Weekend Update

Had a great weekend, despite the exhaustion that is setting in for me. I'm only 22 weeks but I feel like I'm carrying an extra 100 pounds with everything I do. Considering I've only gained 5 pounds it really doesn't add up!

Anyway, Carter stayed at gramma and papa Craig's Friday night. Dan and I got to go out for dinner which was nice. We decided to go downtown and although it was really busy (due to a London Knights game and the lighting of the lights in Victoria Park), the weather was amazing so it was nice to walk around.

Saturday Dan was gone to Toronto to watch a Jiu Jitzu tournament and I met up with Carter and the rest of the family at the west London Santa Claus Parade. As usual Carter loved it. Every time there was a break in floats he turned to me and said "more, more!" The rest of the day we took it easy. Carter was very concerned about Dan getting dinner since he wasn't with us. "Where's daddy's dinner?" he asked multiple times in a very concerned tone. I do have to admit that I burped at one point while we were eating (it's a pregnancy side affect, I swear!) to which Carter replied "OH MY GOODNESS!!" We both had a good laugh after that! After dinner we cuddled on the couch to watch Finding Nemo, which took us right to bed time. Luckily Dan got home just in time to say goodnight so all was right with the world again. Dan went out after for a friends birthday so I spent the night wrapping Christmas presents. I am officially done and couldn't be happier. The way I'm feeling, I don't know that I'll even be able to move by Christmas! Ugh!

Today was a pretty lazy day. Carter woke up at 7am but just played in his room quietly until 9am when we went in to get him. Who knows how long he would have stayed in there as he wasn't saying anything. We just knew he was awake because he kept turning on his monitor music every time it stopped, which is every 15 minutes. He refused to nap this afternoon which was a little concerning since we had a family dinner to go to tonight but all went well. He decided to start calling Great Gramma Essey just "Essey" which was quite entertaining. "Essey, come here!", "Essey, play!" Hopefully he doesn't start calling everyone by just their last name!

That's it, that's all! I'm off to bed for what I'm hoping will be a full nights sleep that begins before 1am as has been the norm lately! Hope everyone else had a great weekend as well.
