1. I went grocery shopping this weekend and purchased some milk. I'm not sure if you can see the expiration date on the milk or not -- but it's May 10th! Boy did I freak out! I mean now I'm purchasing milk that expires just days before when I'm going to expire from pregnancy! Psh!2. My belly button has gone missing. Literally. I'm ready to put out reward flyer's around the neighborhood for it. I miss it so. Is it sad that in my prayers at night I ask that it not pop out into an out-y?
3. I'm pretty sure I have a bruised rib. It hurts. Tim thinks I'm nuts and just complaining. What's new.
4. Our dog Tucker can no longer make the long walks that Tim and I take with our other dog Leeya. Monday night we were literally dragging him behind us. When we stopped to wait for traffic to cross the street, Tucker laid down. Tim wonders if I'm going to be lagging behind in the coming weeks too. He says that Tucker and I will have to go on our own slow-paced walks while he and Leeya go all sporty-spice.
5. Tim bet me that I couldn't touch my toes now. I won. Hooray for being able to touch my toes! Now, I may not be able to see them all that well, but at least I can touch them.
6. A customer came in yesterday - 70ish and sporting a rat tail mind you - and after he called me "cupcake" and I finished helping him with his question, he gestured to my belly and asked, "when's this going to happen?" I told him next month, and he responded with, "oh so you've still got some swelling to do". Really? I don't think he was talking about my muscles. Thanks! Go enjoy your Harley Ride Mr.
7. This past weekend we had friends in town celebrating another friends birthday. Sunday we thought we were meeting them up for lunch, or some other tame way of visiting them. Instead we ended up hanging with the birthday group downtown. At one point (in the afternoon I might add) I found myself dancing to "It's Raining Men" on a dance floor with a few of the new gay friends that I had met. They were all shocked and made sure to tell me that they had never danced with a pregnant girl before. I think I was two steps and a curtsy away from being named a mascot or something.
8. The weather has been crazy in Texas this week. Storms, humidity, heat & tornadoes (thankfully none in Austin though). Saturday afternoon after a day of Benton Luck, Tim jumped in the pool. Apparently it's still a little bit too chilly on the bottom, but he wasn't going to wait any longer. Did I get in you may ask? No, that's when I went to the grocery store. I wasn't ready for the swimsuit competition.
9. I'm currently reading Home Front, by Kristin Hannah. She's a favorite in our family, especially Firefly Lane. I was told that I must be part of a new generation because I wasn't reading books and soaking in everything I could about pregnancy & parenting. To be honest, I don't know if I'm part of the new generation or not...I just know that it's all going to be overwhelming no matter what I dive into, so instead I think I'll read some good stories.10. I'm literally like 5 weeks away from my due date and I want to shop so badly (shh don't tell Tim) but I think it's silly to spend money on clothes that I'll only get to wear for the next 5 weeks. Seriously though, it's like 85 degrees around here these days and there's only so many places I can sport the gym shorts and t-shirts. So if you see me wearing a uniform of the same basic 7 outfit combinations for the next 5 weeks, you know why. Besides, apparently I still have some more swelling to do. bahahaha! Oh snap, I'll need to set aside some clothes for my hospital bag soon too, so that drops us down to only 6 outfits to rotate since at least one of those will have to sit clean in a bag just in case.
Happy Random 10 Thursday to you!
