So not long after my last posting, Tony came home since I texted him and told him I by myself.  I'm glad he was sweet enough to consider that I was by myself.

On Mother's Day, Tony was finally able to feel the baby kick from the outside!  Baby gets stronger and stronger each day, I can't wait to see his little face in September. :)

I had a good time in Phoenix, but I really wish that I could have spent more time with my best friend.  At first, I was surprised that her roommate and closest friend from growing up in Omaha didn't seem to be around my the first couple days.  I even said to her, "Wow, I'm surprised I haven't seen her once."  Jinx.  After that, it seemed like any time I saw Becca, there she was.  I never really minded her before, probably because when I saw her, she was visiting here when Becca lived here, and in essence, she was on my turf.  This time though, it was the other way around--it's like, I'm only here for five days, and she's constantly there, talking about what they're going to do last week, what this friend of theirs or that friend of theirs was doing, and staring at me like I was some idiot intruding on their space.

Maybe I should have just said something to Becca, but I didn't want to start drama.  It really made me feel so distant from her, like I didn't fit into her world anymore, and her friend was out to make sure that I knew it.  I think that's why it hurt when she left that night to go out and drink with her.  I felt like I was putting her out by just being in town and being pregnant.  It really hurt.  Coming home this time around was really bittersweet.  She'll always be my best friend, and her family like a second family to me.  I just hate feeling like we're moving in two very opposite directions.  I know that this baby is a huge change, and a positive one for me, I would just really hate for him to be the reason why there is a disconnect with one of the most important people in my life.

When we got home, it was close to 8 our time, so we didn't do much other than catch up on shows we had missed while we were gone and sleep.   We both took the day off today, and got A LOT done.  Besides basic tidying up, we managed to get alot of the baby's room organized and cleaned out, and made space on our bookshelf for his books.  We want to get him a brand new crib, and a little dresser for his clothes.  His bedroom will turn out quite nicely when we're done, I think.

After that we went to the grocery store and got food for the week.  I'm focused on being sure to eat healthy foods from here on out.  After visiting the grocery store, we stopped at Wal-mart to pick up a few non-food items, such as a new pitcher to make juices and tea in, a paper shredder, new sink guards, and some food for Zuma.  As soon as I got everything put away, Tony went to a friends house to hang out, and I started making dinner.

I started with making homemade tortilla chips (yum!).  That took me about half an hour, after which I texted Tony and told him that dinner would be ready in about 20 minutes.  He said he'd be there soon.  I grilled chicken in lime juice, steamed broccoli and topped it with cheese, washed some strawberries, and topped it off with some pink lemonade that I made in my new pitcher.  The dinner was really cute!  I put alot of effort into it and made the table look really nice--strawberries into cute bowls, folded the napkins nice, and even chilled the glasses for the lemonade.

Frustratingly, Tony was late for dinner.  I really hate sometimes when he goes off with friends and seems to lose track of time, especially since I spent so much time and put so much effort into dinner.  I probably shouldn't complain, he's always so supportive and there for me and I don't want to make it sound like he isn't by any means, but we all have things that we wish were a little better, don't we?

I'm just in a melencholy mood tonight.  Hopefully I'll be in a bit of a better mood in my next post.  I'll also try to put up Phoenix pictures.  There isn't alot-- we didn't really take much, especially since I have a complex about "looking like a tourist".  But there are some. :)

Until then--
