March 1, 2009 - Week 20

This week I've gained another pound and a half. My hormones are raging war with my skin, but I'm surviving. We've been putting off making any baby purchases so this week we got something that should make life easier for me in the kitchen...a new stove. It has two ovens and a ceramic top so it should be simpler to keep clean. I took it for a "test drive" and the first thing I made in the oven was sweet-baked rice with peaches and pears followed with our favorite pizza. I may have to start cooking more because I definitely have the appetite for two.

Wednesday, we won a tough volleyball match in our co-ed league. At the last minute, we found out our setter couldn't make it so I had a little more of a workout than expected. The next night, we went to the musical "Legally Blonde". On Friday, we went to a high school basketball game where one of the teams is coached by Paul's friend from Clarinda. They won and now they're only one win away from making the state tournament.

Over the weekend, I started cleaning our future baby room. It was not easy because it has been our storage room. Paul and I had to make quite a few trips to the dumpster. I want to get it ready for painting before I leave for the Czech Republic in April. I am looking forward to buying our first "baby things" with my Mom.

Tento tyden jsem pribrala dalsi kilo. Me hormony bojuji s mym oblicejem a ja se to snazim prezit. Odkladame nakupy pro nase ditko, ale tentokrat jsme koupili neco, co me usnadni praci v kuchyni...a to novou troubu. Je to dvojta trouba s keramickou plochou, takze by se to melo snadneji umyvat. Prvni "testovaci jizdou" byla upecena sladka ryze s broskvemi a hruskami. Hned pote nasledovala nase oblibena pizza. Asi zacinam vice varit, protoze citim, ze opravdu jim za dva.

Ve stredu jsme vyhrali tezky volejbalovy zapas mixu. V posledni minute jsme zjistili, ze nase nahravacka nemohla dojit, tak jsem mela vetsi zaber nez jsem ocekavala. Na druhy den jsme sli na muzikal podle filmu "Legally Blonde" (blondynka pravnicka). V patek jsme se sli podivat na stredoskolsky basketbal, kde jeden z tymu byl trenovan Paulovym kamaradem z Clarindy. Jeho druzstvo vyhralo a nyni je deli jen jedna vyhra od toho, aby se kvalifikovali do celostatniho turnaje, a to je pro kazde kvalifikovane druzstvo velka udalost.

Pres vikend jsem vyklizela nas budouci detsky pokojicek. Neni to jednoduche, protoze to bylo nase byvale "skladiste". Nekolikrat jsme museli vazit cestu do kontejneru. Chtela bych tu mistnost pripravit na liceni predtim nez v dubnu poletim do CR. Tesim se az s mamkou spolecne pujdeme nakoupit prvni detske veci v CR.
