Too much to do and not enough time to do it!

[rkold]

We're leaving for the wedding in less than a week and I feel like I have so much I still need to do! (Mostly trying to see if I can get my shoes fixed and what exactly is wrong with husband's suit, oh and we are hosting the Synagogue kiddush on Sat morning!) On the bright side, my midwife gave me the A-OK to travel to it and has given me copies of all my medical records just in case. I was so relieved, I'd had 1 high blood pressure reading at the appointment before last, 140 over 80 and it made me anxious I could have pre-eclampsia. But at the last appointment I was back down to the healthy and normal for me 110 over 70. So yeah, all seems right with Ryuchan. I'm getting in my kicks and as of last appointment her head is now down like it ought to be. I've finished 32 weeks and so have nearly finished 7 1/2 months (meaning I am in month 8!) It's all sort of amazing.

I've been ranty on my new parenting board because I am against red shirting as well as leaving back kids born in September-December in general. I know I personally loved being younger than most of my class mates. I am feeling thankful I live in CT since I'm pretty sure our cut-off is 12/31 so Ryuchan will have no problem being in elementary with the correct grade.

For the first time in many many many years I own a pair of jeans I love. Oh H&M maternity, how I love thee. They're comfy and stretchy and CUTE! I need to get a picture of me in them when my hair looks good. i.e. not today. Did I mention I got my hair professionally cut at an expensive salon specializing in curly hair? My hair tends to look great the first day now, but not as good on subsequent days once I start tying it back. Oh well.

So for those curious, I got the dresses I ordered from the UK in smaller sizes. The floral print dress I loved is a complete disaster and is completely unflattering. It makes my boobs look huge and super saggy at the same time. I also hate the V-neck as it is way too deep and you can see my bra. So they're all being returned, hopefully today. The other dress I ordered has a lot of potential... but is also slinkier which means... POLL TIME!






with the belt I need to figure out how to wear....

:D

BTW are you going to Coventry this week end? I so want to go cause Heirloom Tomatoes! That and the Baker's Creek people are going. ♥

Our weekend plans are not concrete yet, so we're not sure if we'll make it to the Coventry Farmer's Market. Daniel's parents want to get together sometime this weekend, and they will hopefully get back to us with details tomorrow.

I hope you have a great time at the market! Let me know how the heirloom tomatoes are!

EDIT:　Daniel's parents called, and apparently we're seeing them for lunch on Sunday.

Ah well, it would have been nice to see you. We're not going on the 5th as we will be in transit from CA.

I hope you guys have a nice lunch! :D BTW I love how the sweater is coming along, I think it will be a nice gift.
