This weekend we had a wonderful three day weekend surprise!! We completely forgot that Patrick had MLK off and couldn't be more happy to have that extra "just the 3 of us" time.
Saturday Reesa and I hung out in the morning while PK was at a church meeting. We played safari and had a camp out in the living room. We wanted to be incognito so we covered ourselves in glittery smiley faces!!
Later that night we had a Kelley/Nicola/Geist family swim at our local rec center. Afterwards we all came back and had soup and salad at our place. I tested out a new veggie chili recipe: place all the veggies that I like to eat and smell cooking and add seasoning. Hopefully the leftovers freeze well. :)
Sunday morning church was cancelled so we suited up and went out for a walk in the snow. Later we went downtown for a nice stroll indoors.
Monday we spent the morning on 23rd. We popped into my favorite 3 Monkeys boutique, let Reesa roam the toy store, and had snacks at Starbucks. Reesa really loves her chocolate soy milk. She practically sprinted to Urban Outfitters. We made our way back home just before another snow flurry hit.
Today Reesa and I went to the doctor and then had lunch with Alison, Aaron, and Isaiah. Reesa and I just roam Portland looking for people to hang with. I don't think I can clean, wash, or make anymore lists. If I buy anything else on Etsy Patrick might take away my computer. ;)
His cradle is up and all his bedding is washed.
We got a second glider and our bags are packed. Yes, I packed the baby name book because we have no idea what we are going to name him. Our short list: Porter, Oscar, Diego, Oslo. And we might come home with a completely different name!!
Lately I feel like a ticking time bomb. I don't think he's coming early but I wake up every other morning around 4 or 5am to contractions that are about 6-8minutes apart for at least an hour. Then they subside. Each morning this happens they hurt a little more than the previous morning. Sometimes our bodies can play mean tricks on us. I'm ready when he's ready but I sure wish I didn't have these false starts to endure. Doesn't my body know that I have a 2 year old to entertain for the entire day? Just plain cruel.
I guess it all be over soon and I'll be posting precious baby photos of our lil' boy Kelley.
