31 and a little fun

Friday again?  Wow!  You certainly won't hear me complaining, but man did another week go by fast!  I like when work flies by, but I need time to slow just a bit, we have so much to do at home to get ready for little man.  I think this weekend will be a bit on the busy side as we attack some more of that stuff!  Tonight though we're treating ourselves to a date night.  It might be the last nice warm day here so we're going to attempt to maybe eat outside, though I hear it could be windy, so I guess we'll see what the end of the day brings!

I had to laugh this morning.  The Pants Monkey was telling me all about the vivid dreams he had last night. And they were very weird!  I keep teasing him that he is getting sympathy pregnancy symptoms, as pregnant women can have very strange and vivid dreams.  I have had a few, but not quite in the detail he could remember this morning!

And speaking of pregnancy, we're 31 weeks today - hey, he's as old as me!  Kind of.  I remember when I turned 31 this year I deemed it the year of 30-fun.  Well, I've managed to have as much fun as a pregnant lady can, considering I'll have been withchild for half of my 31st year of life.  Next month I'll be 32 and I kind of hope the year of 32 is a little less eventful, as exciting as this all has been!

Hope you all have wonderful weekends!

Inspiration Monday - When it rains...

Welcome to Monday.  And oh, is it EVER a Monday.  I'll get to that in a minute, but we'll do the business stuff first - it's Inspiration Monday with two birds.  Today's picture is of Brandy.

And my interpretation is a bit of a "if you blink" type looks.  I kind of went after the shoes and capris more than anything else.  Yes, I'm pregnant and still busting out high heels like this.  At least for now.  I know that will change with each passing month, so I'll enjoy it while it lasts!

So why is my Monday SO a Monday?  Well first of all we had storms last night and they woke me up out of a dead sleep at 2:00 am.  And yes I realize in a few short months I'll be getting really familiar with 2:00 am, but right now I'm enjoying the full night's sleep while I can - so I wasn't happy about that.  Then this morning after Mr. Monkey got out of the shower he told me that the shower was backing up very badly.  We waited to see if it would drain - and it really didn't.  So I decided to forgo the shower this morning and opted for a "hobo shower" instead.  At least short hair makes it somewhat easy and I do take a bath at night, so it wasn't terribly hard to get clean enough, but I tell you, a shower really helps you wake up, so I'm missing that big time!  Today is also the first day my boss is out having her other knee done, so I'm flying solo - so I just hope the rest of the day isn't bad from here!

So anyway, that's my sob story and let's just say I really love my coffee today.  Yep, I'm one of the pregnant chicks who didn't give up caffeine.  I can have 200 mg a day and you bet I'll be taking full advantage of that today!

Mod

Hello everyone!  It's another beautiful sunny day!  It makes me happy to see the sun!  The other thing making me happy?  This super fun sort of mod like shirt I bought at the thrift store last week.  It reminds me a little of something out of the 1960's.  If it was just a little bit longer, it more or less would be a mini dress.  But since it's not and this mama doesn't want to look too odd, I added capris too.  

Tonight Mr. Monkey and I are going on a rare weeknight date night.  Our days and weekends have been just full of stuff lately.  Told you this baby wasn't slowing us down.  But it has left us with no time for each other and we need to savor those kinds of moments as much as possible over the next months, so we decided, let's treat ourselves tonight and get some dinner somewhere.  As long as this weather holds, you bet we will be eating outside somewhere!

I might not be able to indulge in beer any longer when we go out but I'm rediscovering a love of many non-alcoholic drinks that I forgot how much I enjoyed - lemonade for example.  Especially places that make their own and make them with fun flavors.  Also, root beer - if it is good quality like 1919 or something, man, that tastes good on a nice warm day!  And you can never go wrong with an ice cream shake, but I try to limit those just a wee bit!  Trying to keep weight gain to baby only if I can help it!  Any of you have a favorite non-alcoholic drink that isn't sodapop?
