Yesterday was an amazing day. G and I went on a date--I am ashamed to say, the first date since Phoebe was born! We went to see the movie Big Fish. Big Fish was incredible--its a Tim Burton film, so we figured it would be pretty good, but I didn't know what the story was going to be about at all. No spoilers, but it is about the relationship of a man to his father and G and I were just all choked up by the end. We had been gone a couple hours by the time the movie was done (obviously) and my boobs were all filled up with milk. Our initial plan was go to the movie and then go home for a little baby-free bding :) I didn't want to pump and wanted to check on Phoebe so we stopped by to see her.
When we got there, Phoebe was fast asleep on Jesse--it was such a cute scene. Jesse waved us out of there, "go, go". We had the most amazing, intense loving imaginable. I couldn't believe that we waited this long to have a babysitter. I realized how far good sex goes in making problems seem less weighty. This morning I woke up and thought that next time I feel the world is collapsing around me, I'll just get Greg into bed!
G is doing so great with Phoebe. The other day when I came home, the house was all set up with different "play-stations"--there was the huge mirror and blanket station, the tent-with-the-blacklight-and-spotted-material station, the living-room standard station with the addition of a cooler for her to take things in and out of. He had also gone to the mall and brought home Godiva chocolates for me--well, for us. He actually had tasted almost all of them! Normally he brings me home a couple Godiva truffles, but this time he tried a box of mixed chocolates--hence the tasting, he had to make sure they were good!
A woman is coming over today to try and take my blood for my life insurance paperwork. Last person that came couldn't get any blood! I know I have "hard" veins, but I have never had someone completely unable to get my blood. I am drinking so much water this morning--it helps your veins they told me, so anything I can do to get away with one needle stick and no butterfly (that is when they take blood from your hand veins I guess). ¶ 8:00 AM
