Busy Weekend.

Last day of work was Friday and it hasn’t really sunk in yet. Lily is such a Daddy’s girl that this new arrangement is going to take some getting used to. I’m sure we’ll all figure each other out and before I know it, I’ll know that “MA-MOE!” means, “Hey Mom, I wanna watch ‘Finding Nemo.’ Get it going, will ya?” and Mark will be looking at me saying, “What the hell is MA-MOE?” One day at a time, people. One day at a time.

Today is our fifth Anniversary and we’re going to drop off the Lily-Monster at my dads, go see a play and maybe enjoy an adult meal (and no, “adult” does not have anything to do with strippers or porn stars… at least not in this case).

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and for that grand event we’re gonna go visit my mom and give her the card Lily picked out for her. It’s fuzzy and has dogs on it, so how could she go wrong? Grandma might not think it’s brilliant but Lily is in love. Hmmm… wonder if she’ll let Grandma keep the card? For me, I’m just hoping to have a nice sleep with no painful gas, kicking from the bean, hip pain, random hormonal changes (read: night sweats) and minimal trips to the bathroom. I once heard that if pregnancy was a book, they’d cut the last chapter. I am starting to understand the wisdom of those words. I have a wicked stitch in my side today. We’re theorizing that the baby either has really long toenails or has decided to BITE me. Freaking fetus.

We have almost all our birth supplies together and I’ve been spending most of my internet time skulking around looking for newborn diaper covers. I have about four different kinds on their way to me now and am hoping I will love each and every one of them. Otherwise, EBAY, here I come. We’ve got a good number of dipes, it was covers we were seriously lacking. We should be cool now. And if not, the power of the internet will come to my aid. SO BE IT.

OK, gotta get this circus ready to go out. Cheers.
