I'm exhausted yet again this morning. The baby kept me up all night kicking and punching! I'm happy to know that our little one is growing strong and healthy, but mommy needs some sleep too.
I decided to start my day by cleaning up the kitchen, then relaxing in our jetted tub into the afternoon. That's become one of my favorite things to do. Relax in a bubbling bath surrounded by candles, reading books about pregnancy and natural birthing techniques. My second favorite thing is Aurelio's foot massages...mmm, maybe that ties for first...
To my surprise we received a package today from Grammy Hutchins; filled with a book for the baby, duckies for the tub and a nice soft fleece blanket to keep the baby warm in. The package also contained a book for me :) 'I'm a Mom, Now What?' I'm really looking forward to reading it. Looks like it will be really helpful in the first two years of our child's life. Thanks Grandma!!
It's in the high 70s again today, with a nice soft wind. The dogs are happily playing outside. We had another estimate done on how much it would cost to repair our fence - instead of replacing it. They are quoting $295 to get our fence back up in working condition...I'm thinking Aurelio might just have to pull out his handyman hat again and go down to home depot to get some fence wood...I think that's our best bet right now. We're trying to save up as much money as possible in order to pay for the birth of our baby and then all the things we need for the nursery...
Aurelio is still working on building the washer and dryer stand, but it looks like he might have it finished by this weekend...we just have to figure out how we're going to lift those machines up onto it...any ideas??
I started mowing our over-grown lawn today to learn that mosquitoes sleep in tall grass...Great! Ugh, I started chopping down our tall weedy bush things and all these giant mosquitoes came flying out at me! Ugh, I was already uncomfortable with the prickly grass touching my feet - but those bugs just pushed me over my tolerance limit! THEN came the yellow jackets...I shut off the mower and went running into the house, pregnant belly bouncing and all! I slammed the door shut without meaning to and the dogs seemed alarmed at mommy's weird behavior. I couldn't help but giggle, then peak out the window to see if there had been any onlookers. There were none, my crazy jog was kept my little secret.
