- Abigail is 6 weeks tomorrow and I'm STILL bleeding. It picked up enough for me to think maybe there's something wrong, or maybe I have my period super early, but my MW says it's normal, not likely my period, and usually a sign that it's almost done. At 6 weeks PP, all I have to say is, "YA THINK?!"
- Abby WILL NOT nap without being held. Except for today, where she slept in her carseat, and now on the couch. Well, now she's waking up, but still. I'm loving today.
- it's Friday, which means Matt is *nearly* done work for the week. Here's hoping I can convince him that we need a date night to Chapters tonight. A date night with two kids anyway... :)
- tomorrow I'm going to N's baby shower. I love pregnant-after-infertility baby showers!!! I've spoiled her rotten, and I love it.
- I got to spend some time with 3 girlfriends from highschool this morning. I am so glad and grateful that we've kept in touch, and are friends even though we've all grown up and are different than people we were in highschool. We were all pregnant at the same time this year, and I was the last to have my baby, so now there are the 4 of us and 6 little ones ages 2 and under, with another on the way! We can only count one time since we began our quarterly get-togethers when one of us wasn't pregnant, and it was when Elijah was 2 months old.
Sometimes I think of what it'd be like to have these friends if I DIDN'T have Elijah and Abigail, and how hard it'd be. I honestly don't think I would be able to hang out with them, and feel so very (VERY) left out. I hate that there is a Mom Club, I really do, but I am so thankful to not be on the outside anymore. I was there for long enough to know that it sucks and hurts, and I'm so glad these particular friends didn't have their children when I wasn't included in the Mom Club. A tender mercy of Heavenly Father, I think.
As it is, we can enjoy one another's company, and I can take pictures of their adorable kids! For instance:

[/caption]- I found out today, as I mentioned before, that one of my friends is pregnant again with her third. I am ridiculously excited for her, hence the extra bullet point. She's due in mid July, is about 5.5 weeks along, and is not telling the general world yet, so I felt pretty honoured that I was along her list of people she would want to tell early on. Although, I must admit, she might have only told me because apart from eachother, we don't really have any mutual friends and probably won't get together for another couple months. ;)
Maybe I had more to say, but I'm pretty distracted. It's now 10:36pm, and we've been watching Captain America, and I can't remember much else that I was going to say. Oh, except for Christmas lights. They are up, and I miss putting my own up, but I'm getting SO excited for Christmas!
