Weekend Update

Why does the weekend always zoom by? I used to think getting up in the mornings were hard, now it's even harder when I'm trying to roll out of bed and also cope with the lack of sleep from having to get up in the middle of night like 20 times just to use the restroom. He literally is on top of my bladder!

I should have spent most of the weekend with my feet up since my ankles are pretty swollen, but that didn't seem to happen. I did get some rest on Sunday which was nice. Saturday, I went with Auntie H to a baby event because they promised a free gift bag full of goodies. What a rip off, instead the guy was trying to sell us on some stuff and gave us these coupon voucher things that we have to sign up online for. I haven't even tried it yet but when I looked at the invitation again, it still seemed very misleading. Oh well..live and learn. Maybe those vouchers will do some good. I still can't complain too much because I know there are many others out there who are really in need especially with the way our economy is lately. I had lunch with a friend today and he told me his company is taking away health insurance for their employees. I was in shock! And he's normally a pretty laid back guy but even this had him a bit worried. They hadn't announced it yet, so I can't say which company this is. My heart just goes out to the people who work for them. There are several who only make minimum wage and so this will truly impact them. Everywhere I turn I hear more and more stories like this. I just have to keep them all in my prayers.

Okay, back to my weekend, I get distracted so easily. I washed baby's clothing on Saturday with Dreft and saw how much he has. I only washed the ones that I know he will need right away. They are so tiny and adorable! As I was folding his socks and hats, I couldn't help but to think, "How long will he be in them before he gets too big?" Everyone says they outgrow their new born clothing fast. It just made me really happy to know that I will have 6 blissful weeks where I get to be with my son all day long. I'm completely looking forward to it because I know I won't get back that time ever again. As the days are getting shorter, I'm sure everyone is feeling like time is just flying by! Sometimes it feels like it was only yesterday, when I saw the word "pregnant" on the pregancy test I took at home. From breaking the news to my family to actually getting ready for his arrival I have witnessed all sorts of miracles around me and kindness from friends, family, and strangers. Now soon, I will get to hold him in my arms. :)
