~Weekend Festivities ~

So the weekend came and went ...and yes i'm STILL pregnant .... Friday was my grandfather's yearly christmas party so we showed up there around 6 and had some pizza and opened summer's gifts. She got a new trike, a moose , and some christmas footed pyjamas (that i LOVE!) It was nice to see every one , although i was poked and proded all night and my welcome greeting was " jeez you look like a house " ( thanks for that by the way)....After the party me and summer dropped off tyler (our cousin) to his gramma's and headed home , when we then realized we had no gas and josh had already left with all our money ...so back to the party we went to grab 10 bucks from my dad for gas ....when i was bombarded with suggestions of gas bars that pump the gas for you (even though there's a self serve 2 seconds down the street, on my way home) , i had to exclaim " i'm pregnant not incompetent " and off i went to the station to pump my 10$ of gas for myself ...
Saturday i woke to find i had caught summer's eye infection and felt sicker then i had on friday ...so i relaxed all day until josh got home and we made our way to the afterhours clinic . After about a half hours wait i got in , explained the situation ( and yes mentioned i was 41 weeks pregnant to the nurse) and the doctor came in looked at my eyes and wanted me to stand up and breath deep so he could check my breathing ( i assume) he then said " are you pregnant or just shaped funny ?" i was was like "YES" haha then he asks when i was due and i said last thursday ..he laughed (no i'm not kidding) and said that if i went into labor i had to bring in the antibiotics and eye drops with me so they would know i was on them .. i'm hoping this doesn't mean that they will affect any drugs i will most definitely be needing when i get there ... We then went home and i attempted to sleep yet was unsuccessful , got out of bed and made my way to couch dreading the thought that all that was on TV was stupid infomercials ...but to my surprise the christmas carol from like 1920 was on ....

Got up with summer at 9 on sunday and felt a bit better so decided to get ready for the playgroup's christmas party at 1 ...Josh brought us in town because of the impending snow storm , dropped us off at Ashley's house (he then wasted some time by finishing his christmas shopping ) The party was great ! , there was lots of kids ..they decorated some gingerbread houses , summer mostly just ate the candy lol, had some snacks and we all opened our gifts from secret santa's . Summer got a winnie the pooh lego set and i got a really nice picture frame , then the kids played for a bit and we waited for josh to pick us up. When he got there he came up stairs to get summer , as i had a bunch of stuff to carry and ended up slipping at the bottom of the stairs and of course being the good daddy that he is , he ended up hurting himself just to make sure Summer didn't hit the ground although i think she got a bit of a scare because when i looked out she was crying standing up while josh was standing there in pain ..so i helped her into the truck and josh was fine after a minute ...We made our way home threw the blustery streets of fredericton and ones that were worse outside the city. To my surprise i ended up having contractions for the entire evening and thought we may have to venture out in it again but i went to bed and woke up with nothing this morning so no luck again ..

...anywho i'm off to bingo tonight (the jackpot is now like 8600$ ) and here's hopping i win it because this will most likely be the last time i go for awhile ...

Good luck tonight, Candace! You had one busy weekend, it's a wonder your little one hasn't tried to venture out from all the festivities! Oh well, she'll be here Thursday, and that is SO exciting! Get Josh to announce it somewhere so all us girls will know!!
