A Wonderful Weekend

This weekend was great!! On Saturday, I went to my good friend Laura's baby shower. It was good to see some people from the past! She got LOTS of presents for her new little girl who will arrive around the end of May. And I got to see all sorts of things that I never knew I needed until now!

Sunday was a day of errands and such. We went to breakfast and then did the grocery shopping. We also went to Sam's Club and found out that we can recycle there! Yes, everything but cardboard. I was very excited about this, as the only reason that I hadn't been recycling was because I didn't know where to take the stuff (except for plastic bags and magazines/newspapers). Now I can recycle almost everything! And hopefully our garbage men will be a little happier too. :)

I woke up Monday morning with a hell of a backache. I'm not sure what I did to cause it. The only thing that I can think that would affect my back would be that I stood up in the kitchen with bare feet for most of the day on Sunday. I cut fruit and vegetables and made tea and such. ALOT of standing with no shoes on. So, yesterday, when it was 70 degrees and beautiful outside, I was stuck sitting on my couch watching bad daytime TV. I seriously looked like Forrest Gump...hands on my knees and all. That was the only comfortable position. No lying down or putting up the recliner. YUCK!!

I continue to get more excited. The baby is now "knocking" to let me know it's in there. It seriously feels like it's just knocking on my uterus as if to say, "Hello? Anyone home?" And it's always in the same place. It's fun! I can't wait to find out if it's he or she!
