Summer Lovin!

Today is Ray's 32nd Birthday!  We are heading out for lunch soon.  We had a wedding last night, so Kenley slept over at Go-Go's house  I have been trying to take advantage of the morning/early afternoon to relax, but of course I ended up going shopping, pulling some weeds, and doing 3 loads of laundry!  So now, I can officially relax.

The last few weeks have finally felt like summer! I'm enjoying the warm weather and have been outside a lot. I'm glad that being 8 months pregnant hasn't stopped me from that, but obviously I am not doing anything strenuous other than playing with Kenley or water activities, but a few days even that has been tiring on my body by the end of the day.  We have had such a fun few weeks with the fourth of July, which we spent swimming at my sister's in-laws house.  We spend a day at my Aunt and Uncle's lake house and had a great time enjoying the beautiful weather, swimming, and Papa taught Kenley how to fish! We have also had a few play dates, visited the farmer's market a few times, went to the splash pad, and enjoyed a few days in our backyard with all of our backyard water toys and pool. 

 

 

 I'm starting to get very anxious/excited about having this baby!! I am feeling ready and by the end of the week I am planning on having my hospital bags packed. I really hope that I either go into labor a bit early, or that I am induced a week early like I was with Kenley. Even though my actual due date is 3weeks away, I don't know if I can take being pregnant that much longer. I've been having so much trouble sleeping, and by the end off the day all of my muscles tense up and it's hard to move. I know this is pretty normal at this stage and my body's way of telling me to slow down.  I am very grateful that I am not working right now, but it's hard to just relax. I'm trying to do as many fun things with Kenley as I can, and we have had such a fun time these last few weeks.  I've also been trying to finish the last few details in the baby's room and make sure our house is as organized and as clean as possible since I know that will be neglected those first few weeks.  I know I will be able to enjoy those first few days more being home if I have most of that in order.  It's getting very close, and I am on baby watch!  Until then, I will TRY to relax!
