Holiday Weekend
Holiday weekend! Brian and I took off today so we have a four day weekend. The car has to go in for service and I want to get a few things at the supermarket then we have the entire day for Family Day. Maybe we'll go on the boat if it's not too windy like they're predicting.
Brian and I met for a secret date for lunch yesterday. It just happened to be a good day for me to get away so when we were outside on a fire drill, I called him and made plans to go. We had not gone anywhere or done anything just the two of us without Ian in months. I could not remember the last time we had a date without Ian! So it was very nice. We went to the Chinese buffet since the sushi place we wanted to go was closed. I got to eat "junk food" which I usually avoid at all costs.
I'm starting to wonder if I might be pregnant. I'm not getting excited yet. I have thought I was pregnant before when I was not. My ovulation symptoms are getting so strong now it's like my body wants a baby. I'm sensitive to smells, I get up at night to pee every night now (I usually don't) and I have to sit on the edge of the bed before getting up in the morning to avoid getting really dizzy. The last sign that I always get during early pregnancy is to be out of breath when I carry Ian. I'll have to look for that one. I'm not celebrating anything until I reach the 6 week mark and actually see a yolk sac. In my other two m/c I never made it past the 6 week mark nor saw a yolk sac. The embryos never implanted but I had pregnancy symptoms and tested positive. I'm not even testing this time until my period is several weeks late. We'll see. It will happen when it's meant to happen. People who can predict that sort of thing have told me I will have two boys so we're pretty sure we want just Ian and someone else after Ian. Hopefully this is it but there's always next month too.
I'm meeting with the Vice President on monday who will be my new boss. She wants to discuss what my new salary will be and when I can start the new position. I have a conference to go to and I hired someone new as a counselor who I want to start training. Plus I have to train my replacement if she chooses to go full-time. I planned a week off just to stay home in the first week of August so hopefully the 2nd week of August I will be at my new position 5 days a week. Right now I am still just training and going there one day a week. Then after the conference, I want to go there 2-3 days a week and transition away slowly. Soon! I have a lot of good things going for me.
One more good thing. We are getting a big fence. In our case, good fences do make good neighbors. We live next door to an "eyesore" house. They're nice people- they just don't care about the appearance of their house since they rent and their landlord mows the lawn only about once a month. It should be ready in time for Ian's 2nd birthday party- July 26. Hooray! I didn't want a big birthday party for his 2nd birthday but it just grew bigger and bigger and is now "a big party". It will be fun and I am looking forward to it now. Here's a pic of my little man in his new Big Bed.
