95% good weekend

It was really good until I went to the grocery store with Eric, was bagging our groceries, and the cashier went to put a rubberband around the edamame, the rubber band snapped, and hit me smack in the eye... so of course I am crying- not because I was trying to, but when you get hit in the eye tears come out no matter what- they were bombarding me asking for info and offering ice, and I was seriously fine, just needed to blink for a minute and be left alone so I was not embarrassed.

But besides that- it was a good weekend. The 13 week mark has passed. Lester is the size of a shrimp from your shrimp cocktail, or a lemon, and probably other stuff depending on what you read. I still feel fine, my clothes are beginning to feel snugger (if that is a word). I am not showing or anything yet, but there is no sucking in either if you know what I mean. I actually ordered some maternity clothes from Motherhood- I got 8 things (3 pairs of pants, a jacket, and 4 tops) for 200 bucks, which struck me as reasonable. That should last me a while- shirts really are not an issue yet, but if I have 2 pairs of black maternity pants and 2 pairs of maternity jeans I should be good for a while- it is really jeans and a couple work pants that I am struggling with.

As for our weekend- Friday night we went out for sushi (gasp). It was delicious :) Then we came home and I forget what we watched- but it was just a snuggly night for us.
Saturday- I am so proud of this- I went to the gym. I have not been since before my BFP, and really needed to get in there. I am one of those people who goes to the gym regularly, something comes up, I miss a time or two, then I don't go again for another month or so- repeat cycle. I have been meaning to get back in while I can. I am not trying to lose weight persay, but am trying not to gain too much. This is not vanity, but necessity- I am already overweight and my dr. said I should watch my weight gain (as a precaution- not because I am gaining uncontrollably) and try to stay under 20 lbs weight gain (instead of the 30 lbs for a woman starting at her healthy weight). So I did 48 minutes on the elliptical- and I felt great.
We went out to dinner again last night (just to a local cafe/diner type place within a block of the house). It was snowing and really just a beautiful night to walk to dinner and go home and cuddle up. We rented 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall'... it was so, so- but again, it was a snuggly night.
Today we decorated for Christmas and got our tree! The tree is not decorated yet, but pulling out all the decorations and such for around the house is a lot of work! We played Christmas music and had peppermint hot chocolate- I love Christmas because of all these traditions it encompasses.
Then I got hit in the face...
I will say- although I enjoyed this weekend, I am going a little stir crazy and think next weekend we need to plan a night out with some friends... Nothing wild and crazy, but I am sick of movies LOL
Now we are off to MIL's to tell her the news. I know- if you don't know me well you think it is terrible she does not know yet, but I will just say there is a lot of back story, drama, and the like... so we are doing it tonight. Both of us would put it off even longer if possible, but we know she needs to hear from us and it is too risky to have the news out and not tell her .
I am not allowed to videotape this reaction- but I could act it out for you before I even see it. She will be ecstatic- to the point of tears and moaning... which is exciting.

Hope everyone else's weekend was pretty good.
