weekend roundup

Posted on July 15th, 2007 by Tracey

well, my aches and pains are officially back. the honeymoon of the second trimester feels like it’s over but i’m hopeful it’s just a lull. no amount of sleep or water or rest has helped so far, so i’m happy that this week is shorter than the last two have been (i have the day off for my checkup on wednesday). i’m very uncomfortable walking around now, i think i’ve gained a bit of weight which is why everything is aching so bad. my head has been hurting since friday and my back isn’t doing too good either.

gah. when does maternity leave start? (not for 3 months, which is actually not far away)

so that’s enough complaining!

saturday, i woke up early to finally pick up the cushions from my IKEA rocking chair. i’d been there 4 times (each time checking beforehand whether they had stock, and they didn’t) and this time i was lucky! spent the rest of the day with my parents and my sister and fell asleep on the couch with Mischa.

today, i’ve been pottering around the apartment, baked some muffins for Regan, watched some tv and slept when i could. it looked really nice outside today but the couch and hot water bottle was too enticing …

i’ll make an effort to post happy things for the next week 🙂 i hate being such a grouch!

Jamieanne!

Jamieanne had her baby BOY on July 5!!

Funny, because they were expecting a girl but AWESOME because everything went well 😀

Congratulations J & A & E 🙂

happier things

Posted on July 5th, 2007 by Tracey

i’ve been a bit of a grumpy bum the past entries haven’t i?

things are actually still really great 😀 so i guess that’s why these little things grate on me so much.

they’re doing some construction work 20 metres from my apartment, and it’s been all day every day this week (though they’ve been out there for months) that the buzzing and the noise continues. from about 9am to 6pm. every day. even on saturday mornings. that annoying low low hum that pierces your ear drums. gahhh!

i’m a little tired and a tad slower these days too. it’s hard to keep up at work, but i’m trying. they can’t ever fault me for not trying because i work my ass off. damn work ethic.

no change in the ‘moving house’ column over here. still waiting, hoping, wishing … gives us time to enjoy the city and the apartment (if it would just stop buzzing). i do hope it’s by september though – it’ll give me time to organise all the new house stuff we all have to do when we move, before the bub gets here.

can’t wait for the weekend, or even 6pm when relaxation can begin for at least another 14 hours …
