Since baby girl hasn’t made her official arrival yet, she joined Hailey and I on our date tonight. We left all our boys at their respective homes and went out for some solid girl time. I haven’t felt many contractions since Thursday so I was feeling somewhat healthy, and put together. I got dressed in clothes that fit, and put on makeup. It was a good day to go out!
We started at the mall to hit up Bath & Body Works. Hailey hadn’t been to the new location here yet so we hit that up for a few things. Their candles were buy one get one free so I purchased two of the massive 3-wick ones. Also, I had a coupon that gave me a free item if I spent more than $10, which I obviously did, so I got a bottle of the triple moisturizing lotion. That stuff is solid, and we use it on my legs every night since my skin has been sooo dry since getting pregnant. The scent is called “Beautiful Day.” I bought it mostly because it was pretty and made me feel positive, but the smell is light and fruity and I like it. So I picked up some big quality stuff for $22. Good haul.
From the mall, we headed for supper. We opted for Montana’s, since it was close and is always super delicious. I ordered my usual – baked chicken penne – and demolished it in no time. I’ve gotten in trouble with that dish before, when I was pregnant with Dekker. I ate the entire serving, and proceeded to be sick to my stomach for a good couple of hours afterwards. This far into pregnancy, there is only so much room for food! But its sooo yummy, there is no way to leave anything over! Luckily, this time I didn’t get sick at all. Win!
Our night didn’t stop there. We went downtown to the theatre to catch a movie. We couldn’t find parking for a little while but finally did, and sat in the vehicle and chatted for a good while. When we did opt to go into the theatre, Hailey paid for our tickets PLUS drinks and a HUGE popcorn out of points!! It was such a treat, as I so rarely get to a movie anymore, much less a movie at Galaxy! So we ate a second supper of popcorn and watched “We’re the Millers” which was completely hysterical. Crude, yes. But suuuper funny! The perfect movie for a girls night out. When we left the theatre, we both had to pee super badly but for some reason opted out of the theatre bathrooms. All the more reason to stop at Tim Hortons on the way back.
Yay for a MUCH needed pee break. There was a yucky bug in Haileys bathroom stall. Wish I had a picture. That thing was horrifying. I wouldn’t have been able to pee in there next to that thing. Just had to add that in here for good measure 😉
Drinks in hand, we headed to Hailey’s house. She handed me this massive gift bag and, being the disciplined person that I am (not) I opened it all up right there in her living room. And all of a sudden, my darling daughter has twice as many clothes as she had this morning. We were showered in gifts of sleepers, diaper shirts, leggings, dresses, and even items that are specifically for next summer. Sooo many of the items I have seen in the recent past and ached while I passed them up, trying to be responsible. I’m so glad Hailey and I have the same taste in clothes 🙂 I literally loved every single item!
I am now home. Didn’t see one deer on the drive, which is always a relief. I am full to the brim with no room for a snack, and I am so ready to cuddle into bed and watch some mindless TV and fall asleep. I really enjoyed my day and my body is tired.
Love you, Hailey dear! Thanks for my last night out for a while!
