It's Friday, Friday

TGIF? Yeah, right. More like TGIS. Saturday.

You see, it's currently Friday night, and I will be so happy when Friday night is done and over with.

Why, you ask? Because Friday is a work night. Another busy work night. Tourism must be up in the city because it has been crazy all week at work, hence the lack of blogging and commenting.

Maybe a recap of my week? Okay. To be honest, most days blend into each other lately, so it will be short-ish.

Mother, sister and nephew came up to visit for a few hours. They got their first tour of my apartment. Nephew pulled out my baby swing and had it swinging and singing within minutes of being in the apartment. When it came time to turn it off, he showed ME how to do it when I couldn't figure out which button would make it stop singing. Surprises me sometimes, that smart little boy. We went out to eat Chinese food, a favorite among the girls in the family - brother is the only one who doesn't like it. We stopped at the park to let nephew play for awhile, then they headed home.

I had my last monthly doctor's appointment. Now I go every two weeks for awhile. It was quick and easy. I got to listen to babygirl's heartbeat, and they measured my belly, and all was well. They took my blood pressure which must've been a tiny bit low because she made a comment about how I wont have to worry about high blood pressure. Yay? What does low blood pressure even mean?

I got to work at both jobs. Part-time job double-booked me for a time when I was supposed to be at my full-time job, which annoyed me a lot. I've been working at both places for two years now and my availability has always been the same. My boss covered for me at the other job until I got there. I was TIRED when I got home. It's harder working two jobs when the hotel job is suddenly a LOT more busy.

Today

I had an amazing meal out with B. for lunch, wasted a lot of time, and headed to work.

Tomorrow

I'm getting up bright and early to meet for breakfast with A., who's in town for the weekend but I won't be. After breakfast I'm heading west, stopping to visit mother along the way, then staying with my grandfather for about 4 days. I'm pretty excited about it.

Hope you all have a good weekend!

Not Quite A Sick Day

Today has not been the best day.

I felt sick as soon as I woke up, and I don't know why. I don't feel like it's morning sickness.

I had my first baby doctor's appointment this morning, which I almost missed, but managed to drag myself to it.

It was just a meeting with a nurse, where she took down a bunch of my information like health background, and gave me a bag of free goodies - a book, a bunch of magazines, prenatal vitamin samples, information on going for an ultrasound. I had no idea you were supposed to go with a full bladder.

She did bloodwork (4 bottles, I think ew), weighed me (I've gained maybe 3lbs so far) and determined my due date (September 23 - one day off from what the internet predicted). I'll probably do a pregnancy update post after I take belly pictures in the next week, then go to my next appointment on the 19th.

And then I went home, had a popsicle and some juice, and napped the afternoon away.

As awesome as I am, I still came to work. What a mistake that was. It was a good night for being yelled at by strangers - 3 times. I think that's a record for me so far.

Gotta love working in customer service. They yell in my face, and then get a gift basket.
