Time
Well so far, I've managed to do not much today. Kyle's at work with the car, so it's not like I can really go anywhere, not that I really have anywhere to go either.
Yesterday we went to the Qualicum Branch to visit Ann. She really wanted us to come up before the baby was born, for some reason. I was sort of dreading it, because it can be somewhat dull, and there are tons of old people who I dont know- thats just not fun for me, especially to be alone in Relief Society. However, it was ward conference yesterday, so there were many familiar faces, and I got to hear the stake presidency speak. Relief Society was my favourite though. Sister Salway spoke- whom I always find is a good speaker, and Stephanie Williams, President Van Horne and a brief something something from Sister Dykes- whom I've never heard say anything before yesterday. It was really uplifting and spiritual. I realized that going to Relief Society may be a good thing for me, despite my love for primary. Sister Salway was talking to me inbetween classes, and she put both hands on my cheeks and said "Your face is getting round! It's cute!" and gave a few soft pats and went on her way. Its true, it is round, and I dont find it cute at all. My feet have been so so swollen the last few days. Worse than they ever have been. Nothing seems to help, I put them up, I've iced them (although not as religiously as the twins did because Kyle doesnt help me, and I have to struggle to get the ice on and off) It also seems as though you could find me the longest, largest t-shirt and it STILL wouldnt fit over my belly! Its just bound to hang out. I have five days until my due date. I wonder if it will come this week or not. Strange to think that this time next week, I could have a baby.
It's been fun going through all my memory stuff that Mom gave me. I found a journal, and in the front she copied entries from her own journal, about my when I was borne and what I was like as a baby and a toddler. I was so happy to find it because I thought in my stupidity I had thrown it away when I was a teenager. I also found stories that I wrote- I might write one down on here later- and letters from Laura and Katie. I forgot I was such a mouthy confident adolescent! I found a report card from highschool and it had a note on the back from my math teacher who was very annoyed at how much I socialize in class. Memory Lane=good times. Like Laura said, there's so many things you forget about. I was thinking about that too- how there are so many moments in our lives lost and forgotten. I mean, I dont remember writing those things to Laura at ALL, I hardly even remember being like that, and it wasnt that long ago-1o years.
Ashfish is back, and she's going to come up to Nanaimo to visit me. Yay! She was in Russia for the last 6 months teaching English, and i havent seen her since the summer before that so it's been too long.
