Today I slept in until 9:30. 9:30!!! I haven't slept in that long since Isaac was born. I was expecting to sleep until 7:30 or 8, since that's usually when I wake up if I happen to wake up first.
We started the day by having a relaxing breakfast. Then we did our one chore of the day and went to the grocery store. Entermann's donuts we're buy one get one free!
We came back, had a leisurely lunch while playing a game, and hopped in the pool.
We went out for dinner and they sat us down and forgot about us. We laughed about it quite a bit because this is the third time we've gone out and the third time we've had drink problems. But once they remembered us we had a very nice dinner and then we had some good ice cream.

Wednesday: escape
Today Ben and I escaped down to Florida. Without Isaac. I'm not sure Isaac understands what is going on, but I also have no doubt that he'll have a great time with the grandparents. We escaped!
Flights went fine. It was really nice not traveling with a toddler, because then we could both be kind of blah as needed. Our luggage did get soaked somehow...my underwear was very wet and our game instructions will never be the same. But most of the water sensitive stuff was either in bags or didn't get wet. (PSA: delta doesn't do anything for water damage, no matter what.)
Zach and Jenny picked us up and we made it to the place we're staying. We went to dinner and didn't realize that pizzas were half off...our bills were so surprisingly cheap! So we got ice cream too. :)

Tuesday: OB appt, things I never expected to say
I had another OB appointment today. The heart rate was good at 140 and I'm still measuring about a week ahead at 33 weeks. Isaac loved listening to the baby's heartbeat, although he calls it a heart beep. I also gave him the option of sitting in the stroller or the big chair and he chose the big chair. We talked about how he had to stay sitting in the big chair and couldn't go touching everything and he did a very nice job staying in the chair.
And changing the subject, here is another thing I never expected to say:
"I don't drink things made from people."
Isaac has been "scraping" pieces off our knees and making them into cocktails which he then expects Ben and I to drink. However, these are a bit better than the food he made a few days ago that involved taking pieces of Ben or me, making them into a food, measuring the heartbeat, and then expecting us to eat them. I don't eat things with a heartbeat either.

Monday: hi
Hi.
Nothing all that noteworthy happened today. Isaac and I went to the pool. It was ok...a little cool and he kept wanting to sit on the chairs instead of play in the warm water. We had a nice dinner with family.
Oh, I guess the biggest news is that Isaac has slowly been figuring out when he needs to pee and actually makes it to the toilet first. We've been accident-free five of the last seven days. I know there's still room for improvement, but even on the days he's had an accident it isn't as big of a deal. And he's been waking up dry from most of his naps.

Sunday: today
Today...yeah, I survived today.
I threw up last night...the first time in quite some time. It came out of no where! I didn't feel very good the rest of the night. At one point I really needed to go to the bathroom but when I started to sit up I started to feel sick so decided to try and go back to sleep instead. This morning was a bit better, but I think I was tired. I ended up taking two naps. At the end of the first I was doing better, but the second one was still nice.
We (mostly Ben but I helped a bit) managed to fix one of the sprinklers. It was harder than it should have been, but I think we (as in Ben) learned a lot so the next ones should be better.
Isaac thankfully did well all day. It's sometimes hard to remember that just because I'm not feeling good doesn't mean that it affects him all that much...especially on weekends when Ben is around too.
Here is a picture from the pool from a while ago...I got it after the blog post but think it's super cute.

Saturday: conversations
Isaac: is mom going to have another baby?
Amanda: no, this is my last baby.
Isaac: the next baby dad will do?
Amanda: yeah, dad can have the next baby.
***************************************************
Isaac: Is mom putting on sunscreen?
Amanda: Yes.
Isaac: me too?
Amanda: Yes, but later. You have a spray sunscreen and we need to do it outside. I have a cream.
Isaac: Cream cheese?
Amanda: No, silly. You don't want to eat sunscreen.
Amanda: no, this is my last baby.
Isaac: the next baby dad will do?
Amanda: yeah, dad can have the next baby.

Friday: sand
This morning we went to play on the neighbor's beach. I was expecting it to last about thirty minutes. Two hours later it was time for lunch. I suggested a boat ride as a transition, and during our short trip he fell asleep. He wanted to go back to the beach for the rest of the day.
Luckily, we were going to the beach for a birthday party tonight. He got to enjoy more sand. :)
