Super Bummed

      Just found out since the company I work for has less than 50 people, I will only get a short 6 weeks off to be with Aubrey.   Wants to cry.

Happy Easter

      Today I wore all things maternity, capris, tank, and shirt. I went for a walk with my little cousins while the "Easter Bunny" hid eggs. When we got back they hunted while I sat and watched. It's super funny watching kids look for eggs you can see, but they can't. I got my fair share of laughs. We then celebrated my youngest cousins 8th birthday that happened to land on Easter Sunday. He opened a few gifts, and was excited when I gave him a gift card for a video game.  Before we could enjoy the Easter ham, I found myself making a to-go plate to take to work.

      I honestly forgot about the fun to be had on Easter, and how the holiday orients around family. Coming from a divorced family, I never really got to enjoy the gracious holiday the "right" way. So, I got to thinking; I want to start family traditions, and have family oriented Easter's. I want to watch Aubrey hunt for eggs in her extravagant, over the top Easter dress, watch her pose for the camera, and help make waffles for brunch while mommy has a mimosa or two. When I put my request to have the holidays off I didn't even put Easter on it, I am changing that now as of today. Again, I seriously forgot about Easter!!! Let's just hope Daddy can have that day off when it really counts. I need a baby/growing up book that I can jot down all these ideas that I think of. I really want to have a family Easter where we make waffles, and other breakfast goodies and get to enjoy the day together. I want to make silly Easter baskets that she can wake up to, dye eggs the night before. I want to make every holiday special for her, and that I will with the help and good company of family.

Farewell Spring Break

      It is now Sunday evening, and my spring break is nearing the end.  I am so sad to see it go, although I enjoyed sleeping in till noon everyday I'll be back on the school grind.  Hitting the ground running Monday am with math.  Yay.  The good part about going back to school is that I only have 7 weeks left to go.

      Quick spring break recap:

Monday: Worked
Tuesday: Went to the gym, Habit Burget, and Painted the apartment with Brett.  He refused to be in any pics at Habit, or let me take any.  He stated "why take pics, its a step up above McDonalds'', fine.
Wednesday:  Warriors game with Brett.

Thursday: We got to see our daughter at the ultra sound appointment, she looks like a baby now.  The tech also confirmed it's still a girl.  Worked out.  Spent some time with my friend Jennae who bought Aubrey's bedding, which is SO cute!

Friday: Worked, went to gym.
Saturday: Worked, went to Target to scan stuff for my registry!!!!
Sunday: present; writing this blog post, and going to work on some homework.

Ahh to Sleep in

    For the first time in what felt like months, Brett and I got to sleep in together.  No alarm to wake me up, no getting ready for school, just pure bliss of sleeping.  Well, unless you count the cats as an alarm.  It was so weird in the mid early morning I got a crazy cramp in my gastrocnemius (calf) and woke up to pain saying "ow ow oww oww oww oww" that woke Brett up, bless his heart for being so caring.  Tomorrow we have a date to go to the new Habit Buger that just opened last week.  It's just another chain but man, it is GOOOOD.  A guest at the hotel who was opening the restaurant gave me some coupons for a some free "charburgers" which by the way are to die for.  Then on Wednesday to celebrate Brett's birthday we are going to a Warriors basketball game that he's been so ancy and excited about.  That should be tons of fun, we don't ever get the chance to do things together so I am happy to be able to spend two days off with him.  I feel like the world suddenly stopped and gave us some time to spend together, I coudn't be happier.  I will post our burger and basketball date soon!
