this week has just been one of those weeks when life is good and there's not much to complain about! :) even my swollen ankles, aching lower back, distended belly, and pressing need to pee every hour, while i can't ignore it, i am able go on with my day. i dont know why i'm in such good spirits... could be the amazing weather we'd had lately. could be pregnancy contentment (baby is getting big and squirming around a LOT and maternity clothes are more fun to shop for than Fat Girl clothes). could be the fact that rob let me buy all this new furniture for mimi's room AND a new buffet for the dining room...from Arhaus, no less! (i personally think it may be the latter...shopping endorphin rush). and to really end this already great week? rob and i are celebrating our SEVENTH anniversary with a dinner out (i'm gonna get me a big, fat, honking steak!). mimi gets to stay with grandma this weekend, so i'll also be free of the burden of a child for a little bit. life doesnt get any better than this!
today was an exhausting but fun filled day for mimi. we started off at tysons play center, then went to Clemyjontri, an awesome playground for all ability children, and then mimi played at her Beginning Athletes class, and then came home and played outside until dinner time. she seemed to have an endless supply of energy (it was TOUGH for me to make it through the whole day, but the weather was so nice i enjoyed being out in the sunshine...maybe that is part of it...maybe the extra sunshine has been just the thing...cold dreary weather day in and day out is such a downer!). the weather was so nice, even all the heavy traffic on the beltway (construction on two right lanes) didnt dampen my mood. mimi, though, said to me: Mom, why are you stopping? I say, there's a ton of traffic, mims. dont you see all the slow moving cars around us? and mimi says, "then say, "DAMMIT!"
later this day, mimi and my sister woo had a very lengthy conversation on the phone. i was drifting in and out of sleep as they chatted and i caught portions of their discussions. at one point they were telling jokes and woo says, i probably shouldnt tell you this one (but she does anyway)...what did the fish say when he hit a wall? Oh! Dam! and then she was all worried that mimi might repeat that one. i was too tired to let her know we had just had an episode with the whole 'dammit' phrase earlier today.
well, on the name front for baby boy, the name osbourne came up. not sure if that is a keeper, but rob actually said he didnt think it was a bad name. ahhh. progress. i was beginning to think there were no names that would make the cut and our kid would forever have to sign his name with an X. mimi is no help in the naming department. a few months ago she said she would like to name her baby brother "Baby Sister." and more recently she has decided she likes 'Babybabybabe." she has also decided that Mimi is the best nickname ever and that her dad's nickname "Gumpy" is the funniest.
