Sequins and fake gemstones

I swear this child is trying to push my ribs out to get more room. I know she’s getting squishier and squishier in there, but she needs to learn, you can’t just push bones to the side!

I feel like my mind is going. All day, and really all week, I’ve been so certain that tomorrow is Saturday that I’m doing things in preparation, or in expectation of being out all morning. It’s really rather frustrating. Jake likes it because he knows I now truly understand how he was early on when he had no clue of what day it was, and I like that he knows how frustrating this is and isn’t all "haha you’re losing it." I’m really hoping this fixes up a bit after the weekend, I don’t know if I can last much longer.

I wrote up a whole stack of christmas cards today. Semi-generic message inside, but it was the best I could do. I’m pretty certain every card got into the right envelope, I did check twice. We went to the post office because I had to mail off a package, and I was 6 stamps short (now I no longer have a stash of international stamps. Beh). Thankfully while I was next in line, one of the nice guys that knows us opened the other counter so he could serve us. He helped me remove the international stamps from the canada envelopes because I for some reason put them on the wrong thing. I hope those two stamps stay stuck on the envelopes they were transfered to. I’m sure he would’ve put tape over them or something if not, he should know, he works with stamps and things… right? Ugh. Got home and realised I’d forgotten to write a card, but thankfully it doesn’t have far to go so it doesn’t matter too much. The international stuff in done and that’s a relief.

Title: Things on some of the christmas cards I have received so far. I could also add glitter, but that card is from me (I made a mistake earlier, so I scribbled it out and wrote to Jake and I from me and Jake. heh)

We had apple crumble for dessert, and now I’m all full of oats and apple. It feels like such a healthy dessert, but MAN is it delicious. It is the favourite for both of us. We’re simple folk like that.

I just realised that at my next doctor’s appointment, that day will mark 6 months since I found out I was pregnant. Wow time flies. The only reason I know that is because the day before, Jenn’s little girl is 6 months old.

A few weeks/months ago, the pregnancy emails I get would always say something like "I bet you’re wondering if you’ll ever see your belly button again!" and that still amuses me because… I still have mine. It’s shallower, sure, but it’s hanging on strong. I wonder if it will ever go flat/pop out? Maybe it is just another thing to add to the list of "I was expecting it, therefore it didn’t happen." Like stretch marks, none of those yet. The only thing I can think of in the past to fit this catagory was when I made red velvet cupcakes, I dressed in clothes I WANTED to get splattered with red goo, because then I would have an excuse to get rid of them. I didn’t get anything anywhere.

A while ago I mentioned my knee was buggered up? Well it is pretty much fixed now. The other day I could even get down on the floor, kneeling, to clean up some mess. Would not have been able to do that before. It is nice to have a bit of movement-related freedom again. I credit Lisa with the healing, she touched my knee for a while when she was here the evening before my appointment last week, and ever since it has been drastically better every day. YAY.

I’m mostly just rambling waiting for 8pm, and that’s almost here now, so…
