Chatter
Feeling pretty good about things today. I took care of some business, which is always nice. I hate having stuff hanging over my head- phone calls I need to make, appointments to schedule, etc. So I used the morning to get ahead on a few things. Yay me. I like being productive.
It's rainy here, and tomorrow it will be chilly. Winter weather is here, I guess! Something about winter weather brings out the cook in me. I put a big pot of red beans on to simmer this morning. I'll add some sausage later, and cook up some rice and cornbread and we'll be set for dinner. We like it a little spicy around here, so I might as well put a few Tums on my plate along with it. Oh the joys of pregnancy!
Speaking of such, it's hard to believe that it is again time to see my midwife. I have an appointment with her Monday morning, and I will be 26 weeks. This means 14 weeks to go! Holy moly. Where did this pregnancy go? I suppose that I have a lot to distract me on a daily basis, but I just can't believe #4 is so close now. We're thinking of names now, and more about how to arrange things when I go into labor. Details, details. I like having my ducks in a row.
What's also hard to believe is the onset of the holidays. I can't believe Thanksgiving is a week from tomorrow! This is the first one we've chosen to celebrate ourselves, at home. No traveling. After nearly ten years of spending our Christmas and Tgiving breaks living out of a suitcase, this will be a nice change. I've got our little turkey, sweet potato fixings, pecan pie ingredients, and cranberry sauce. I have a few more things to pick up, but I'm mostly set. I am going to enlist Czarina as my helper for the day, and we'll do up our own festive dinner.
As far as Christmas goes, which falls on a Monday this year, King Pen has that whole week off. So we'll do all our visiting then. I'm looking forward to a leisurely holiday- not trying to cram it all into a two or three day weekend. I am not looking forward to packing fifty million suitcases and gifts and kids AND my big old pregnant self all into our lil' Altima and driving for five or six hours, though. Bah. You know, we may actually have to strap something to the roof this time! Wow! Hey, whatever increases the leg room. I'll even stick a kid or two up there if I have to. They'd love it. Anyway, despite the minor annoyance of packing, the holiday will be great. And after all that, we can settle down and really get ready for this baby.
Well, that's all for now. Just a little chat in between chores. I'll write again later if I have time. Ciao, darlings!
