Yesterday Was a Good Day Until…

Posted on July 17, 2009 in Stories & Random Thoughts by little mochi

Yesterday was a good day.  I woke up somewhat refreshed, which is very rare because a good night’s sleep is hard to come by when you are 6 weeks away from your due date.  I must have had quality sleep since I know I had slept for only 5 hours.  I laid my head down on my pillow at nearly 11:30 pm and snoozed until 3 am for a potty break.  Then woke up again to my mom’s alarm at 4:30 am.  Took another potty break then.  Little Mochi had a nightmare around 5 am and cried out in his sleep so that woke me up.  But somehow, I still felt refreshed.  I shouldn’t care how many hours of sleep I got as long as I am feeling good, right?

The good feeling could be due to the long flowy summer turquois dress and new brown strappy sandals that I wore yesterday.  Now mind you, I rarely wear dresses much less wear them to work!  A nice summer dress tends to make me feel happy naturally.  And feminine.  Yup, I felt really feminine yesterday.  Or it could be the nice compliments I received from everyone all day on how great the dress looked on me.  I do have to admit, however, that the dress was cute and that I was definitely comfortable in it. 

Or…I felt great yesterday because I was anticipating a baby shower at work that my girls at work organized for me.  I feel so lucky.  When I was pregnant with Little Mochi two years ago, my colleagues (from a different department – I have switched to a different department since) at work then also threw me a BIG shower.  I don’t think I’ll ever forget that one.  There was probably 30 people that showed up!  And everyone that showed up brought me a gift, even those that I rarely knew.  They had a hilarious skit.  I left work that day with a car full of presents.  Literally – a car full of presents.  I felt so special and so loved. 

But this one was small and intimate.  It was nice.  Although I told Keila, the organizer, to tell everyone not to bring me a gift because in all honesty, I already have what I needed.  Between all of Little Mochi’s pass me down gears and newborn clothes, all the cutesy dresses from the shower my sister threw me a month ago, I’m all set!  But the people here are so nice.  They all got me something anyway.  Mostly more clothes, but they were all very cute. 

Actually, the only thing I wanted was Keila’s condensed milk strawberry cake.  But the girls went all out and planned a big luncheon.  They catered food from the little family owned Mexican restaurant across the street.  Lillian woke up early to cut fresh watermelon and pineapples (and boy were they sweet!).  She said she didn’t want to cut them the night before because they wouldn’t be as fresh.  There was a vase full of fresh cut flowers.  And a box of Costco wipes.  Hahahaha…crazy Carolina was wondering why Lillian had to buy the baby wipes.  She thought we were using them lieu of napkins.  That’s coming from someone who has never had a baby. 

I was sooo touched. 

It was a good day, yesterday.  Until I spoke to my husband.  Everything seemed to have gone downhill from there.
