  It's been a pretty quiet week this week. My cold still isn't gone, so I've been feeling lazy. The weather was really hot for most of the week too, which only increased my laziness. It got so hot that Johannes dragged the extra bed up from the basement, so we have 2 single beds to sleep on, so that we don't have to sleep in our extremely hot loft. The only problem is the beds are right next to the window, and as soon as it gets light, I wake up and can't get back to sleep. I don't really like waking up before 5. The curtains don't seem to help much.It cooled down on Friday though, so it is possible to sleep in the left until it heats up again. I think it's supposed to be hot tomorrow. The kids at work will like that, because we turn the water pump on for them when it's really hot, and they play with water and sand and make a huge mess.
They really enjoy it. I only have three days of work left. Wednesday is my last day. I'm looking forward to sleeping longer in the morning and having time to organize stuff around the house and to actually have time to cook interesting things. Let's see...what else did I do this week? Wednesday was childbirth prep. We practised sitting on the birthing balls and breathing. I didn't enjoy that much because she kept saying to breathe through my nose, which wasn't possible and I was supposed to sit so far forward on the ball that I could barely keep my balance.
We saw some pictures too, and they were black and white, and illustrations and not photos, so Johannes couldn't find anything to complain about. They all had english captions, which was helpful so I had some idea of what the teacher was talking about. There are still a lot of medical words I don't know and Johannes doesn't know how to translate them all. We also did a couple of relaxation exercises, but I kept relaxing too much and falling asleep. I don't think that will work during labour, so I should learn how to relax and stay awake at the same time.
Thursday was Corpus Christi, which is a holiday here, so I didn't have to work. It was a very hot day, and we had mass outside, and that was follwed by a procession around Marienborn with lots of singing. I skipped the procession though, because it was very hot and my legs were hurting. Poor Johannes had to wear an altar server robe and carry a heavy speaker.
He invited all the altar servers to his parents' house in the afternoon for a swim, since they were away for a day, but it started pouring 10 minutes before everyone was supposed to come, so no one came. There was thunder and lightening, and it was a really cool storm.Johannes and I went swimming by ourselves, and it was fun to listen to the rain pounding on the roof while swimming. The lightening made Johannes a little nervous though. On Saturday, I finished up the baby shopping.
My bus pass expires on Thursday, and I won't be getting another one. Since it takes me forever to decide on baby stuff, I decided I should finish it before my bus pass runs out. The only thing left to buy now is cloth diapers, and Johannes and I are planning to get those on Thursday. I haven't done anything interesting today, only a lot of eating and being lazy. Anyway, time for bed now because I have to work early tomorrow.
