Sorry I haven’t written, no, no baby yet, we have just been busy. Stacey was here visting. Dean and I don’t usually do much of anything too fun but I hate having people come to visit and having nothing planned. Saturday night we went to the St. Rita’s festival, which is like a huge carnival, except for in Ohio you can carry your beer around with you. In Baltimore you can only drink you beer in the designated beer garden and you can not leave that area with a drink. So it is kind of a strange change, but Stacey didn’t seem bothered by it, I think she is used to college drinking, but I hate being around people drinking. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it.
Like most Sundays we went to church, and it was my last time working in the booth running the switcher (it is my job to take the cuts that the director calls from one of three cameras, video, or our powerpoint presentation and put it on the big video screen in the auditorium). I had decided that the 15th would be my last day since that is about a month away from my due date and I can’t gaurantee I’d be able to sit through 3 hours of services after that and still be comfy. But I will miss it, I liked it alot. I know that after Caleb is born I will get back into it, maybe learn a new position. Our booth as I call it is like a mini news room, and as stressful as it gets sometimes you’d think it was. But we still end up having a lot of fun. Our church does baptisms about once every few months and we have an all worship service when they do. So apparently during on of the services someone lost a dollar bill in the baptismal pool, and of course since we tape all of the services, when the pastor started joking about the dollar in the water, the crew up in the booth decided to put the picture of the floating bill on all of the projector screens, it was great. So sometimes it’s stressful but for the most part we get to do a lot of fun things.
Point is, yesterday was my last time doing that until after I have Caleb. But poor Stacey had to sit around and wait for us to get finished working. Then we went to Dean’s sister’s for a birthday party for our neice. I had fun, mostly because I got to go swimming, and I love feeling so free and being able to move so much when I am in the water. It feels much better than when I am walking around carrying all of this extra weight.
We didnt do much the rest of yesterday afternoon, around 5 or so we all came home and took a much needed nap. And Dean, who said he didnt need one but would take one, was asleep before I was. So after we all got up we munched on pizza, watched some shows on Fox and then went to rent a movie. We were up so late!
And then on top of that I was up most of the night again not feeling well so I decided to stay home. I called one of the girls at work to let them know, I know today will be busy but I can’t imagine going to work feeling so blah. I am considering going in late, but I dont know if I can get myself going. So Stacey left a short while ago. We had a nice weekend, but it still feels like we didn’t entertain her much. Well, we did get in some good games, particularly of Yatzee. And she said she will come back to visit when Caleb comes, I think I will need her support then, even if I do have Dean. I was thinking that the one type of trial or problem Stacey and I haven’t gone through together was a physical ailment. I mean, not our own anyway. We’ve been through a lot together, but luckily we haven’t had to deal with any heatlh problems, at least not of a great magnitude, but I think labor may be one of those times when I would love to have her support in addition to Dean’s of course. But I am still quite undecided exactly who I will be comfortable with having around for that special day. And who knows if I’ll even have the time to decide and will it really matter who is there? I mean as long as Caleb comes our healthy and safely then I guess it shouldnt matter to me, but I still think that I will be uncomfortable with family around. But who knows, the day may come and all I may want is them being around. Well, I am headed back to bed for a little bit longer, then maybe I’ll head to work, or maybe not. We’ll see…..
