My mom came to visit this weekend. This is the first time I've seen her since we found out that I'm pregnant. We've started a tradition of window shopping in Senoia on my birthday a few years ago. We thought about going to several other events this year (one of which was in Atlanta), but we decided that staying close to home was best for us...mainly for one reason...I've become WIMPY! I have a new TREMENDOUS respect for pregnancy and women who have experienced it...and if you're one of those women, I'm sorry if I didn't understand. :)
I'm the girl who last Spring planted not a few shrubs and trees in our yard, cut the grass, shoveled compost and transported it to fertilize plants. I walked miles. Ran miles. Stayed up late. Senoia's downtown mainstreet is maybe 1/4 a mile long. Yesterday, I sat down to rest four times from one end of the street to the other. I'm not kidding. We even went to the car one time to sit for a while. I have been feeling sick, but I mainly think it's because I have pretty strong allergies and cannot take my usual medicine for it. I'm even wondering if the nausea I've had is due partially to allergies.
If you have any suggestions for safely treating allergies, I'd love some ideas.
Our visit with my mom was wonderful though. I love spending time with my family. She was understanding and comforting. We just sat on a bench or a rocking chair and talked between stores. We looked at some baby clothes and kid stuff and really just daydreamed about the future.
She and my Dad have a tiny 2.(something) pounds Yorkie puppy. She is adorable, and we also enjoyed watching our dogs play. She treated Nathan and me to lunch yesterday. We had the best fried green tomatoes we've ever eaten at "Redneck Cafe." This morning we had to drive into Peachtree City to pick up Pebbles (their Yorkie puppy...she had surgery yesterday) so we ate breakfast at a new Cajun bakery in Fayetteville...we love their food!!!
The only part about visiting with family that is hard is that we always hate to see them go. So of course, I talked to my mom a little on the phone while she was driving. :)
how many weeks are you? First trimester is the WORST!! If you feel wimpy, remind yourself that you are working super, super hard growing a human being;) I hate that our get together didn't work out. I would love to meet one Saturday for lunch. Let me know what dates work for you--seriously. message me on facebook.
