Oh fall semester, how I love to loathe thee.
Second week of school is underway, and I am already slightly overwhelmed with my whopping ONE class. But I finally was able to do my first homework assignment tonight (no idea when it's due, so I am doing homework as we cover the subject matter in class for as along as possible...) so for the moment I am completely on task. Since I am the one tasking myself.
Baby Boy is moving and shaking! It's pretty fantastic. I don't start kick counts for a few more weeks, but of course I am trying to learn his routine and just revel in his thumps. Now whenever Bellamy talks to him she starts every conversation with "Well hello, Baby Harrison Grey Fougner!" She's so proper.
Sunday my friend Erin watched her so Rich and I could go to Dr Hulka's Labor Day party, and I had her all amped up for it by talking about her 'playdate.' She was so excited she had to pack a bag, and was rehearsing what she was going to say on the way over. Adorable. And her and Gabrielle got along famously, which was an added bonus. She's such a big girl! I was so happy I cried on the way home...it had been such a nice weekend with her and Rico I was feeling exceptionally thankful and totally cried. For such a bruiser (she's into wrestling, and kinda beats up her Cousin Danny) she is also a little lady.
We also went up to my dad's last weekend for a night, and Rico totally relaxed, and shot alot of pool. He played dad, Marcia, and a cute young kid named Mason from down the street. We took B on a nature walk, which she wasn't a fan of, though she was excited to wear her new princess sneaks. I napped. Which was delish. I hope to have a few more weekends like that before little man arrives.
My maternity leave nest egg check was mailed today, and hopefully I'll get my school money this week. I am looking forward to that stress being officially wiped out! Exciting.Then we can buy a crib, and then head to babies r us to register for all the other fun gear.
I have to figure out a solid routine during the week though. I have been so tired, and so stressed about not doing laundry/cleaning/homework fast enough, on top of trying to actually spend time with Richie and B, and also relax and sleep, that I've had myself all worked up. Last night I pretty much passed out after work, school, and getting B to bed, but not before I unloaded the dishes and did one load of laundry. Today R put it away for me, and I did another load when I got home, and did homework after B went to bed. So...I've done a little everything, which is gonna have to do for now. Tomorrow after school I am going to the gym, since R will be around to get B.
Everything will work itself out in the end I guess. I just need to try and stay relaxed.
