Happy Monday! Hope you had a good weekend! We had a lovely weekend mixed of both relaxing to the max and being really busy.
On Saturday after our morning coffee I suddenly felt really tired and out of energy. It’s weird how when I don’t sleep that well I have tons of energy all day every day and after I’ve had a really good night sleep, like Saturday, I’m exhausted. In an attempt to give myself some energy, the three of us went for a walk. Walked around downtown and I was soooo jealous of everyone enjoying their brunch on the outdoor seatings. The image I had back in 2018 of me being pregnant included brunches, dinners and coffee breaks both indoors and outdoors with hubby and friends feeling all cute in my big belly. The few times we have been eating at places during this pregnancy (like on our babymoon) I’m not particularly very relaxed cause I keep thinking about having to sanitize my hands and put my mask on whenever someone else is coming near me. But my new wish is that before we leave Stamford this summer I might have got the vaccine and we can sit outside to brunch somewhere with the stroller next to us. I would love to stroll around Central Park as well one more time before we leave:)
When we came back home the weather was really nice, so we decided to spend the afternoon on our terrace in the sun. A bit cloudy and colder wind, but the 18°c felt amazing, I’ve been waiting for this! We both got a little tan. We watched a movie in the evening and that’s really all that we did this day. We got nothing important done other than relax and enjoy each others company, which in a way is more important than anything else really.
I don’t have much clothes that fits me anymore, I’ve been living in this sweater haha
On Sunday at 8 am, I woke up by a kiss on my cheek and J told me there’s breakfast. He and T had went to get coffee and a tuna bagel for me. Just the best way to wake up:) Around 10 we both got off our butts and started to do stuff around the apartment. I gave J some tasks here and there (like vacuum, clean the bathtub, take recycle out and go through a box of computer stuff) while I went through the boxes in the storage room. My original wish when we still lived in NYC was that we will get rid of basically everything we own when leaving the north, but I’ve realized it’s stupid to get rid of all of it, I don’t feel like spending that money again, plus the things we have is stuff we like. And then I have soooo many books which is very hard to pack. Movers usually don’t seem to like moving tiny boxes but to fill big boxes with books is just not ideal since it’s so heavy. What is the smartest way?
After lunch, we sat down to do some tasks together, like make two playlists for the labor. One is filled with ambient calm music and one has more fun and pop’y music in case I feel that I need that:) Then we watched the Sox game and I finished making my very first crochet bunny that I have been making for “Lilliput”. It’s not perfect in any way but I am pretty proud of myself, it’s very cute. I do think the black nose and eyes kinda destroyed it though, it’s a bit harsh. I wanted to leave it with no face but that could also be a little creepy. Eh, whatever. It was fun to make so who knows maybe I’ll make more:)
After the game ended we listened to a hypnobirthing track together, it’s kinda like a meditation practice to prep yourself for giving birth. Jim fell asleep though haha. And then we didn’t do much, I watched some reality show and stretched my body and J played games on his computer.
My idea was to hang it on the stroller bassinet for the baby to look at but I don’t have a good clip for it.
Any ideas?
Thor got a haircut last week, he’s so cute
I have started to feel like a ticking 💣 now. I have no signs of being close to the birthday of my little love but I know it can change exactly whenever from now on. So this week and all the upcoming weeks I’m just gonna take each day as it comes. Preferably she/he will stay in there for a few more weeks, but we’ll see:)
