We celebrated the start of my leave with a couple of A's games. Friday we went to the game and both AJ and I were not in a baseball game kind of mood, but ended up enjoying ourselves. Saturday we had a relaxing day, finally, and a great night out. It was my Uncle's 40th birthday last week so a group of us went out for dinner and drinks (water for me). I love getting together with family for a night on the town; a couple of drinks always brings out the fun in my Uncles! It's getting harder to stay out late so I only made it to 10:30 before my body told me it was time for bed. It was probably a good thing that we left so early because most of the same group of people were headed to the A's game bright and early Sunday morning. It was Grant Balfour Raging Gnome day and we were all determined to get our Gnomes. The only thing that made getting up at 7:30 on a Sunday easy was knowing that I didn't have to set my alarm for Monday morning! It was such a nice day in Oakland, a perfect Father's Day! AJ celebrated his first Father's Day in his #1 Dad shirt I had bought him when I was only a few months along.
It made me all giddy inside when I saw him in this shirt and thought that in just 5(ish) short weeks he'd be holding his son! I know his son isn't born yet, but AJ is already the most amazing father and Emerson is the luckiest boy to have a daddy like him. I've been lucky to have two great Dads in my life and they are going to be wonderful Grandpas, I can't wait! I hope all you dads out there were spoiled this Father's Day!
My first official day off on leave was Monday and it was actually pretty productive! I had a dermatologist appointment in the morning where I got some good news and some bad news. Good news first, the mole-like thing on my face isn't skin cancer! Now for the bad news, she told me it's just something we tend to get as we get older, around our 30's. UGH my body knows I'm going to be 30 next year! Age is just a number until you body starts acting like it's that number. Getting old sucks!
The rest of the day was filled with grocery shopping, laundry, and making dinner. I don't do this housewife thing so well so I was pretty happy with what I got done on Monday. Let's hope I can keep it up for the rest of the week. Looking forward to finally going through all our baby shower gifts and starting to fill up Emerson's nursery. We finished repainting the changing table this weekend and it looks 100x better than before! We also got in the curtains and ottoman for our glider. The nursery is practically finished now! AJ started working on building a closet organizer Monday night and hopes to finish it up this week. I'll post pictures of our finished nursery (hopefully) in next week's post.
