This last weekend was probably the best weekend we have had since this little one joined the picture.  It was the first time in a very long time that I actually had full on energy.  When things like this happen, we tend to jump on it real fast because we never know how long itll last.  We slept in on Saturday and decided to finally cash in an ArcLight gift card we got before Christmas.  A little early afternoon movie time!  This may seem SUPER elderly of us, but we love going to the movies early in the day.  It’s nice to come out of a dark theatre and realize that you have an entire day left to do whatever.

After much debating we went and saw Oz the great and powerful.  Which I actually enjoyed a lot, and totally cried a few times (hormones).  My lovely husband agreed to share popcorn with me AND let me get a hot dog : ) (pregnancycravings)  When the movie was over we walked around in the sunshine a bit, poking our heads in shops here and there, and then headed to lunch at The Counter.  Which, by the way, if you live in Pasadena and have not been to this place yet…go…build your burger!  Taste and see that it is good!  Ooo, and split a pile of regular and sweet potato fries.

(good lord i love this man…i have never felt more taken care of in my life…and even when im being totally irrationally pregnant…hes super supportive, helpful beyond measure, and extra loving…sothankfulindeed)

We wrapped up our little outing and went home and partly napped – partly snuggled, while we watched Harry Potter and I did crafty things in bed.

And then the real exciting thing happened.  I got up and completely cleaned up our room, got things on the wall, and organized it how I wanted to.

I’m not sure exactly when this nesting thing hits, but it has hit me hard.  With the thought of this little one coming along, somehow the hand me down things we’ve acquired and were perfectly fine for the two of us, are not cutting it.  I want to redo everything and make sure every part of our home is ours.  Our room was just the beginning.  I have great plans for each little space in our little apartment and I cant wait to get to the next room : ).

I’m so in love with our room now that its done (mostly) that I only really want to hang out in there.  On Sunday morning I ate breakfast and watched tv, and read in bed.  I didn’t really move until I had to leave to go grab coffee with a friend.

So all in all, it was a pretty solid weekend, of relaxing, fun little outings, and getting things done.

Just a quick little side note as well…tomorrow is our doctors appointment and we’ll be 17 weeks!  We’re are REALLY hoping that we’ll get a good look at our little babes and find out whether its a he or a she!  I keep talking to my belly and asking our baby to make sure to lay in a position where we can see what their workin with, so hopefully tomorrows little letter from M will include a name : )
