It's been awhile since I just had a normal blog update about my daily routine. Personally, when I read blogs that other people write, I like the ones that tell me more about their daily lives. That is the most interesting part of blogs, in my opinion.
Today I woke up very early, at 4:55 AM. This is fairly normal for me because my body usually gets me up at that time because staying in one position for too long while I'm asleep can be uncomfortable. I am sleeping with 5 pillows at night to support myself, so once I've exhausted every toss and turn, I usually have to get up.
My morning routine is pretty specific. I get up, make a breakfast of lowfat fruit yogurt and bran cereal, eat that while I take my vitamins and check my Facebook. I get into the shower and get ready at 5:45. I am then ready to carpool with Arthur by about 6:45 every morning. This morning was different because I wasn't feeling very well.
I told Arthur I didn't want to carpool today and I went back to sleep until he was getting ready to leave. When he left, I got up and started to slowly get going. Some days this just happens, and I have to be patient with myself if I can't keep up with the pace all of the time.
I got to work a bit later, and all of the Maternity parking spots were taken. As I was driving past the parking stalls for Maternity to check, there was a man, yes a MAN getting out of his car where he'd just parked in the last available stall. I may or may not have glared at him and shook my head. He just kept walking to the building. I guess I can't judge him, maybe he has a good reason. All I know is that if you're going to park in Maternity, then you should at least be a female. :)
I went in to work and stayed busy the whole day until I left around 5. I got home and checked the mail and I saw that my birthing gown was here! My birthing gown is something I ordered to wear to the hospital to have my baby in. There is something about the hospital gown that makes me feel like I'm sick, or a patient. I don't want to feel that way, so I ordered something that is functional like a hospital gown, but still helps me feel like a woman. It's brown with a blue tie. The shoulders are Velcro so breastfeeding is easy. The front unties so the back can be exposed if needed. It's long enough that it covers my knees. I tried it on and I'm so happy I got it! It's going to be nice to have something comfortable to wear in the hospital that doesn't make me feel like I'm a patient in. :)
After I tried on my gown, I needed a nap. Arthur came home at 7:30 and I was still napping. He made dinner even though it was my night. Arthur is a champion! I appreciated not having to cook.
We watched America's Got Talent and a few other shows while we ate dinner. My back was hurting so I took a quick bath and now I'm just getting my blogging wrapped up before we go to bed at 11. That's a pretty normal day for me aside from the fact that I didn't carpool. A little boring, maybe - but I know that my life will no longer be boring in 36ish days! :)
Another update tomorrow! :)

LOVE your birthing gown! Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteI hate the maternity gowns at the hospital!! They are horrible, but I didn't even think of any other options! Good for you!
