It's the most wonderful time of year for me, for it is May. This year it's been even better with 3 straight weekends of fun stuff.
Today is my first Mother's Day even though I am only a mother-to-be. I was still excited about celebrating it. I haven't celebrated mother's day in about 4 years, since my own mother's passing in 2003. Vance was extremely sweet. He got me some really presents and gigantic card. We went out to lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant and now I suppose we'll just have the rest of the day to chill. Vance's mom also sent me a card and really sweet "mom" t-shirt. I feel really bad that Vance forgot to send off all of the Mother's Day cards. Looks like no one is getting them until Tues or Weds.
And Next Sunday is my birthday, the greatest and most important day of the year (next to Columbus day, of course.) I'll be 22. I'm still at a loss as to what we are going to do aside from the cake & pizza party, which I still have to invite people to. Saturday I know Vance's mom is coming down to help us get the "zoo" cleaned out. Even though we're not going to be using it as a nursery anymore, it would still help the moving process to get it cleaned now. What I really wanted to do on that day while they're out doing boring stuff is go to a spa and get a damn massage. My back and tail bone are killing me.
So it's beginning to feel like time has stalled with this pregnancy, which I think is normal when you hit that half way point. Right now I just feel like I am getting fat and swollen. The excitement has dulled just a bit. What a shame.
