Surviving the Domestic Jungle

I am having such a busy, social weekend that I have not had the time to write! I am having a blast with old and new friends. Last night we had dinner with my best bud and that was a great time and today a friend from the past came over with her family and we had so much fun! Their little baby is 5 months old and sweet as a button and having a baby around was good for me because I will be having one myself in a few weeks. These last few weeks are flying by at an alarming rate! I went for my check up on Friday and the midwife asked me if I had my bag packed. I don’t. She asked me if I had the list of everything I would need to deliver at the birthing center. I don’t. She asked if I had all the things I need for my baby. I don’t! After answering no to many vital questions, she called me a rebel and I decided it was time to hop into action and get things ready. Luckily, my friend gave me one thing I needed for the delivery which is a baby hat. I never put those baby hats on my babies but I know they like to at the hospital and I guess the birthing center does to. She also gave me homemade soap and lotion that is my favorite scent (Lavender!) and they are both fantastic! They are all natural ingredients and easy on sensitive skin. I was thinking I would use the lotion on my tummy when it gets itchy from being hugely stretched! I love natural products but the price always tends to be more which seems unfair but she has great prices and so far, a great product! It was so nice to see her again and meet her husband and baby girl. We had a great lunch and they were our first guests in our home. Well, other than quick visits from various people, it was our first meal with friends in our home and my husband and I were kind of giggling that we never in a million years thought they would be our first guests! It turned out wonderfully and tomorrow I have another social day with my sister in laws. A little girls dinner is the plan and my days of easily (somewhat) going places is winding down so at this point I am pretty much game for everything and anything!!
