As I mentioned earlier, this weekend we did a lot to “celebrate” my birthday which isnt even until tomorrow. On Friday both my mom and Dean’s mom were around all day which was great since I’m supposed to be taking it easy as far as lifting Boaz. We went to lunch at Sorrentos once Caleb got out of school early since they had a half day. Then we came home for a bit to let Bo nap and I later went to the dr. Friday night I rested while the rest of the clan hit the library and store before making a delicious meal for us.
bright and early on Saturday I was up and out to the lab to get my one hour glucose test, fun way to start the weekend, but I really dont get why people complain about the test so much. I love orange sugary soda so it’s not that bad, the worst part is waiting for the time to pass, but I was actually able to enjoy the hour reading the Davinci Code which we got from the library last week after I heard someone talking about how controversial it is in the Christian community. Of course wanting to be in the know before someone started a conversation with me about it, I thought I’d spend time actually reading the book. I’m having a hard time because I’m at a point in the book now where I dont want to put it down but having two kids makes that hard! I stayed up late last night listening to Dean snore until my eyes finally gave out on me and I had to put the book down!
the rest of Saturday was spent driving to Annapolis to pick up a toddler bed we were buying from a craigslist ad then lunch at Famous Daves. Dean enjoyed embarassing me and asking the waitress if they do anything for birthdays, but in the end the humiliation was worth it as we all shared a free huge ice cream sundae. There were at least 6 scoops of ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. it was quite heavenly but I’m sure baby boy # 3 was on a sugar high all day on Saturday due to my glucose test, orange juice and donut breakfast then the sundae after my lunch! We had a lazy afternoon letting Bo nap while Caleb and my MIL hit the mall for a while, giving dean and I some alone time which was nice. After dinner together as a family Dean and I got ready for an evening out. It was bitter cold and started snowing when we left but other than that it was a great evening.
We went to the theater project to see two one acts. The first was rather short but had me teary eyed at the end. I think a big part of that was how much Dean and the actor looked so similar, the rest may have just been hormones! It was great to be in a theater again, especially knowing Dean had worked at this theater in high school and recently helped out some there. We havent been a part the theater community since we had Caleb and moved back to Baltimore and we both miss that part of our lives. it was something that we did together and initially I only did because I wanted to spend time with Dean. before long it was a part of me too and it was so cool to work side by side w/ my love working on a show. I remember working a show, the first show I was working on majorly and without Dean, at the time I was pregnant with caleb. I’m hoping when the kids get old enough to get them into being in shows themselves we can start being a part of a kids theater company to at least get us back into things and so our kids can learn about that world. Until them I am hoping Dean can find the time and connections to get back into something because I know it’s harder on him being out of touch with his first love, the theater. it’s so a part of him yet he has his 9-5 job where he doesnt get to use any creativity at all.
sunday was spent going to church, lunching at Arundel Mills mall and some shopping, then dinner with the family including my MIL and my mom. after dinner we had cake and ice cream for my birthday. After that my MIL and Caleb went out for a bit, so we put Bo to bed then played Blue Moon until they got back. we had a late snack of pizza from the place voted best slice of pizza in Baltimore, our favorite mom and pop type pizza place close to our house.
it was a fun filled weekend and we’re all going to miss my MIL since she headed out this morning. Caleb doesnt have school today but we’re just hanging out around here since I’m pretty tired and still not feeling great. caleb is bored but after all of the running we did all weekend sitting at home today wont hurt him any. No other plans, as if we really need to do more to celebrate just another year added to my age, for my actual birthday tomorrow.
My next ob appt is Thursday and I’m waiting the call saying I failed my one hour test. I’m going to try see if I can not take the 3 hour version of the test since we all know I am diabetic when pregnant and last time I was on insulin so the chance of not being again are very slim. I just dont want to waste 3 hours of my time sitting at a lab to tell us something the drs already know is going to happen, with our without the test to tell them. I’m praying they just treat me as if I have gest. diabetes instead of having to take another dumb test to prove it to them. We’ll see.
Well the kids arent happy I’m not getting them more goldfish so I have to run. Should be a slow week around here, hoping at least. I probably wont update for a day or three unless something interesting happens.
