Week in review ~ part 2

Thursday morning we had an appointment to meet the new pediatrician taking over for Dr. Gallucci. I wanted to see what she was like, to see if we wanted to go with her, or try someone else. Dr. Struthers was very nice. I appreciated that she talked to Daniel and wasn’t condescending to me. That’s always a good sign. She was glad to hear Daniel hadn’t needed his inhaler since last spring.
Thursday afternoon, I made banana bread & crashed. My stomach was just rolling (which it has been doing off and on ever since!). I wasn’t able to get all the dishes done, so poor Kamali had to try and feed the boys in my mess of a kitchen!
Thursday evening, I was able to go to a Body Shop @ Home party. Kamali got here around 4:45, and I left at about 5 or so. Tina was hosting the party at her house. I’d made cookies and bread to contribute to the goodies. 🙂 I think I left my house too late because I got there just at 6p.m. We had such a fun time at the party. Tina’s neighbors were there, and they are very funny!! We all got to give ourselves foot baths and try all different kinds of body butters (lotions) and such. I ordered two things and also booked a party for August 26. Because I booked a party, I received a free body butter! That was exciting!!! I chose the “nut” scented one. 🙂 And I told Virginia, Gail & Danielle that they had to come to my party!! 🙂 We’ll be doing facials at that. I think I got home around 9. But it was such a fun evening.
Wednesday, I had an OB work-up appointment. This is when they write down & go over your medical history, past births, etc. I had been a little worried, because Tina was going to watch the boys, so I would be a little late for the appointment. I wasn’t super worried, just a little. Well, everything worked fine. Kamali was back from vacation, so she came over early enough for me to get to my appointment on time. 🙂 My appointment went well. I had nothing to worry about. The lady I talked to was very laid back. I got to see the Birthing Inn at Pearl Place Women’s care! It is a very nice place. Too bad I won’t be able to go there!! Anyway, I lost a pound!!! 🙂 Hurray!! My health history is good, and I was encouraged to exercise moderately (like taking a walk every day). I asked about maintaining my current caloric intake, but the nurses all said I should speak to the Dr. about that. July 26 I go back for another appointment. That one will be the whole she-bang. :p Thankfully my bloodwork has been done!!
Alright. I have talked your ear off long enough! Going to watch the original “Ladykillers” with Jef. Looks like fun!!
