Our Week in Review

This was our first full week home without having preschool, and it was great - except for the weather. Chad would ask me what I was going to do each day, but I can promise you that there is plenty to do around here. Monday was spent grocery shopping and doing laundry from our trip. It is amazing what you can run out of when you don't go grocery shopping for awhile. We also started swimming lessons that evening. Luckily they are inside, or we wouldn't be going. Owen and I go to the mommy and me class, while Claire goes to her swimming class. My good friend Debra is in the class with her son Carter and then her son Bryson is in Claire's class, so it has been great. Claire can hardly wait to show me that she can swim each day after her class - she is getting really good at floating on her back. The hardest part about our class is that it is every night at 6:30 for two weeks, so we have to rush through dinner, and hope that we don't freeze after class.

On Wednesday morning Chad's brother Brad and his wife Jessica welcomed their second daughter Brecklyn into the world. We still haven't had a chance to meet her, but will try again soon. The kids have had nastly colds and now I have one, so it is best if we wait until we are feeling better.

I also had my 26 week checkup with the midwife, and everything looks good. This pregnancy has been hard because I have just been so very uncomfortable (like right now I have heartburn!!). They told me at my very first appointment that the 3rd pregnancy is hard, but I didn't believe them - I believe them now. Plus, this baby moves all the time. It pokes me, or kicks (really hard), and even wakes me up at night. I'm afraid it is going to keep me busy when it comes! I honestly didn't even know how far along I was until I went to the doctor - I just figure the baby will come when it is ready.

Besides everything else, we have been spending time at the park, going on walks, and enjoying our time together. I am watching my cute neice Lilly for her mom because her babysitter wouldn't do it through the summer, but she is practically one of my own, so she is great! Chad and Owen went to a Father and Sons campout on Friday night, so Claire and I had a great time. I sent the camera, but did not get any pictures. Now we are just waiting for warm weather so we can break out the new swimming pool, and enjoy being outside without a sweater.
