3 day weekend

The absolute best thing about working in the banking industry is that they give you just about every holiday imaginable off. Which equals out to a lot of 3 day weekends, and since yesterday was President's Day I got to enjoy yet another one. On Saturday I went out to dinner with the CG, and we had a great time at the restaurant, even though we had to wait an hour (it was the Wine Walk in Cannon Beach). A very nice Valentine's Day. After church on Sunday I drove out to visit my best friend, and we had a lot of fun together. First we went to Outback (it is our tradition) and then wandered around Gresham browsing shops. I even bought a new book (Inkheart). So far it's pretty good. I stayed overnight at my parent's place and on Monday went to Babies R Us with my mom. The first thing I noticed was that quite a bit of what I registered for is not actually IN the store. A bit frustrating, I wish BRU would mention that online...but I went online later in the evening and changed a few things to items that were in the store. I also carried around the Graco Safeseat and the Chicco Keyfit for a bit. I like the Chicco more, but I still can't justify spending that much on it. Ah well. While we were there, my mom came across a beautiful bassinet and she bought it for me. I couldn't be happier, I love it! It is much better than the co-sleeper I was registered for, and for the same price. I also bought my glider while I was there, after spending 20 minutes just rocking in it. It was so comfortable, I can't wait to put the one I bought together so I can rock in it at home.

The only negative thing from the weekend is that my baby has moved even lower, something I would have swore was impossible. Walking is becoming so painful, it feels like my pelvis is going to break. I know I'm a wimp when it comes to pain...but is this normal?? Work today was very hard, and I keep wondering how I am going to make it 8 1/2 more weeks.
