Looks like yet another quiet night in. My husband got a work call, and my son is out for the night, so its just me and the slight hum of my laptop. I have no real significant theme to today's blog, I'm just kinda typing to see where my brain takes me. Today was slightly chaotic as my son ended up with a fever that peaked at 103.5 degrees. The slightly more seasoned moms I spoke with told me that, while high, that temperature was no cause for panic, however this was my first experience with a fever that high so I'll admit there was minor panic on my part. One tepid bath and a dose of infant pain reliever/ fever reducer later, he was back to his normal 98.6 self. Then I finally sat down and enjoyed some girl time with my friend whom I will refer to as M. It was much needed and enjoyed. M and I tormented my poor husband (who was a great sport) by discussing our "battle stories" of childbirth. He held in there until we started discussing episiotomies in detail (heehee). Ended the night by cooking dinner for my fam (steak and potatoes made my boys very happy) and renting the movie RED on On Demand.
As of right now I have to say things are good. I'm *finally* getting my house back in order (the third trimester of this pregnancy has been murder on my stamina), finishing up the last few things needed to be done before my daughter arrives, catching up with old and new friends, and enjoying time with my family. Things that were bothering me for a while before I'm trying to just let go of. I can't make poeple into something they aren't and I can't keep fighting for things that just aren't there and never will be. Who knows what a hormonal spike will do to my mindframe tomorrow morning (or hell, within the next half hour) but as of this moment, I feel peace.
