Well my own Grammy has called me out on not blogging and it's time. I don't enjoy blogging without pictures but I haven't unpacked my camera charger yet and the battery is dead.
It's time to write something so here comes the randomness:
1. I'm Pregnant, started my 2nd trimester today. I'm due November 25th. If all goes according to plan we will have two September birthdays and two November birthdays. It's a good thing I love cake!
2. I passed the baton on sharing the pregnancy info with most of my family. I felt weird about sharing, I originally thought I was embarrassed, but with more contemplation on the subject I realized I just have a hard time being the center of attention. In fact, I hate it. I don't like doing anything that involves people staring at me. Naturally, I'm a Succo and can't help but open my big mouth and draw WAY too much attention to myself at times. If regret were a liquid you'd mop me right off the floor after moments like these.
3. I used to love grocery shopping. I loved getting out of the house to find a good bargain, to people watch, and to enjoy someone else's air conditioning. Now that I live up three flights of stairs I can't stand it. I dread it! Stairs are fine on their own, but I have a toddler who is slower than molasses, a belly that is only getting bigger, and arthritis in my hands. Those things combined cause me to really dislike shopping right now.
4. I love lists, I love crossing things off and feeling accomplished. In fact I love it so much I'll sometimes write things on my to do list that I've already done just so I can scratch it off. I even created a Pinterest board where I can move all the things I've done into one place and feel accomplished...silly I'm sure but I am who I am.
5. I'm thinking of getting my cat a leash...yup that's right. I'm seriously considering being the crazy cat lady that takes her cat on walks. It's not because I wish I had a dog. I just feel really bad that she is stuck in this small apartment. My cat is so crazy I'm afraid if I let her on the balcony alone she will jump the three stories after some bug, but if I had a leash I could give her some time to be outside without me standing there like a chaperon. It's still up for debate, I'll have to do more research about cats on leashes.
Well enough random for now, Happy 'Five Things Friday'.
Congrats Erin!! I am so happy for you! Next time you are in Oregon we have to get together! I miss you, and reading these things about you reminds me of how much I miss you! I know we weren't BFF's or anything, but we did have some good times! Sorry about the stairs, and you could try a cat tree for your cat to play on!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, congrats! Hooray for another little one! And I actually have a friend who walks her cats! It doesn't always work (our cat growing up would just lay down and make you drag him), but it can be an option. We let our cat out on our balconies, and after much supervision and trial, she is safe to be out there on her own. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another little one! That is so exciting for your family!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Yay for babies!!!I think you are SUPERWOMAN for managing this move while prego. I liked this list, it helped me get to know you better. Isn't pinterest fun?! It's total paradise for us list makers:) Now we DEF. need to get together (when you are up to it, of course) chasing after busy toddlers is tiring anyway....come let her wear herself out with my little one:) 801-450-8109 (I keep meaning to give you a call but only remember at the worst times, like 7am..or 10 pm)
ReplyDeleteYay!!!! That's so so so exciting! Congratulations and baby number 2!!! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI hate stairs and groceries too! I love lists too! Yay! :D
I'm so glad to see you back on here. I've missed you (and your lists) TONS and TONS! Yay for the second trimester, so FUN! I think you should shoot for Nov. 18th to have a baby, it is a GREAT day to have a baby. ;) Sorry about the stairs and groceries, doesn't sound too fun. :(
ReplyDeleteCongratulations again! So happy to become a grandpa yet again. I had the hardest time not saying something to you when I was there about wondering if a baby was on the way. I mentioned it to Sienna and made her promise not to say anything to you. You looked even more radiant than normal and that's pretty hard to do!
ReplyDeleteMuch Aloha,
Grandpa Again and again and again and.....
Congratulations!! We are moving down to Provo in August, I hope I'll be able to visit you sometime. Good luck!
