Summertime! Maybe?

The weather the last few days has been quite interesting. In an effort to keep myself, and my toddler busy, we've been trying to get out of the house more often. If we don't get out, all Beth wants to do is watch Word World. Netflix is great, don't get me wrong, but my child knows that it's always available. So, she always wants it. So, the other day we went to the park, and I quickly realized that the weatherman was wrong! I dressed Beth in long pants and a long sleeved shirt. And instead of 55 degrees, it was 70 degrees out! I was sweating just sitting watching her play. So, after only 15 minutes, I had to throw in the towel. Later that afternoon I decided to try again, and go for a walk. And the weather was MUCH nicer, until it started to rain. Geez. Make up your mind! I'm good with it not being summer for a few more weeks, so let's just stick with 65 with a slight breeze.

Andrew and I had the chance to go to dinner and a movie last Friday, thinking it will probably be the last time we will have a date night for a few weeks or months. We had a delicious dinner at Louie's (you can NEVER go wrong with Italian) and then we went and saw Limitless. I wasn't too impressed with the movie, but it was a few hours with my husband that I am grateful for. He started his summer class on Monday and, although his Saturday job has ended, he's still working full time. So, our time as a family is limited.

We did make a quick visit to the hospital this week, but not for labor. My Grammy Bassett had a stroke Sunday, about a few minutes after we said Goodbye to her at church. My dad called me an hour or two later. And he started the conversation with "I have some information for you...." Which I didn't like at all. Luckily, she has recovered better than expected, and will have very minor lasting effects from the stroke.  

I've made an effort to do dishes, laundry, vacuuming, and other tidying up daily. Yeah, most of you do this anyway, but I usually have a specific day for laundry, dishes, and room by room cleaning. So doing it in small shifts every day is different. It keeps me busy, and I know that no matter when I have this baby, my house will be clean! I've been amazed how fast I've been able to finish my pre-baby projects. Last week I showed a picture of the quilt pieces I cut out, and I was happy that in just a few hours I was able to finish the front! I'll be enlisting the help of my mom to finish it. But I'm happy to have this much done! 

Recently I have started getting the "Oh, you poor thing" look from people when I'm out and about. I didn't think I was THAT pregnant, till I looked at a picture Andrew took of me last week. I do look painfully pregnant!

37 Weeks

Weirdly enough, when I took my 38 week picture, I look LESS pregnant. So, either the baby is dropping, my outfit is deceiving or I'm just weird like that!

Almost 38 Weeks

Well, I'm planning on doing lots of walking and cleaning the next few days. We'll see if anything comes of all my efforts, besides me being exhausted and having a clean house. :-) I'm trying to treasure every moment of alone time I have with Beth, it will be an interesting adjustment to having 2 girls. So, I try to make sure we spend lots of time having fun. We won't be a family of 3 for much longer!

Well, We can't wait to have our 2nd little girl join the family! I hope that everyone has a great week!

Happy Blogging!
