(no subject)
The weekend turned out a lot better than I had planned. Thankfully!!! The painting party went well and no one got hurt, mamed, or killed in the process. My mom brought her friend with her and between the two of them, they politely kicked my mother-in-law into a "supervisory" role. Meaning, they did't really let her help with the actual painting, but still made her feel like she was. It all worked out, which I'm grateful for. I hate this petty b/s. Overall the painting went well, but they didn't get as much done as they wanted to. It was so humid on Saturday, the paint just wasn't drying fast enough. Oh well it happens. They got the main painting done, but the stencilling and wall border are going to have to wait. I can't control the humidity, so we'll just have to finish up another day. But, I absolutely love the colors. Both the yellow and blue are so so bright and happy...it's going to be great when it's finally done.
Before the painting party started, we took my mom, my grandma, and my in-laws to watch a 3D ultrasound of the baby. We tried to do this a few weeks ago, but the baby just wouldn't cooperate. Well, we had no trouble this time around and we got some really awesome pictures. I'm going to try and add them in, but I'm retarded sometimes...so we'll see. I'll ask for help if I can't get it. Anyway, the baby is beautiful and perfect (and yes, I'm biased). It has my hands and mouth. Both my husband and I have strong Italian features so we're not quite positive about the eyes and nose yet. To see that little person was seriously the most amazing thing. I couldn't help myself, I cried...a lot. We saw the baby moving around, sucking it's thumb, swallowing, opening and closing it's eyes. Incredible!! As part of the package, we got a cd of all the pictures they took, plus a dvd of the whole session. The dvd is set to lull-a-bye music and made me cry even more watching it at home. I know, I'm pathetic. But I just can't help myself. I'm starting to get really excited now! Ok, I've been excited since day one of all this. But, we're probably looking at only another 8 weeks or so. That's not a lot of time. I'm getting very impatient too. I feel all these kicks and punches and we've seen a glimpse of our little miracle...it's getting so hard to wait another second. As much as I want this baby to be here, I'll be more than happy to wait until it's good and ready to make it's appearance. We have a little more cooking to do and I want to make sure that everything is 100% ready.
OH! So in other big new items, I got called in for an interview! Of course, I got the call Sunday late afternoon for a Monday morning time slot, but that's ok. I knew that it was probably going to happen sometime this week, so I wasn't totally caught short or anything. I think everything went very well. I had a very good dialogue going with the interview panel...it didn't hurt that they've been my co-workers for the last 2 years. I think I answered their questions thoroughly and had a couple good ones for them as well. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'm hopefull for a decision sooner rather than later. I would like to know if I need to call unemployment Monday morning or not. But, beggars can't be choosers...so I'm trying to keep my cool. It's harder than you think.
