A little taste of summer

So maybe I'm not as good with a blog as I had hoped. I blame it on still being pregnant and just a little bit cranky about it. So yeah, still preggo. I know I'm not due until Saturday but seriously, this kid has been in here 3 weeks longer then her brother, what does she think this is an extended stay suite?? I guess I was lucky not to have the achy hips, sore back, inability to sleep and general "fullness" with Aiden. I'm just getting it all and then some with Natalie.

On the bright side we had a few days of absolutely beautiful weather. Two days of 70 + degrees!! Aiden spent all his time outside barefoot and in nothing but a diaper (I wish I could say underwear, but that's whole blog in it's self, I've just given up until after things settle down with Natalie). So I did some yard work, was I hoping it would put me into labor? yes, but even if that didn't happen I did get some lettuce and spinach planted, the raspberries weeded out, and even some shelling peas planted. My baby lettuce that I planted from seed a month ago is finally making an appearance and the spring bulbs are looking beautiful.

I may still be pregnant but at least I got a few days in the sun (even got a little tan) enjoyed the grass in it's prime and even got a few loads dried on the line. I love clothes that smell fresh, you just can't buy a dryer sheet that smells like fresh grass, and flowers. We hope everyone got to have a little fun in the sun, and I hope to be posting soon about a new baby.

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!

My first Blog

OK, so I decided to start a blog. I have been so bad about keeping up with my Aiden Jeremiah fan club and I thought this might be an easier way to get the same information out to everyone. Plus I was inspired by my sister-in-law who is always full of good ideas, and if she can keep one up with 3 kids, well I think maybe I can do alright with 2.

So here goes nothing! On this beautiful Sunday morning with Toy Story playing in the background (or dominating the whole house, as is the case in such a small house) I am dreaming of the summer to come. The sun is out, the weather man said it was going to hit 70 today (and we know they never lie) and I wish I could be out planting my garden. But instead I sit here on the couch waiting for this movie to get over so I can gather the family and head out to the arboretum for a nice long walk. Maybe this walk will be the one that sends me into labor. I am done being pregnant. That's it, I've hit the mark and ready to meet Natalie. I have scoured the Internet for all the natural labor inducing wives tales. So we had eggplant Parmesan for the last two nights. I've been eating fresh pineapple like it's going out of style (great for the heartburn, let me tell you). I started taking evening primrose and I've been walking, and walking and going up and down stairs and walking some more. Then there is the visualization, at this point I'm up for anything!

And yet I am still pregnant. Any suggestions?? (yes I know, "just wait, it will happen when she's ready")

Well I hope all is well with everyone. I hope everyone goes outside to enjoy this beautiful weather today, and I hope hope HOPE that today is the day I go into labor.

Aiden said Sunday or Monday, and we all know he knows what he's talking about, right?
