First, our ERD was approved :)

Now to my purpose of blogging today. Its only been 5 minutes, but im still a little bit Mommish. We have neighbors with a 5 year old little girl. This child has lived next door for the last 9 months, with no children her age to play with. Her Mother introduced their family to us, and was ecstatic that her child would now have a playmate. Nice people, husband is in the FBI- makes me feel safe that they live so close :)
Anyhow, the girls played outside briefly a couple days ago. Today, Mom and daughter rang the doorbell- invited Juliet over to play and have dinner. Whoa. Poor Colin right? No- She brought over a bin of large size lego's that make up a train station, so he is on cloud 9 playing alone.
Me, im a little different.
Juliet has been so bored today, I am glad she is getting to play- but even though they are right next door, Its a new experience for me. Our kids have never really played with neighborhood kids. Its just Juliet and Colin, they play together, the day goes by. Now, She is playing at a friends house. Somethiing new. Its so quiet! I hope I start to feel better about it soon, I just get so nervous about how she will act when I am not around. I know I should be grateful for the rest, being nearly 35 weeks pregnant and all. But with Hubby having left this morning for a month back to Hawaii, Im just missing Juliet a bit- even though it has only been 5 minutes.

I do not have gestational diabetes! And my other blood work came back just fine Bad news is that the doctor that I saw this morning has a very busy schedule, and has not promised to write my ERD letter in a timely fashion. Makes me wonder if I should just make another appointment to see an alternate doctor…grr.
Im very tired. Im 32 weeks pregnant now. The house emptying is going very well. Our bed leaves tomorrow, the couches on Friday (although Id prefer they left tomorrow too), and we need to load boxes of kitchen items to bring to the thrift store still.
I am making a diligent effort to keep my feet elevated more. Many of my aches and pains are treatable, Just by relaxing more than I have allowed myself to. Elevating my feet feels so good! The kids are eating dinner, while I sit on the couch typing and having my feet propped up on pillows. Our washer and dryer are getting looked at tonight for possible purchase. They should leave this weekend. We are paying housing to clean the house, So we have minimal work to do here.
Well, need to go wrap up some dishes.

This weekend was awesome! Saterday my friends threw me a surprise baby shower/going away party! It was such a surprise, I started sobbing when I walked in the door. I’ve never been surprised ever before- so it really caught me off guard. Im going to miss everyone so much!!
Juliet had her appointment at Keiki Kuts yesterday. Im really glad we did it! Im going to miss that place when we leave here. She has so much hair- its right above her shoulders now. Hopefully it will be more manageable now.
Hopefully we’ll have ERD response soon. We have 14 days left in paradise. Not sure i’ll have time to get to the beach yet. I wonder if hubby would be ok with spending the night at the beach this weekend in a cabin? We’ll see.
