5:45 am. Preston arises with a smile and babble. Go to sleep kid. Nope. Up and at'em mom and dad! grrrrrrr why God why?! We arose, very sleep deprived and aching from head to toe. Somehow we managed to roll ourselves out of our comfy bed. First thought? Starbucks. Strong coffee. Good thing they open hella early! We were there gulping down some caffeine and danishes. Amazing what caffeine can do - it gave us the impression that we could actually make it a few hours without our eyes burning from exhaustion! With that, we headed to the best grocery store ever - Trader Joe's. They sell organic food that kicks ass. We LOVE their chocolates and wine. If you ever get a chance to go there, do it! Anyway, we got there before the store even opened (thanks Preston) and so we walked around the block a time or two. Good morning workout! After getting our goodies, we headed back home. By 11 am, Preston was done dealing and family nap was under way. awwwww I LOVE sleep.
2 hours later, Preston arises and we head off to the Madison zoo- granted not the best of best zoo's but for being free- hey it was great. I was disappointed that the giraffe exhibit was under construction (along with a bunch others.) But like I said, I can't get too picky when it's free! Remind me to go NOT on a weekend. Holy crap - talk about a mad mass of people cramming themselves through the place! Being pregnant, I just don't like strangers rubbing any body part on me nor bumping into me. So yeah - next visit will be on a Wednesday or Thursday for sure.
The better part of the day Josh's parents, brother, Josh, Preston and I enjoyed a delicious picnic lunch in the park next to the zoo. Half way through the lunch, the wind picked up a slight tad and a familiar smell arose....is that...nah...oh there it is again! Yup - definitely smelling the weed. A group of Hispanic men were hanging around their broken down car several yards up and smoking something - well the smell completely gave it away. And they proceeded to smoke for a good part of an hour. Meanwhile they kept revving up their engine, trying to figure out why the car wouldn't go in reverse. There were about 6 or so guys that just stood there dumb founded (hmmm I wonder why!) It was like 'how many stoned people does it take to just look at a broken down car and scratch themselves?!' Just call a tow truck already people! geez! Well we got a good laugh outta the whole mess! Isn't it great having free entertainment?
Well I am aching everywhere- particularly in my hips, butt, feet - so off to take a hot shower I go.
oh - I was leaning over Josh tonight and he actually felt our baby's heart beating!!! Isn't that cool?!
