On August 20-22 I went back to school for my last year of school. It was the first time going to classes after having Hannah. I was feeling stressed just going back to school and having to find someone to watch Hannah while I was in class. I had asked my sister Christine to come and she was only too happy to come and spend the weekend with Hannah and myself. Then Dwayne and Judy found out that they were going to be induced and were going to have their baby on the weekend. Since Chris had told Judy she would watch Meredith for her when baby #2 came along Chris was not able to come. I asked my good friend Whitney if she would be able to come and she said yes. The weekend went faster than I thought it would but it was still as stressful as I thought it would be. I spent much of my time in class worrying that Hannah was crying and that Whitney would be stressed out having to care for a screaming child. She did cry but not as much as I worried she might. It was good to come home and see Mike. After we arrived back in Brandon we went to the hospital to meet my new niece Chloe. She was so little (compared to Hannah) and so very cute.
On the Tuesday of that week Hannah and I got back in the car and drove to Austin to visit my parents and sisters. It was good to see them and spend some time just relaxing while other people took care of Hannah for me.
Then Thursday came around and Mike took off to the farm to be a farmer for a couple of days so my mom came out to Brandon to pick me up and take me back to Austin. Chris and Judy came to mom and dads on Thursday evening to hang out. Again it was a great day to have other people to help take care of Hannah. I came back on the Friday and boy oh boy was it nice to be at home. On Sunday we went to a picnic to celebrate our friends 1 year birthday of his bone marrow transplant. Later on that night we went out to our friends Thomas and Shelda's farm for a bon fire. It was so good to hang out with friends.
We spent Monday and Tuesday at home relaxing. Then on Tuesday evening I drove out to MacGregor to my sister Kim's house for a girls night of eating ice cream and watching a movie. We stayed up late. Wednesday morning we got up and got ready for a day of shopping in Winnipeg. Mom, Chris, Kim and myself went to Winnipeg to spend the day shopping and just spending time with each other. Judy decided to stay at home since Chloe was only a week and a half old but I think she will be able to join us on our next venture out to the big city.
We had a great time shopping and got back to Austin late so I stayed at mom and dads for the night before come back to Brandon.
On Thursday Mike and I went shopping for shelves to make my coat closet in my kitchen into a pantry. While I sat on the computer for my evening class Mike put up the shelves in the closet. It looks great and I am so thankful that my husband is so handy.
That about sums it up!! Maybe next time I will blog as things happen and you won't have to read so much about my life at one time.
