Snuggled Up


It was a cold week, so we got Mary some warm clothes.  She can stand for a longer time by herself and walks well holding onto my fingers.  She got up early on Monday, so I thought we could get grocery shopping over first thing in the morning.  She fell asleep in the car on the way home and stayed asleep while I took her out of the car and put her in her crib.  She slept for two hours after that.

Tuesday Hannah texted me and asked if Mary and I wanted to join her and Addie at the Thinkery Children's Museum.  We met up there and Mary and Addie got to play for a couple of hours.  It is so fun watching them interact together.
Wednesday I FaceTimed with Clare Schramm.  It was great to talk to her and catch up.  Friday I went to a Relief Society holiday party.  I made my brie bites appetizer and it was well-liked.  It was really fun to meet more sisters in the ward.  Saturday we went over to Matt and Hannah's for pizza and to plan Thanksgiving weekend.

Highlights for the week are Monday I got to join in with Ben's weekly video call.  It was good to chat with him for a couple of hours.  I made a steak salad for dinner with bleu cheese dressing. Tuesday I felt excited about Andrew's assignment to create a PowerPoint presentation for my proposed idea for our family vacation in 1.5 years, so I put together a little slide show.  I made buffalo chicken sandwiches for dinner. Wednesday was my weekly doctor's appointment.  We decided we wouldn't induce me until after my due date and would see if Mary will come on her own in the next two weeks.  I have been able to feel contractions this week, so I am hopeful that this next week will be the week she arrives.  I made mom's nacho chicken for dinner.  It is one of our favorite meals.  Thursday I woke up and had a very itchy rash on my belly.  My whole belly was covered in small red dots.  I emailed my doctor and she said it was probably PUPPS and suggested I use hydrocortison

  We had a great week this week.  We had Hannah and Addie over on Tuesday and played at the playground at our complex.  Wednesday we went to a bigger park and met up with other moms and kids in the ward.  We played there for two hours.  Paul got to come home early on Wednesday, which was awesome.  We took my car in for an oil change and tire rotation.  I need new tires, so we'll take care of that next week. Thursday was Thanksgiving!  We had Matt, Hannah, and Addie over for dinner.  I made the turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes, as well as the gravy and a camembert appetizer.  Hannah made a yummy feta and berry green salad, fresh homemade rolls, and a rich chocolate cheesecake.  It was a fun evening together.  Hannah brought some crafts for Addie and Mary to make and wear turkey crowns.  We played some games and talked. Friday we drove down to Houston first thing and spent the day at the NASA Johnson Space Center.  We saw a full-sized spaceship, artifacts from the moon missions,

Monday was my first official day of being unemployed.  I went to the gym, installed our car seat, went for a walk in the afternoon, and got my covid booster shot.  The weather was beautiful for a walk.  It was sunny and in the 80s.  I got my booster shot in the building that is across the street from Paul's lab, so I went to see him afterward and we got some burgers together.  Because he took a dinner break with me he had to work a little later but he didn't mind. Happy anniversary to Jacob and Brianna on Tuesday!  Tuesday was a little crazy.  I went to the gym and realized I didn't have any cell service.  Dad had texted me the day before and arranged that I would keep service until I was able to switch to Paul's phone plan over the weekend.  I guess they did not honor his request.  I didn't have time to fix it right away so I finished my workout and got ready for the day.  I had a doctor's appointment that morning and I guess Mary was excited about it because s
