How Time Flies!

I can't believe that I'm already 29 weeks along, that means roughly 11 more weeks! That doesn't really seem like very much time at all and I feel like I have so much going on between then and now. I think reality will really set in when the dr's appts. get more frequent.

I'm busy trying to figure out a menu for my cousin's bridal shower. We are going for an elegant type theme and trying to avoid the graduation open house type food but we also don't want to make a lot of work for ourselves. My mom and I are both very busy so we can't afford too much prep work. I think I've decided that we'll do 2-3 different types of sandwiches, cucumber, chicken salad and smoked turkey, we need a couple different salads, I found a recipe for a fruit salad, and then we'll have a vegetable, cheese and olive tray. I'm so wishing this was a brunch now because that seems like it would be so much easier!!!!!

My classes are plugging right along! I have like 2 more weeks of one and then the other gets done mid July. I got a lot done last Friday when I worked all day but I still have the projects and 10 assessment links to find, respond to, and post a discussion about. I'm going to need another whole day I think to work on everything. Luckily this weekend is one of our only free weekends the whole summer so I'll need to spend either Saturday or Sunday on that class. Self paced classes are sometimes much harder for me because I am able to put things off.

R and I are doing better. I think we are better able to deal with conflicts and work things out. His work is just really straining our relationship. I've never been in this type of situation before and then he's never had a job like this before and it's SO difficult trying to cope with the situation. Then adding in money, the new baby, and then just being busy into the mix, it's crazy and very stressful at times. Well I have to get going with our day so we can get tons accomplished :o)

Throwing a shower can be such a stressful event...and EXPENSIVE! Good luck with the menu! I made a fruit salad for Lila's birthday party that was SO easy and so good! You just core and cut up an entire pineapple, cut a bunch of strawberries into quarters, and add seedless grapes. The pineapple and strawberry have enough juice that they make the entire salad very juicy and give it a great flavor. It was delicious and healthy!

Wow, you are one busy lady. So much for those Zen like pregnant mammas on the front of magazines eh? :)

I wish I could treat you to a day at the spa or at least a pedi! Take it easy, or at least take a bubble bath :)
