% sure if Baby J was still head down so she went out and got a little ultrasound machine. It was a very quick little check, only about 10 seconds but we got to see our little baby again, still head down. It was just a little bum she was feeling.
On Thursday and Friday, we relaxed at my parents house. I got my haircut nice and sort of short. It may have been a bit of a mistake to get it cut but I just wanted a change. It's been over a year since I've had a haircut so it feels really nice to have a change. But I can no longer put it back in a pony tail and with a new baby on it's way, I may have made a big mistake but I just don't care (right now).
Friday, we had a pretty exciting day to look forward to. We were going to the Oiler's game where we had super awesome seats. But first, since we didn't have to pay for the seats, we went out for dinner to have a date night. We went to a downtown Kelsey's around 4 thinking that it would take a long time to get a table and get our food but we were the only one's in the restaurant. We ended up spending about half an hour in a Shopper's just to waste time before we headed to Rexall. Once we got to Rexall, found a parking space, we headed down to the under level where the Oiler's come out of their dressing room. We waited for them to come out and that was really fun. Tyler has a video of it so he will try to share that with everyone. But that is where the excitement ended. The Oiler's didn't play well at all and it ended up being one of those games where you just want to go home. The only good thing about the Oiler's stinking the place out, is that everyone left early. When we left, there was no one left in the parking lot so it only took us about 15 minutes to get home from when the game ended. I think that is a record.
Today, was a really exciting day for us. We headed to Camrose where Tyler had found a vehicle that we were going to try to buy. We got there, took it for a test drive and sat down to negotiate. The funny thing was that the salesman went to the back to try to get us a good deal before we even said what we wanted to start negotiating at. He came back with a number that was exactly where we were aiming for so we signed on the dotted line and now are the proud new owners of a 2007 Equinox. We are so excited about our new vehicle. We no longer have to deal with searching for a vehicle that will be good for Baby J and we don't have to deal with jerk salesman.
We headed back down to Ponoka to get Tyler's car fixed and to celebrate his Grandma's birthday. We are now sitting at home, getting ready for bed. I'm really looking forward to sleeping tonight.
That's our last week in a nut shell. Baby J isn't here yet and now that's all we are waiting for. I can't wait to hold little baby in my arms!!
