No more Volleyball!

Last night was my volleyball playoffs and my last set of matches until after the baby! You'd think I'd miss it but with as sore as I am today...maybe not! We finished the season in 3rd and playoffs consist of 2nd-4th battling it out to go against the 1st place team in the championships. First round we played the 4th place team (some really good friends of mine) and beat them in 2 games (we play best 2 out of 3). Then we went on to play the 2nd place team and upset them with a comeback beating them in the first game and then humiliating them in the second game. On to the championship round, 2 hours in and game #5 with only 5-10 minute breaks in between sets.

We have always gotten killed by this team but we actually made them go into extra points to win by two the first game. On to game #6 (game #2 for them) we were all tired but trying to fake optimism but it wasn't working to well! We lost 11-15 and are the proud new owners of bright red 2009 H.A.R.D Volleyball Sports League short sleeved t-shirt. My thought, I didn't really want a long sleeve shirt (in July) with Champion written on it anyway. All I wanted was the big ice pack for my back and the two little ones for my knees. I told Steve to take a picture of me looking pathetic but he graciously declined! I Love Him!

So other than 1 more softball game (that I am trying to bail on because its the night before my anniversary) I am basically done with sports until after the baby! I will miss you my loves but now I get to be team mom!!!!

On better notes, my mommy is going with Steve and I to my 15 weeks appointment this afternoon. She is playing hookie from work so I invited her along so she can hear her grand babies heart beat! I think she's pretty excited and so am I, I can't wait to check on our little baked potato (btw that's what I call the baby now, thanks to my potato cravings).

Steve also talked to our next door neighbor yesterday about daycare. She is an older lady who is really sweet and in the years we have lived next to her, she has fostered numerous little ones that are often the result of drug addicted mothers. She has had the same little girl now for about a year and a half and before her she had another little girl for almost two years. I'll never forget the day she brought her around to say goodbye to all the neighbors because she had to give her back to the crack head mom because she made a deal get her kids while she was still in rehab! Anyhow, Linda is a great lady whom I would completely trust to take care of my child and the benefit is she is right next door AND she told Steve she would be more than willing to provide daycare for us (we will be paying her) and we would just figure out all the logistics to protect both her, us and the baby! So I am very excited!!!

Other than that, I'm hoping to have a nice relaxing weekend ahead of me! I'll update later with info on my appointment and you have a great weekend yourself!
