weird monday

so today, at playgroup (sofia's favorite monday activity), i realized that this was the last playgroup session i would attend with Sofia, before daughter #2 makes her entrance. from here on out, i have a non-stress test and a sonogram scheduled for every Monday and (non holiday) Thursday until baby is born. that kind of rocked my world. i was aware enough to remind my mom that her shifts at playgroup begin next week when we spoke this morning, but i guess it hadn't really sunk in to my brain yet. it hit me while i was there and i only mentioned it to the one mom that im friendly with, and one of the ladies that runs the group, but i dont think it sunk in with them yet either. i found myself saying "enjoy the holidays" as i left, but i think i was the only one who realized i meant thanksgiving, and christmas/chanukkah, and new years, and probably presidents day too. crazy weird.

um, what else. oh bought a box of ring dings today, i was so happy. it was one of 4 boxes up by the register at a local supermarket. im concerned that they'll cease to exist if hostess cant figure out how to pay their workers well. though, i guess my love for ring dings would be tainted by knowing that the people who create these delectable confections cant pay their bills. i hope it works out for all of us. union workers, i hope you get the financial compensation that you need, so that i can continue to enjoy the wonder that is ring dings.

sprinkle on saturday was great. ate a ton, was very happy. here is one of my fave pics from the day. everything was pretty much perfect. i had even gotten to enjoy a delicious  sangria spritzer before it became further spiked by a rowdy party guest and an undetermined amount of vodka that somehow made its way into the already alcoholic sangria. luckily lovedove had witnessed the act so she was able to save me from drinking the second mini spritzer i had poured. as a punishment to the culprit i dumped my drink down the sink, something i would NEVER do normally, i'd usually find someone else to drink it, but i was mad i couldnt have any more. well, that wasn't necessarily true because my sister heard about the incident and realized that non alcoholics were enjoying the beverage sans vodka, and made another pitcher of "regular strength" sangria for the party guests. i decided it was my cue to just stick to water for the rest of the day anyway. funny note, about an hour after that, my dad who tends to linger around parties at the house and enjoys the company of women (because he's kind of a feminine man, dont tell him i said that but it takes him longer to get ready than an apt full of women) thought  he was being helpful/thoughtful when he later combined the two half full pitchers. le sigh. it was fine, the party was pretty much done anyway. overall a lovely lovely day. got lots of gift cards which was exactly what we need, and not too much new stuff, bc truly we dont need any. we've been storing all new items in the crib, its getting a little full. ill take a pic and post that to prove it (soon, i swear).

tomorrow im doing laundry and then work, weds im cleaning, going for my nst and sono, and heading to work, then its thanksgiving, then we're full speed ahead on 2x weekly dr visits. wow wow wow. i dont know whats crazier, that im already in the single digit week count down to baby, or that this blog has 10,400 page views as of today.

happy thanksgiving everyone!
