May 31, 2009 - Week 33

Monday was the Memorial Day holiday. Paul returned from Clarinda late at night after working on the farm and in the cabin's future bathroom. He went back on Friday for the weekend. He planted more trees and also about a month ago we planted a unique tree I brought back from Czech called "oskoruse", a type of European mountainash.
During the week we went for another prenatal class and I made it once to the gym for a light workout. We also made more baby purchases...this time the car seat and the crib. I feel more and more the pain in my lower back and it is uncomfortable to sleep especially with the multiple trips to the bathroom.
The highlight this week was the weekend wall picture painting in our baby's room. I chose a picture from a children's book by the Czech author Josef Lada. It is what they call a Water Man story. He lives in the pond and comes out at night and sits on a willow tree. My friend Jan and her daughter Kim came to help me paint. Jan is an art teacher and she did an outstanding job. It reminds me of the Czech land and we also have our cats Snooky, Romeo and Rascal in the picture. It is a neat painting and very special for me. I am sure the baby will not care and maybe the first words will not be Momma and Daddy, but kitty and tree. We shall see.

V pondeli byl u nas svatek, neco jako nase Dusicky. Paul se vratil pozde vecer z Clarindy, kde pracoval na koupelne v chate a na farme. Pote znovu odjel do Clarindy v patek na vikend. Zasadil tam dalsi stromy a take jsme asi pred mesicem nasadili vzacny strom "Oskoruse", ktery jsem privezla z Cech, latinsky "Sorbus Domestica".
V prubehu tydne jsme opet meli dalsi predporodni lekci a ja jsem si aspon jednou sla lehce zacvicit. Take jsme nakoupili dalsi detske veci a to auto sedacku a postylku.
Hlavni udalost tydne pro me bylo malovani obrazku na zed v detskem pokojicku. Vybrala jsem si obrazek z ceske detske knizky od Josefa Lady. Je to jeho vodnik. Bydli ve vode a vecer si vyleze na vrbu. Nase znama Jan s jeji dcerou Kim me prisly pomoci. Jan je ucitelka vytvarky na zakladni skole a opravdu se ji to povedlo. Pripomina mi to Cechy a take je skvele to, ze tam zobrazila nase kocicky Snooky, Romeo a Rascal. Vypada to vyborne a pro me to je velice osobni. Nasemu ditku to sice bude uplne jedno a je take mozne, ze prvni slovo nebude mami a tati, ale kocka a strom. Vsak uvidime.
