So my last post was pretty gloomy, sorry about that. I'm really not usually such a buzzkill. I went back and forth as to whether or not to post it and finally I was like, ya know what? Good, bad and ugly, I'm just gonna throw it all out there. I was in the midst of an icky hour when I wrote but literally just a short time after that I was back to normal. No worries and no need to call the suicide hotline or anything - the PoD has crept back to her hole (for the moment) so you're all safe from her miserable whining. I have to admit, I did feel better after just letting it out (that's not something I do often...usually she only shares her dismal personality with me so it all stays bottled up inside - blah!)
I think the fact that work is so INSANELY BUSY helps a lot. When I'm there I literally don't have any TIME to even think about IF, IVF or any of the issues that have brought us to where we are. So for once being too busy with work to have any sort of a personal life is a good thing :) And hey, in this economy the fact that we are so busy is a blessing so I'll take it over the alternative ANY DAY!!!!
Today however is a RARE Saturday off...slept in a bit (7am - I'm usually up by 4:30/5am) and am now half listening to the Mr. give an in-depth golf instructional as to the mechanics of the perfect golf swing (thrilling) in our family room. He's getting irritated because I keep looking away and typing while he's showing me his demo...never a dull moment at the Randazzo estate...:)
Later today I'm going to work on a gift for a gender party for next week. I'm super excited and can't wait to see if the little bundle will be a boy or a girl! We had one last weekend too and I made a diaper wreath to take (figure since you don't know the sex before the party the one thing you know that ALL babies will need are DIAPERS, DIAPERS and MORE DIAPERS!!!!). I should have taken a picture of it. It didn't turn out perfectly, but it looked pretty darn cute if I do say so myself. The Italian was pretty proud of it and he made almost everyone at the party look at it. (I don't like to draw attention to myself so would have been happy if it was just taken up to the nursery right away). I want to try to think of something a little different to do for this mommy to be (if you have any ideas, please share...I have one idea, but I'm not giving my secrets away yet!). Anyway, that will be today's project (along with sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, cleaning the kitchen, bathroom, changing bedsheets, dusting, catching up on some work (emails, proposals and some contracts I need to process), grocery shopping, etc., etc., etc.,).
I love this new Gender Party trend...hoping to have one someday soon myself! I swear, not if but when this happens I'm going to have parties to celebrate every stinking phase!!!!
Happy Saturday folks!
ser·en·dip·i·ty/ˌserənˈdipitē/Noun: The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way. During our 3 years of "trying" to start a family I would get notices that someone we know was blessed with a pregnancy, a "happy accident" which by the way is synonymous with my all time favorite word~SERENDIPITY. Now I know that there are no Happy Accidents, rather God's hand is on each and every one of us creating amazing opportunities each and every day.
Letting the PoD out helps keep her from taking over inside.
ReplyDeleteWe all have a PoD, sometime you just need to let her get her feelings out and then she leaves again!! Not letting her out can lead to bad things down the road.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are feeling better!! Thanks for sharing the idea of a diaper wreath, I have heard of a Diaper cake, but never a wreath, I am throwing a shower soon and I will have to make it!!
Happy ICLW
