It's been a very busy week in the Widener household. Eric and I refinished one of our bedroom dressers, we both had to do some shopping, and we had to get everything ready for our weekend in Orlando. Our dresser looks awesome! We sanded it down, painted it white, and changed the hardware on it. We will finish the other dresser next week and then Eric just has to build and stain new end tables for our bedroom makeover to be completed. Then I can focus on the nursery!
I had to do some shopping for maternity clothes this week. I needed dresses for Brynn's rehearsal dinner and reception and something for our day in the heat at Magic Kingdom. There is nothing more depressing than shopping while pregnant. I already feel like a whale, I don't need the pressure of trying on dresses and shorts to make those feelings worse. I finally gave up and got something so I don't show up in yoga pants and a t-shirt. I'm just in this awkward phase where people are looking at me like "is she pregnant or just sue or fat?" If I were thinner when this started it wouldn't be a question because of my basketball belly, but I wasn't. So here I am.
Mothers Day was wonderful. Eric got up with Charlee and took her to run errands so I could sleep in. It was the first time since my birthday, so it was amazing. They brought me lunch, a nice card, and Charlee brought me some flowers. My gift is our trip to Disney this weekend, so that was more than enough! We spent the day hanging out, working on the dresser, playing, and napping. Eric made a steak dinner and we had strawberry shortcake for dessert. It was exactly what I wanted this year. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family. I can't wait for the jelly bean to be here and experience it.
I spent the rest of the week running errands, cleaning, doing laundry, pacing. And finishing the dresser. And today we are on the road. I can't wait to see my friends and to watch Brynn walk down the aisle! And to see Charlee experience the magic of the Magic Kingdom for the first time. It's going to be an amazing weekend!
