Things have been going fairly well and progressing normally. I am tired and somewhat uncomfortable, but I am excited and healthy so I really can't complain. On Friday I went out with my girlfriends Sharon, Nicole, and Kristi. We get together every couple months to catch up and be girly. Well this time, after we ate, we went back to Nicole's beautiful new home and the girls surprised me with lots of wonderful baby gifts! I was so touched by their thoughtfulness and generosity. I now have lots of gender-neutral, cute and useful baby stuff! It made me really think about how appreciative I am of my good friends. I used to not get along with other women very well, having been burned by catty behavior, gossip, and backstabbing. I am slow to trust other women, so it's been especially amazing over the past several years to make some good female friends! I am so thankful that I have been blessed to meet good women, and that they are willing to spend time with me. ;) I still feel a little like an outsider in most groups. I am not appropriate, and am a tomboy, and don't know how to dress nicely or do hair or makeup. But having women friends has helped me feel more feminine than I used to. Being pregnant definitely helps with that too!
Thank you to all my girlfriends- not just Sharon, Nicole, and Kristi, but also Chrissy, Erin, Anya, Nancy, Mary Catherine, Anne, Kim, Jiun-Fei, my sisters, sisters-in-law, mothers-in-law, aunts.... there are so many good women I can't even name them all! Sorry for leaving some people out. Thanks for letting me be one of the girls. :)
In totally unrelated news, I can't wait to go see the new Star Trek movie. I am super excited but don't know when I'll ever make it to the theater. I have had a lot of things going on, between errands (baby and non-baby related), trips (ELUNA in Athens, SLA meeting in Nashville, upcoming trip to see family in Alabama), and tiredness, I'm not sure when I will get to see Benedict Cumberbatch in a Star Trek movie! I hear good things about it, so I guess I'll just sit tight until hubby and I can sneak a movie in. :)
