Domestication Weekend

Jay and I had a great weekend with Robin and Ben. Robin is a friend from high school. She, 22 weeks pregnant, and her husband are moving to Iowa in a week so I don’t know the next time I’ll see her. Plus, iIt’s awesome that Jay and Ben get along so well, made me feel so much more relaxed.

We’ve never had guests at our house, other than my parents, so I was nervous. I barely cook dinner, I’ve never cooked breakfast before, I don’t clean very well (tomorrow’s post), etc. BUT I was able to clean a little bit before they came. But Saturday morning, I woke up at 7:30 and started cooking breakfast: pancakes from scratch, scrambled eggs, and microwaveable bacon (I don’t like to fry), and coffee. Then we went shopping and bought baby gifts. On Sunday morning, I woke up at 7 to bake blueberry muffins in my new maternity nightgown which Jay says I should be standing out in our front yard with a baby on my hip. But in my defense, my pajama pants don’t fit anymore! And it came with a robe I can wear in the hospital! Oh, I helped with the 3 year old bible class and after lunch went to a baby shower. Of course, I had to spend most of my evening cleaning the kitchen from all of the cooking. But it was worth it because it was tasty and gave me confidence. I'm one tiny step closer to being as good as my mom!

And now I’m blogging while watching How I Met Your Mother reruns because I can’t find the remote to watch Sleepless in Seattle that I ordered on Netflix.

Now I’m going to write tomorrow’s post.
