have you ever played canasta? i got schooled by my mom and her friends - the same friends that were my "second moms" during my elementary years and threw my wedding shower before i got married. it was quite a grown up experience to be "one of them" for the day. we laughed a lot, there was even some "trash" talking (all g rated), and i really enjoyed it. p was home but had some work to do, so it gave us some space to be girls. he was really cute about it.
in the last 26 weeks i have also made much deeper connections with other moms. these are the same women i've been friends with for a few years now, but our interactions have just been different. it's like i'm being inducted into the motherhood club, and it's quite a cool experience. maybe it's the hormones making me more emotional and feel things deeper, but whatever it is i am savoring and soaking up every moment.
it was a long work week - long days, even longer commutes. today, the bart ride into work took over an hour and door to door the time spaned an hour and forty-five minutes. yep, really. thank goodness people get up and give me a seat these days.
i'm also back to wanting ice cream. i haven't really experienced cravings so much, but i was avoiding sweets and especially chocolate up until now. strange i know. but i'm back to my old self... next stop: the gym. i need to really get back into a more regular excercise program to stay strong through my third trimester (which i think is about a week away) and get my body ready to have this baby!
lots of words, time to bring this one to a close. more soon.
