I love doing Thursday Five with Keely over at
http://www.mannland5.com/. So many crappy things happen during the week and I could go on and on about these things and be so negative. Thursday Five helps me to put things in perspective and gets me to realize that there is more good that happens in my week (and even in one day) than bad.
If you want to join in, it's easy...Blog about five things throughout the week that has made you HAPPY, GRATEFUL, JOYFUL, ELATED, APPRECIATIVE OR ALL OF THE ABOVE. Then, head over to
http://www.mannland5.com/ and get linked to all other Thursday Five participants!
And here goes!
1. I have to thank Kimberly at
Kimberly's Korner again for putting on the amazing Flip Flop Swap! She could not have partnered me with anyone sweeter than Summer at
Summer's Story. I got my package in the mail yesterday. When I saw the box, I couldn't contain myself. I think Lucy thought I was a maniac as I tore the thing apart in seconds.
She got me the cutest, most comfortable slippers. They are just my style--casual--and in my favorite colors. They'll go with practically anything I wear.
And she didn't stop there! She got the baby some of the cutest lady bug stuff! You know how I'm
crazy about lady bugs. Vaosina will love them!
It's so crazy. Summer and I have been bloggy friends for only a few weeks now, but I feel like we've known each other forever. You guys should head on to her blog and get to know her too. She has a very inspiring story and a beautiful family. Thanks for everything Summer! Now, Kimberly said that she's thinking of doing an Apron Swap sometime down the road. I'm soooo there!
2. My lil' bug and I are, as of today, officially into the 3rd trimester! 28 week mark! Yoo hoo! We're getting so big....take a look!
3. As you can see in the picture...I can also now officially put my hair up in a small bun/pony tail! Yay! I've been trying to grow it out and it was in that "in-betweenie" phase forever. And it helps since it's getting hotter out here.
4. After my 3-hour glucose test today, I hit up the first restaurant I saw just down the road from the hospital. And yay! It was Vietnamese...one of my faves. I helped myself to a vermicelli rice noodle bowl complete with BBQ beef, grilled shrimp, cucumber, carrots, that special sauce they make, and eggrolls. I was finished in about 8 minutes, I kid you not. I was starving (I did fast for 12 hours and then sat in the lab for an additional 3--I was dying!). I thought it was well deserved. Not only that, I had a
honeydew boba drink! Yum!
5. And I think she's crazy, but my best friend Chrissy is planning another baby shower for me over the memorial day weekend. Another best friend of ours, Melody, is flying down from Virginia for it and a bunch of girls from work are going to be joining us. So what was originally going to be a nice small lunch with Chrissy, Melody and I will now be a big lunch/baby shower for me. I have great friends. Love you guys!
Tomorrow. Is. Friday!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for the weekend. Sleep, sleep, and more sleep. And I'll try to squeeze in cleaning the house and attempting to work on the nursery. We shall see!
