Weekend Recap
Since we didn't have a TGIF post on Friday, how was everyone's weekend? I can't believe it's Christmas week already!! Where has the year gone?
Our weekend was good. On Friday, we went to see The Hobbit and LOVED it! I confess that I cried a little in some parts and I also tried a new app - RunPee. It tells you when a good time to go pee in the movie is. It worked out great and highly recommend it!
Saturday, H and I ran around all day. We finished up our Christmas shopping, worked on the baby registry, and window shopped for furniture. We finished up our registries and found a beautiful formal dining table. We are almost certain we're gonna purchase it, but it's a few hundred over our budget so we're still thinking about it. Saturday night, we went to a family bday party.
Sunday morning, I did some cleaning, laundry and worked on more of the furniture pieces I'm refinishing. In the afternoon, we went to a couples house and H and our guy friend watched the game while us girls went to get a mani pedi. After, we came back home, finished up wrapping presents and worked on the furniture some more.
Re: Weekend Recap
Saturday we went into town to visit our respective parents and get dinner. His parents wound up not being home and mine weren't feeling well. We worked on our homemade gifts the rest of the night.
Sunday I went to a viewing for my coworker's dad. Went to visit my parents afterwards.
My weekend was MEH
Friday - nothing really. Came home, got E to nap, and finished my Christmas cards (They are in the mail!!!). Had a really really really rough night after she did amazing transitioning into the crib. We were up from 130a-5a. Then up for good at 630 am.
Saturday - H came home with lunch and we watched the UNC game. After E and H fell asleep I got an hour nap in too. H wanted to go out with the guys, so I watched the Eagles game (B00 they lost and are out of the playoffs). Got E to sleep and passed out myself, only to get sleep in 2-3 hour intervals. H was suppose to be home at midnight, but that turned into 230am. I was not really happy.
Sunday - Went to breakfast, grocery shopping. Since H had to work Sunday night, and didn't get too much sleep the night before, he got to nap. He wanted me to, but E was awake and he thought she'd just play quietly between us while we slept. Um, no, but thanks. That's when I really started to get resentful of him and his sleep. I try to let him get enough because he's a truck driver and if he falls asleep at work he could kill someone or himself. I'll just get in trouble. I tried to talk to him about how I need time to nap too when she's getting up so much, but it was too late for a nap since we had to go to my parents for Christmas. So hopefully E starts sleeping again (didn't happen last night), and if not he'll give me some naptime too. 4-6 hours is killing me.
Christmas with my parents was awesome. My mom and dad spoiled me with gifts, and H gave me my gifts too! it's easier for us to do it at home so we're not hauling it to NC and back.
H got me something "extra" not on my wish list. It was in this tall heavy box. here he wrapped my presents up and re-wrapped them in the box his light bar came in and a big old rock to weigh it down. He got me a Sapphire ring and necklace (E's birthstones), and diamond stud earrings! He had it from E too, which was adorable. I guess I was really good this year!
Here my Christmas pretties:
Saturday I got my allergy shots and ran some errands. Saturday afternoon, O and I went to our friend's 3rd birthday. H stayed home because he had a cold and didn't want infect anyone there.
Yesterday I ran back and forth 6 times from our house to my parents' house doing laundry. We REALLY need a washer and drier so my Sundays can be enjoyed. I went to Mass with my mom and grandma. My grandma hasn't been since October because she fell and then was in rehab.
Yesterday was also my brother's birthday. I went to dinner at my parents' house but H and O stayed home. My brother's entire family is sick with a cold/virus. H wasn't 100% and I didn't want O getting sick so they stayed home. It was a quick dinner anyway since everyone was sick.
