5:45: I get up to go to the bathroom. An unfortunate aspect of being in the third trimester is the incredible shrinking bladder. Plus, I'm sure I woke up a few times to roll from left to ride side. My left side will get numb so I have to shift position. Probably 4 times a night. I'm pretty good about not sleeping on my back.
7 AM: Sofi woke up, ready to start the day and play! It took some coaxing, but I finally got up.
Fast forward to 10:30: Ransacking the house to find Sofi's ballet gear: leotard, tights, tutu, ballet shoes. The leotard was last to be found. It was hiding in the dryer, wound up with a tablecloth. Race to ballet class - 5 minutes late again! Then I went to work out. There is gym in the same building as Sofi's class, so I can sneak in at least 30 minutes of elliptical and some stretches while Sofi is in class.
Noon: We ate a leisurely lunch with Sofi's friend H and her mom in the same building. Peanut on whole wheat bread, carrots sticks and water. Us moms even managed to have some adult conversation while the kids ran around together.
1:45: Sofi and I headed to the children's museum for playdate #2 with Sofi's other friend H. Already feeling a little pooped, I brought my copy of Computer Tricks for Scrapbooking 3 by Jessica Sprague
and sat down while the girls played. A little break for me in between Sofi throwing some soft stuffed soccer balls at me. Usually I'm hovering about, chatting with H's mom while she runs after her kids - she also has boy under the age of two.
3:30: We all head to the Seattle's Best Coffee. I indulged and got one of those ridiculously high-caloried blended coffee drinks (decaf). It had whipped cream and chocolate syrup. Bad mama! (ETA: oh wait, I just checked the nutritional info - it was 320 calories. That's not too too terrible, right?)
4: Sofi and I stop by at Old Navy to pick up a new dress for her class photos next week. We find one on sale for 10 bucks! It passed Sofi's "twirl" test. Skirt flared up appropriately when she spun around. Score! But I end up buying matching shoes for $12.50.
4:30: Settle in to check my e-mail, hoping Sofi will want some quiet time just to herself. But no. She wants me to play Cranium with her. I say no but then relent after she does several chores: picking up several things off the floor, putting away her other games etc.
5: I start dinner. Reheat the pork tenderloin I made last night plus cook some fresh steamed rice. Chop some vegetables for steaming.
6: Sofi and Jamie settle down to play together while I type this post.....
Yes busy day!
