Thankful Thursdays

Fri - The hole in the kitchen wall -- so much fun to use this "entrance" before it gets patched up in a few days. 

Sat - Kaiser classes -- today's was on breastfeeding.  I can't decide if it's genius or impersonal to get all your information through various classes rather than from the doctor.  I suppose if I was a doctor, I would not want to be repeating the same stuff to my patients all of the time, day in and day out. 

Sun - Celebration of life - A family friend will be passing on soon.  We used to go camping every summer with them where we would dive for abalone and then cook it all up (my job was to pound the crap out of it because abalone is very tough).  Anyway, he wanted to have a big party and see everyone while he was still alive.  How can you say no to that?

Mon - Breakfast at home -- the eating out thing is getting old with the lack of kitchen.  But at least breakfast is super easy. 

Tues - Pulled an 18 hour work day and was actually ok with it. Not that I like working that much.  But just the fact that it was an extremely productive workday with many accomplishments. 

Wed - Only 10lbs gained so far -- I was avoiding the scale at home because I feel and look as if I've gained 30 lbs. So it was a happy surprise at the doctor's office. I'm hoping it's not because I have lost a ton of muscle, although I'm sure I have. I'm supposed to gain 11 more lbs between now and the due date, so I'm right on track. 

Thur - Another class -- this one was learning all the things that no one likes to talk about -- like that you may not poop for 3-5 days after giving birth, what a sitz bath is, or that you will need to wear diapers for awhile.  The winner was that you only need to call your doctor if you happen to pass a blood clot larger than a lemon (but I guess you don't if it's the size of a lime?).  Seriously?!?!
