"Baby-Free" Weekend #2

Will there be yet another "Baby-Free" weekend in our future? I guess that's up to baby.

Huzbend wasn't happy that the baby did not decide to show up on Friday. He really doesn't like to wait for anything. For instance, if he wants to buy something and it isn't in stock, he'll just not buy it. He won't even have the store order it. Even if he REALLY wants it. He'd rather drive to another store to see if he can get it there. You could say that one of his super-hero aliases is "Instant-Gratification-Man". So, he gave her a stern lecture about how it's only polite and respectful to be on-time for appointments. He also told her that as soon as she gets outta my belly she is SO grounded. No video games or tv for her. Poor kid.

Saturday was used to get a few more house things done. I finally assembled our desktop computer. I was putting it off because of the sheer amount of cables there were. But, I figured them all out and now we have a total of THREE computers in the house. Please note that they are all within four feet of eachother and yet running on a wireless network. How funny is that?

After that was done, we ventured out to Denny's for "Eleven-sies". Do you know that huzbend eats, on average, three breakfasts a day? Yes. THREE. On a normal day during the work week he will get up at the crack of dawn and have a bowl of Cheerios with banana slices and a protein shake. Then he does some weight lifting. Next, he will prepare to cycle to work. Before he leaves the house he has two whole wheat waffles and a glass of water. After he gets to work and showers he stops at the cafeteria to have a bowl of oatmeal. He then eats lunch everyday at 11:30am. Amazing.

We went looking for a coffee table and could not decide on anything, as usual. We did purchase an audio/video stand for the tv down in the gym. We made our way home and huzbend put it together. It looks very nice and organized now. We have concluded that we will no longer buy any furniture that comes in a box (i.e. that needs customer assembly). We are SO SICK of cardboard and styrofoam. I hate styrofoam. If I have to just look at styrofoam again in the next month or so, I will puke. No, really I will. You wanna bet? Dude, don't dare me. I so will.

Then we got a call from some friends. Seems that they had gotten a gift certificate for The Cheesecake Factory from the real estate agent they recommended to us. They wanted to know if we would like to join them for dinner. Join them we did. The second time was just as good as the first. I couldn't resist and had another peice of cheesecake for dessert. This time it was Carrot Cake Cheesecake.

Sunday, huzbend went for his long bike ride and I hung out at home. I decided to walk to a nearby playground to check it out. It was a nice walk, but by the time I got home I was exhausted. You can't really tell how steep the hills are around here until you actually walk them while pregnant. I was so out of breath by the time I got home you would have thought that I had sprinted there and back. How embarrassing. I think I almost pulled an ass muscle on top of it.

After my excursion, I decided to take it easy and watch a movie and do some laundry. Total excitement. Pork log was for dinner. Huzbend spiced it up a bit by adding maple syrup infused pineapple rings to put on top of the teriaki flavored pork. It made the pork most edible. I ate all of it.

Tomorrow, I have another appointment with the OB/GYN. They never called about the possibility of an induction on Wednesday of this week. I guess I was going to tell them "No" anyways. Now that baby is late, it really is tempting to say, "Sure. Induce away. Get this kid outta me." But, I'll try to be patient. Besides, maybe we can fit just one more trip to the Cheesecake Factory in before she comes. I'll try the Dulce de Leche Cheesecake this time. Drool.
