Reflections on Easter while pregnant:
- Having running water in the large, seasonal baptismal font (more like a jacuzzi) in church is a very bad thing, especially when mass is longer than usual.
- Not eating lunch because dinner is at 4 and breakfast was at 10 is a very bad idea, especially when it causes one to pick at the velveeta cheese and artichoke leaves…all afternoon.
- Eating for two at Grandma’s should mean eating less than is customary for one, since there just isn’t room for baby and a full stomach in there. Oh, and desserts should be completely off-limits.
- If the above is not followed, large amounts of Tylenol and Tums should be taken before bed, to prevent agita.
- If the above advice is also not taken, one should expect to not be able to sleep. At all.
Other than that, though, yesterday was a very nice day. Almost our whole extended family was there – just my “baby” brother who couldn’t come home from college and a significant other or two were missing. Little Benjamin was the star of the party, of course, and I tried not to hog him, but it’s just so nice to hold little babies. I kept having to remind myself that I would soon have one of my own to hold as much as I want. (And I’ll probably be happy to have other people do most of the holding in big family gatherings, too!)
I promise, tomorrow, a big crafty post. All the work is done, I just have to find some energy to write. Maybe I’ll get some sleep tonight…where’s the Tums bottle?
You want a Tums bottle? How ’bout I send you mine – it’s brand spanking new (only two used). I really don’t know how people chew these things on a regular/daily basis. I could barely choke down the two I did have.
Glad to hear you had a great weekend with family.
