Today is Father's Day. Happy Day to my big daddy Freddie! and to my soon to be daddy-husband-David. Can't quite call him Daddy yet...since I already have a daddy. It just sounds weird to me at this point. David spent the weekend working in the yard and planting lots more in the garden. We've got a lot of sugar snap peas ready and of course lettuce and greens. I froze all the greens we could harvest at this point. Can't wait for the tomatoes though!
I spent the whole weekend washing and sorting through all the clothes we have received - new and old. Our neighbor gave us two huge garbage bags filled with girl clothes. This has been overwhelming. Does a newborn need 30 newborn onesies? How long do they stay a newborn to fit in to all these onesies? So - wash, sort, put in boxes, label, hang, go back through the boxes, etc. This is what I have done. And I still have a pile of clothes surrounding me as I type. Oh well - she won't be naked!
I'm now at 33 weeks. Just in the last week have I started to experience heartburn...especially after lunch. It's not like I am eating a lot in one sitting and I'm being good about what I eat. Just a lot less space in there these days. I'm also not sleeping as well as I was just a week ago. My plan for the summer is to take lots of naps! Today I had to chase the chickens back to their coop. David had just put up a new fence between the two halves of the yard and these smart girls figured out how to jump on the canoe and over the fence. So - I am running around, corralling them through the gate, and sure enough I pulled something in my hip. Got to be careful - the relaxin is setting in.
My doctor's appointments will be every two weeks now for the next month. I've got 3 more massages to get in before she arrives, weekly yoga, and hopefully a couple more pedicures too! Hoping the sun will start to shine and the heat comes so that I can start swimming outside and get a little bit of color. Angela is due in just a few weeks and we are hoping to hit the pool before her little girl arrives!
It's been an eventful day! Got the call at 1am to come over to Rob and Angela's - Rob says "We're not sure what's going on but can you come on over anyway?" I get there by 1:30am and Angela has been having contractions every two minutes that last 30-45 seconds. They left for the hospital after I arrived, got checked in and at 2am she is 8cm dilated. Sweet little Maggie was born at 2:37am July 16, 2010 weighing 9lb 2 oz. Her actual due date was the 10th. Angela is doing great after her speedy labor and Maggie is an angel. I can't wait to take Wylie back tonight to love on her some more! Here are a few pics I got when I took Big Brother Wylie over this morning to meet her.
