Week 25 and I feel fine!

Also got a raise today! YAY!!

Babe Habee has been pushing my lower abdomen with elbows or hands alot in the past day or two. Like right now. Feels like he is doing some power walking, without the walking part. Or maybe that TaiBo excercise where you pretend you are hitting the small boxing bag above your head. It is lot of movement and happening pretty quickly. Also, began getting some feet movements in my upper abdomen, nearing my ribs. This, I remember. But it still feels strange. Some of the motions lately make me feel a bit noxious, yet I don't want to throw up. But, they are pushing and poking in some strange places.

Per Dr. Nopain, the baby weighs 1.7 pounds as of last Thursday, and is doing very well. We saw his face some on the monitor and that was really weird. Of course it is in black and white, but it is pretty close to seeing a real person. Getting more detailed every time we go. This is all still very odd to me.

Had a scare/anger moment earlier, Adam slipped up and told me there was a 2nd bomb threat at his work. This made me freak out! I had to hang up. he didn't want me to worry, which, after pondering/feeling the stupid emotions of it all, I UNDERSTAND (yes, I said it...). but still became very upset. The first one was last week. This time, though, since the threat was against the animal lab, they evacuated that floor and his floor since he is right above the animal lab. FOR 2 HOURS!!! They found nothing, which was very good. Still worried me though. Course, his mom called while they were all outside, and he told her what was happening...but not me. I was upset about that too. He didn't tell her not to tell me, he just hadn't told me yet. Okay, done...over it. Although, we are pricing all this life insurance right now, which seems to add to the scariness of it all.

Anyways, enough of that!

Let me type about my weekend! I spent most of saturday shopping...and having a sad mood swing because I miss Erin so much. I called Adam crying, after pulling over and told him that I was sad and missed her. I was listening to music, and the weather was beautiful, and running errands, and miss her. So, I gathered myself together, and then called Erin...and cried some more. She did have some trouble deciphering my words a bit, but I was able to repeat myself so she could understand. I think it made her feel good that she is not the only one who feels these crazy feelings. So we talked about her upcoming trip to Israel, and her school, and how she has been partying more since her big birthday, and school has been suffering. Funny, she will be out of town for Jared's birthday, and he wasn't able to go out for her birthday...

So, I finished my shopping, and came home to relax, and then cook a bunch for Danielle's shower. I made some fabulous sandwiches: Tarragon-caper egg salad with Norweigen smoked salmon and watercress on some lovely rolls (sourdough, 3 seed, and 10 grain). I also made portobello sauteed with onions on pumpernickel with red leaf lettuce, tomato, and a tahini sauce. The mushroom mixture was kinda spicy with the cajun seasoning I added. But it was great. Then I had some cubed white cheese overnight soaking with green olives, tomatos, artichokes in olive oil. I had some cheese from Spain that was just like brie but a little milder, with some crackers and a sliced up french baguette loaf. There were grapes and pineapple, and carrots, and then Ang made some delicious desserts! lemon white chocolate ganache truffles with blueberry in the middle, carrot cake mini muffins with cream cheese icing and little carrots on top, and tuxedo chocolate covered strawberries, as well as dark chocolate covered strawberries. MMMMM MMMMM MMMMMM!!!

Oh, so the limo picked me up at 10:15am, and we were off eating and drinking champagne on the way to the nail salon. Got manicures and pedicures, and then ate some more. Danielle opened her friend April's gift, and then we took April back to the nail salon. From there we picked up Jacque and more champagne, and headed to low tea at the very special hotel where Ang had her 30th birthday party. We sat in the same area! HA!

There we stuffed our faces on 5 different sandwiches, along with the Rainforest Mote' tea. Then we had a golden raisin scone with devonshire cream and strawberry jam served with the vanilla bean tea. Then we had 4 desserts that included passion fruit cream cake, chocolate sesame crisp, mango maccaroon, and a raspberry torte served with the Pear Caramel tea. We were stuffed, but there were also white, regular and dark chocolate truffles to be had. Which...I did! :)

The limo took us all home, and I hit the couch at about 8:30 or so, after finding I had forgotten my house keys and had to call Adam to let me in. He, of course, was at Claire's house!

Lovely, lovely day!
