Day 55.... weird, but good.

Mar 15

The Ides of March...

It was nice to rest most of the day today. I stayed up late finishing the book I was reading and that made it difficult to get up, but Martyn decided he was done sleeping in. What could I do?
We got up and got some breakfast, and just kind of hung out all day at home. It was good. Stacey texted me to let me know she found out she's having another boy, which is super cool...well, a girl would have been super cool too. I'm excited for her. She's coming down here Sunday night, and Damon and Tucker too...it will be good to see them, and for her to see Martyn, and mom and Jack too.

On a bit of a whim, Mom and I did take off to go to David's Bridal so I could get fitted for, and order my dress for my best friend Nicole's wedding in June. Mom totally took care of Martyn the whole time and it took a bit longer than I expected it too, but I got it done. It feels good to have accomplished that. I was kind of dreading doing it at home, because I didn't know who would watch Martyn, or if I would leave him home with Eli....or what. Actually it worked out well that I did that down here, because I got a discount on the dress since Nicole's whole bridal party is getting their dresses from there....that was a score! That poor girl that helped me was a little frazzled. I just stayed calm and patient, I know it takes time to do those things some times. She said a couple times, "thank you for being so patient"...Which kind of made me chuckle inside, and feel a little sorry for her...I mean, how are people normally?
I've found that in situations like that, it's always best to be patient and stay calm...getting agitated never helps, it only hurts.

Last night I went to have dinner with Amy, my old house mate from mom's house on Jeff street...the good Amy, ha! It was cool to have dinner with her and David her husband, and their daughter Julia who is full of her self, and very bright. Julia was very interested in and curious about Martyn and all the little things that go along with him, like breast feeding for one. That was cool. I didn't mind at all that she really wanted to watch me feed him, and she had a ton of questions, just like 7 year old kids often do about everything.
It was cool to see Amy and David as parents. I'm finding that more and more as I go around and visit old friends and family who didn't have kids the last time I saw them, or they now have more kids. Lot's of changes for everyone. I know I said that before, but it's true...and it's great!

I wonder how different things will be the next few years as more of my friends and family start to grow their families, or are just getting started. I'm looking forward to it, while enjoying my time right now. Life is good!
