A Necessary Evil

Saturday May 8th; We are 35 Weeks & 4 Days Pregnant ~ Only 31 Days to Go!

A Baking Day:
I meant today to be a Baking day;
I started working on baking some bread, that was about 1/2 my day.
I wanted to make some of those sugar cookies for Mom too.
Unfortunately I was interrupted by shopping. A necessary evil (yes I say evil; I hate shopping).

Shopping:
Mom & I went to the dollar store and Wholesale Liquidators and then Walmart to pick up some things for the shower.
We got a bunch of things we needed.
By the time we got home I was in so much pain I can barely move;
My ankles are swollen up from too much walking/standing.
Add to that horrible back pain
& I started getting BH contractions o_o'' they kept coming regularly until I sat down and rest then the decided to completely disappear.

Hence I never finished my baking because I just can't stand up to work on it. So my dough is chilling in the fridge & hopefully I will get to it in the morning!

The Plan:
Tomorow's plan is to finish baking bread while dad works on making Pasta Salad & Tossed Salad :)
Then I have to bake a cake, make frosting, frost & decorate the aforementioned cake for Mom & Grandma for Mother's day.
Then we are having a Mother's Day BBQ :) (just us 4 plus my 2 Grandparents). Chicken, Burgers, Hotdogs, Pasta Salad, Tossed Salad, Coleslaw, + my cake :D

In Other News:
I made in roads into packing my hospital bag. I borrowed a bag from my sister, got some items in it now although there's still a BUNCH of things missing I figure I'll add them in as I get my hands on them :)
Also it looks like Joshua has dropped down yet further; my back aches have shifted about 2 inches south from where they were hitting.
I had a couple of people commenting to me out shopping today. One lady asked when I was due and insisted "that little one is WAYYYY down there, you'll be seeing him/her long before then!"
& a really cute little old lady just walked up to me and said "boy yes?" when I nodded confirmation she gave me a huge toothless grin and said "see.. I know things.. happy mothers day".

:-D
