Weekend Update

There really isn't a whole lot shakin' in our neck of the woods. It has become painfully obvious that I am pregnant. I have this horrible pain in my ribs, which I am told is the inflammation of the cartilage between my ribs. The doctor says it is very common during pregnancy. Normal course of action would be an anti-inflammatory, but because of my altered state I am left with nothing but a heating pad, which does absolutely nothing. I was feeling concerned yesterday because it was so bad I could hardly move or breathe so Jake googled it and found about 100 posts from pregnant women with exactly the same problem. I was relieved and actually feel a little better today.

On Saturday we got up and did some cleaning, which is something we do every Saturday. I love it (there is something so satisfying about cleaning), Jake not so much, but he plays along. After cleaning we decided to reward ourselves with dinner and a movie. We went to see Casino Royale, which was good for a Bond flick, but so long! Then we went to Red Lobster for dinner and Baskin Robbins for dessert. We should probably do this sort of thing more often as I suppose we will not be so free in the near future. During the loud parts of the movie, Mason was moving around in a frenzy and I envisioned him covering his little ears. I decided then and there that a movie is no place for a baby, for several reasons.

Yesterday was uneventful, I laid on the couch all day and Jake did some homework. I declared that I was officially annoyed with being pregnant and after I sent Jake to the grocery store alone he declared that he too was officially annoyed with me being pregnant. I do appreciate his willingness to go to the store and I tried to look the other way when he brought home a $4 gallon of milk.
