What a great way to reflect on all of the things that have made us joyous, jubilant, exuberant, thankful, merry and just plain happy this week! If you want to participate, it's not too late. Head on over to Mrs. Gambizzle's blog and get linked up! And here are my five:
1. Today is Baby V's due date. Yup...we are officially 40 weeks along today! But alas, she is not here yet! Everytime I call my mom she's almost in a panic when she answers, asking me what's going on and if I'm going into labor. Nope, not yet. Malu and I have come to terms with the fact that she's just going to show up when she wants to. And she's already starting to be like her mom...hardly ever on time. I'm just thankful that she's doing well inside my tummy and she hasn't been causing me too much pain. Really...the last time I had some contractions was the night before last.
2. When the hubby is gone as much as mine as been, you find pleasure in the smallest of things when he is around. Like grocery shopping. Malu and I went to Costco earlier today (blew over $200, which is easy to do when you go there on empty stomachs) and we had such a great time. And it's probably because we're so goofy together. I mean, we're goofy all the time, but I particularly had so much fun with him today.
3. While we were there, Malu picked up a colossal sushi (california roll) platter for the two of us to share for lunch. And it was oh-so-delicious!
I've honestly tried shying away from sushi during this pregnancy, but to no avail. I at least make sure that the sushi I get is all cooked! So no worries!
4. I'm sad that we took Chester back to the office today, but look back on our great times with him over the past week. We wanted to make sure that everyone at work knew that we took good care of the big guy, so yesterday we gave him a really good bath with some green apple oatmeal shampoo. It took us three long washes to get all the dirt off his body, but man was he clean when we were through. And the best tactic:
For Malu to get right in the tub with him! Right down and dirty. It so cute how well they bonded. Now we miss him! Not sure if all the guys at work will appreciate him smelling like a giant green apple, but I loved the smell!
5. Finally, I'm happy that Malu was able to secure himself an Airborne School slot for September, as he's gone through great lengths these last few weeks to get it. He'll be gone for three weeks, leaving me with Baby V, but that's okay. I'm willing to choke up the absence so that he can finally join myself and many other people in the illustrious paratrooper ranks! Okay, it's not that serious. But at least I can stop giving him crap about not having his wings!
Anyway, I'm going to take a nap before dinnertime, as I am so exhausted. Happy Thursday you guys! You never know...maybe something will happen over night and I'll have some big news for you all then!
