I have today & tomorrow off, yay! :) Today I think I'm just going to stay home & focus on cleaning, laundry & homework. Might also run to the store later to use some more WIC checks. I can't believe it's already December. Seems like just yesterday that 2009 was beginning. A lot has changed over the past year though..a lot of good & a lot bad. I only have nine more weeks left of my pregnancy. Fiona will be here before you know it! I need to remember to call about my leave of abscense papers for work today too. I'm going to try to make it through most of December before I decide what day I'm starting my maternity leave. I might start it two weeks before my due date. It all depends on how I feel I guess.

Today I have to work 2-9 & then I have Tuesday & Wednesday off. Wednesday is my next ultrasound to make sure that everything is okay. Plus I want them to double check the sex of the baby because Sean's mother is still insisting that we're having a boy, not a girl. She's insisting that all because when she had an ultrasound when she was pregnant with Adrien they said he was a girl but turned out to be a boy. Stupid...just because it happened to her it's happening to me...whatever. I try to ignore what she says.

Today is Deb's first day back from her vacation. She went to Florida for a week. I'm dying to know how her trip went! I've never been to Florida. Sean lived there for a short period of time & he liked it.

Well I should go start my laundry. Still trying to catch up on that!

Thanksgiving wasn't bad. Sean & I relaxed until I had to go to work. I worked 1-5. Felt like the longest four hours of my life! lol We were pretty busy too. Not as busy as we're going to be today of course but we were still busy. After work I went over to Ann & Richard's. Everyone was already there. The food was good, Lorelai had a blast. I actually got her into her own bed asleep a little after 9:30! Talk about a miracle! lol I was wiped out myself, I slept pretty good last night. Today I'm working 2-9. We're usually crazy busy on Black Friday. Thankfully two other people will be working tonight besides me. My next day off isn't until Tuesday. Plus I have Wednesday off which is when I'm having my next ultrasound.

Two days ago mom, Sean, Lorelai & I went to the Christmas Tree Shop. I found a Christmas present for my dad. It's a mug that says #1 Grandpa on it so I bought a couple boxes of hot chocolate to go with it. Mom found the train set that she wanted to get for Lorelai too. It was the last one! We found it tucked away in between a bunch of toys. So far the only people I have left to do Christmas shopping for is Sean & our niece Erika. Everyone else is done. We also got our pictures done that day. We couldn't do a Christmas background for the family portrait because it got torn so they had to take it down which sucked, so instead I chose a green background. Then we chose a Christmas background for just a picture of Lorelai which she wasn't too happy with. We couldn't really get her to smile after that. I did get one picture of just her that I liked so that was fine.

I haven't written in a couple days because I haven't been feeling good. I called off of work Saturday to stay home. I needed the extra sleep & rest. Yesterday I felt better than I did on Saturday but still felt achy. Mom cooked the Thanksgiving dinner yesterday since Sean isn't going with us to Ann's on Thanksgiving day. That subject did get brought up when mom & I brought Lorelai over to Ann & Richard's yesterday afternoon. Ann said she wanted to apologize because Sean not coming was not her & Richard's idea. She said it didn't feel right to her & that it wasn't fair & that it was the last time she was humoring Peter about it. I'm glad she told me that because I've been in the dark about that whole situation for the longest time & now I know.

I feel terrible going without Sean but he said I can go if he wants. He has the option of going over to his brother Eddie's house. I do want to go to see my cousin Brianna plus I'd like to make Peter feel uncomfortable. Considering the fact that I'm in my third trimester & definitely showing I think that will make him a little uncomfortable. I hope he feels like an ass. There's no reason Sean shouldn't be able to go. All Peter & Sean would have to do is not talk to each other.

While we were at Ann & Richard's yesterday Lorelai was walking all over the place. When she got too tired out she actually asked if we were going home,lol. I've never seen her do that before. When we came home we had our Thanksgiving dinner. Other than that Sean, Lorelai & I relaxed the rest of the night. I also worked on some more homework. I'm kind of stuck on one thing but I'll figure it out.

I have today off, yay! plus it's pay day! I'm saving most of my money for Wednesday when we go to the Christmas Tree Shop. I actually got to sleep in this morning until 10:00. Lorelai fell asleep by 11:00 last night too which was nice. I didn't fall asleep until around midnight though. Today I'm going to catch up on laundry & get the dishes done. Then once Sean gets home we're going to go get my paycheck & we have to run some errands. Right now Lorelai is enjoying her breakfast. I love that she's old enough for table foods now, even if it does mean dirtier diapers I don't care. She's such a big girl! Right now she's eating slices of a banana I cut up. Plus she likes using her sippy cups now so hopefully I can get her completely off the bottle by the time I have Fiona. Now it's time for me to get myself some breakfast, my tummy is grumbling! lol
