Canada Day … YAY! We were all sick with a cold. Four sorry looking souls, coughing, with boogies .. not fun. Ooo but please have the 36.5 week pregnant gal wait in line for over an hour for the jumpy house … The things we do for love. Everyone had a great day despite being sick (poor J had to be the front man mostly even though he is under the weather too!)

We did not make it to the fireworks. It did not take much coaxing to get Becca to agree to see the fireworks at a later date (we have more celebrate with fireworks holidays coming).

Since getting this pregnant, I am wishing the baby to stay put for a change. Normally I am quite happy to fantasize an early arrival. However with this cold … ugh stay put baby. I cannot breath! So on Friday when I see our OB I will be requesting drugs if I am still sick. That bought with pneumonia has me super paranoid.

Nothing is getting done. House … AHHHH scary messy. Emails are piling up. Blogs unread. Designs waiting for inspiration. yuck. I so hate feeling crappy. I am hoping that once I do feel better I will be so relieved it will take no time at all to recover.

Nothing is worse than being sick when you kids are sick. I have so little paitence for the poor little things. They simply must suck it up and push through like the rest of us. I am thankful for the neighbor girl that will be coming by this morning to play/babysit so I can hopefully catch up on some house cleaning.

Have fun with more Wordless Wednesday.

Life is just on cruise control at the moment.

We received a cord of firewood this weekend. I attempted to help my husband move said wood, from the front of our yard to our wood shed. Poor guy. It was hard work. I helped, but barely.

I have a cold. Ethan has a cold. Becca is on the verge of having a cold.

We are boring. It is raining. Or cloudy. So we snuggle read stories, play on the wii, build blanket forts and chill out. I have little motivation. Correction. I have no motivation. I do not even take pictures. ugh.

I did finish sewing the baby’s play mat. Have been puttering about a little. Truly just want to curl up  in a ball and veg right out.

We are looking forward to Canada Day (if it doesn’t rain hard all day)! Becca really wants to stay up and see the fireworks.

How was your weekend?

*Do you know where that quote is from? I will give you a hit, it is from a television series that was on for 7 years

Sorry for the “scare” the other day. I was just way frustrated that my body was playing tricks on me. Thankfully the ankle pain has subsided, and I am once again walking for half an hour on the treadmill daily. Relaxin is such a torturer of a hormone. I get that it will help once the baby is coming out but it so messing with everything else too! The chiropractor has made such a difference with my back, that I really should not whine.

Becca attended her Aquatic Preschool Graduation today. It was so sweet to watch her sing the songs they taught her and see her swimming pictures. They grow up so fast, it is bittersweet. Not sure what possessed me to suggest we walk the 40 minutes UPHILL on the most humid, hot day in weeks. We arrived and I was all sweaty and gross. It was nice on the way home, downhill but I am so overwhelmingly hot right now. Of course my sweet children want to play outside So here I sit sweaty, sore, pregnant.

30 days till the due date. It seems so surreal that we have so little time till she comes into our lives on the outside. I am tired, sore and cranky at times but like having this baby so close to me. Besides, I am not *allowed* to have the baby before Amy returns from her vacation in three weeks.

I cannot believe I posted bare belly pictures. That is a first for me. But the angles and lighting were just right, disguising some of the stretch marks I fell huge but I am smaller than the last two. I even lost 6 lbs the last two weeks (when I started on the treadmill and cut out some snacks, I am still measuring right on).

It has been raining or overcast for 5 days now. I am so so ready for some sun. The kids had a blast playing in the wet yard yesterday, finding slugs, snails and other delightful creatures. However when your energy is lacking cloudy days are so not helpful.

I finished anther stack of books and in great need of more reading material. Any suggestions are welcome I am waiting for some holds at the library and hope to scope out a used bookstore this week. Read any good books lately?

Have fun with more Wordless Wednesday.
