25 Weeks...

we have reached our 25 week mark in Miss D's development!! Which also means that we are now officially in our sixth month. How quickly the time seems to be flying. Only 15 more weeks until our due date - although I am quickly learning that this whole due date thing doesn't really mean much.

I am feeling good - learning to deal with life's stresses - and take them in stride. It is not healthy for me or our beautiful little blessing to internalize things that bother me - or even letting the "little" things in life get to me. For example - while I was shopping with my grammy today at Kohl's we were waiting in line to return something, and standing far enough back to give the gentleman in front of us a little space...and all of the sudden this woman walks in to the Customer Service center, and walks right past us and puts her things on the counter. My grammy said something to the effect of "Ma'am...we were waiting" to which the lady (I use this term loosely) either didn't hear or chose to ignore - and proceeded to go about her return. Grammy started to get a little annoyed - as I would have normally, and wanted to say something to this less than observant (to say the least) person.

I took a deep breath, and looked at her and said - it's ok - we are not in any hurry and she obviously is - this will just give us more time to talk and we went about our conversation. Now...for those of you that know me - this is totally out of character...in my previous capacity - I would have never stood for this completely oblivious woman's blatant disregard for common courtesy...but what good would that have done me or Delainey? I know - it shocked me too! Totally crazy and way out of character!

Delainey is kicking up a storm and has had quite a big week 25! She has been on a plane, experienced Cleveland, enjoyed Chipotle and spent time with her GG! She is developing baby fat (about time I was able to share some of this "joy") and can now tell which way is up and which way is down. Her hearing is developing and she enjoys country music, the sound of daddy's voice and even a little Muse!

Mommy and Daddy are also doing well - my back is not hurting me as much and I am attempting to make the best of this continued weight gain. Mike is being extremely helpful and supportive...even if some of the stuff he is "supporting" may not be true ;0)

Cheers to another wonderful week in Delainey's World...15 (or so) more!
