Waddling, phone calls and clothes shopping

My beloved niece Sarah called today.  She figured out how to dial her mother's android cell phone.  She took it out of her mom's purse and after sounding out a few things, she found my cell phone number and hit dial.  Her mother's ring tone went off and I said hello.  A very chipper "Hi Aunt Kate it's Sarah."  So I responded "Hi Honey, whats up."  So she told me she was worried about me and wanted to make sure I was ok as I always call her to make sure she is ok.  (try not to choak up when responding) I assured her I was ok and that the baby was too.  Sometimes the baby likes to rearrange my innards, which garnard an "oh aunt kate" followed by giggles.  I asked her how was school "fine," what kind of glasses did she get (she's nearsided) "really cool iCarly glasses."  I asked her if she had any other questions and she did so I answered them the best I could.  I heard her mother (my sister) come down the stairs and ask "Sarah who is on the phone?" "Aunt kate" "did she call or did you call her?" (I guess she was nagging her mommy to call me <G>) "I called her."  You could hear a pin drop after her mother heard that one. LOL.  My sister told her "I don't want you using my phone without my permission ok." "yes mommy, I'm sorry, I was worried about Aunt Kate." So she put her mother on who asked who called who and I reiterated that Sarah called me and not to get angry, she was really worried and it is ok.  So Sarah and I started to talk again and I told her we can talk longer on Monday and she was excited about that and said "I will hug you gently Aunt Kate."  That is one way to wake up to have a smile on your heart all day.

Well walking is starting to be an issue.  I can do it but my lower back starts to ache.  I just have to remember to keep me hydrated.  I walk slower than usual but I can keep up as long as I can sit for a minute or two.  I have to remember that I just got over pneumonia so the wind still gets knocked out of me quickly.

So we went to Kmart, Babys R Us, Conway, and BJs.  Kmart scored us a one shouldered dress for a $1.99 on clearance.  Granted it is a 3x but at the moment I'm a 2x up from an XL.  Just wandered around Babys R Us looking at the baby stuff.  Conway scored us a 2x shirt, very pretty and light weight.  BJs just got us garbage bags and body wash for Larry.

One day at a time.  Found sleeping in a sports bra under my pjs is helpful to keeping the breast pain at bay.  Larry is hovering which I am getting used to.  As he said this morning, the 27th can't come fast enough. LOL.
