The Kid-Week 25-30

So... I would hate to forget all the great stuff that happened in the weeks leading up to the birth. Although my pregnant brain isn't quite what it used to be, I wanted to try to remember some of the details about the pregnancy. 

Week 25 was the first week in January, and I was totally busy at work. Honestly, that's about all I can remember about that week. 

Week 26 was still busy at work. I was also sick that week and ended up at home in bed one day. It wasn't terrible, but I was totally ill. 

Week 27 was the week of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We get that day off from work, so I had a nice lazy day and didn't do anything. The rest of that week, however, was spent doing major work stuff including our team's year planning session. We have goals that we have to set and so that can be totally time consuming and mentally exhausting. Because we had team members in from all parts of the world, we also did a lot of extra team building activities. I bailed on a few of them because I was so tired, but I did make it to a few of them. We did a party at color me mine one night and I totally made a kick butt alien for the kid's room :)

Week 28 was another huge week at work. This was the week of a huge training summit. Because I write curriculum for my company, we had a meeting with many of the users of the curriculum to determine how we could update the material. We had people in from all over the world and we spent a lot of time entertaining them after the meetings to try and build some rapport. It was fun, but totally exhausting. I had some pain that week and was kinda freaking out, but then I realized that it was probably just because I was trying to do WAY too much. 

Week 29 was the first week of February and the week of my (actual) birthday. I spent a lot of time relaxing that week because I was so exhausted from the two weeks before. I ended up taking my birthday off and my grandma took me to IKEA to get a changing table. I wasn't going to put one in the kid's room, but she insisted. I really like the clean lines and the fact that it matches the crib. She also got me an AWESOME pea coat that I can wear next winter. My mommy sent me balloons and some other stuff and I got my favorite zooanthids for the fish tank from the hubby. 

I do have to say that I normally celebrate my birthday for most of the month of February. But this year, I was really tired.  I slept a lot of the month away because I was sleepy. HA. 

Week 30 continued my birthday month. I ended up going to dinner with my mom for my birthday, and I did not watch the superbowl. I did, however, watch quite a bit of the olympics online. It was nice because I didn't have to watch too many commercials and I could watch highlights of the events rather than the whole thing. I spent more time sleeping in week 30, too. 

Next up will be the recordings and thoughts from week 31 to week 35. Hopefully, I can remember to write all this stuff down. I want to look back someday and remember this time, because I have a feeling I will forget it all in the post newborn days of exhaustion...
