A busy day.
Children's Orchard's Fill a Bag sale (one bag and a few other pieces that weren't included in the sale)-the Fill a Bag will be awesome when she's a bit bigger and I don't have quite as many clothes for her. Cayne was wearing the baby in a ring sling in Children's Orchard, so that I could paw through bins and people cooed over the baby, but they cooed just as much over him wearing her instead of me.
Then Target for random stuff like cat litter (and Stephanie Meyer's "New Moon"-finally found it in paperback and it was on sale, too.) Then we stopped at Home Depot...did I even mention that I lost my keys last weekend? So we had to get keys cut.
Then a stop at Babies R Us for a couple of little things...a bottle drying rack that takes up less space than what we're using on the counter, and that sort of thing. In BRU we discovered that we'd forgotten a wet bag for the diapers, and Hari Elephant, which we needed for another errand later.
Headed home for a moment after BRU...picked up the elephant, the wet bag and a coupon for Bed, Bath and Beyond, and took out something for dinner to defrost. Then we went to lunch. Discovered at lunch that Friendly's has a changing table only in the women's restroom, which seems sort of strange and silly at a family-friendly place like that.
Ran to Bed, Bath and Beyond for another set of tongs, and a handful of other things. I ended up walking out with more than I'd planned, but we found some really neat hexagonal shelves that will look cool in our living room with the round shelves we have already, and so we got that, and a new oven thermometer, and some stuff for my Keurig coffee pot.
After that, we headed down to the photographer to pick up the prints from Naomi's last portrait sitting, and to get some new pictures of her done for Father's Day. She's a cutie. And she was well behave and incredibly patient for the photographer again. There are some good ones in there.
Somewhere during the afternoon I started to complain that my breasts hurt. They had the kind of burning/stinging feeling in the nipples that means I need to empty them. Still don't have nearly enough milk but I do get uncomfortably full every once in a while. Pumped for a while when we got home and I felt much better.
We stopped for gas on the way home. I marvel at the fact that we paid $3.79 for gas and thought that was cheap.
Tomorrow is housecleaning and grocery shopping. Our anniversary is Thursday and we haven't really made any plans or bought gifts or anything. We may just go out to dinner with the baby, and sneak off for an hour for pie or something when my Mom and Dad are here. I'm going to suggest that we put money we'd have spent on anniversary gifts towards something like moving the sink when we renovate the kitchen...it's one of those "want" projects not a "need" project, but it shouldn't be too expensive (it's moving it a few feet to the left of where it is right now and figuring out how to make better use of the corner.)
I've been feeling a bit blue for days. Many days. Not PPD kind of blue, I don't think, but just glum. Glum in the way that sort of follows along with the yucky thyroid. I'm hoping it goes away soon, but I'm not too hopeful. It'll go away eventually, I guess. I kind of feel like I ought to be up north this weekend; my great aunt died, and the funeral is Sunday and I'm not there. Mom said not to come up, but I still feel weird about it. Auntie Florence is really the end of a generation. But Mom is also right. Going up with the baby would have been nuts, and Mom and Dad will be here to meet the baby in a week.
Had a nice dinner, watched The Simpson's Movie, and now we're hanging out, watching the last few minutes of Finding Nemo and messing around on our computers. Just kind of quiet, nice, night. Going to pump soon and get some sleep. Maybe sleep "late" tomorrow (which really means going back to sleep for a little while after Naomi's breakfast.) I'm just lucky to have a great family.
