Cate was up before the sun calling for me and wanting to snuggle. What a little sweetie. It’s a good thing I can get by on just seven hours of sleep! Guess she’s getting me ready for the fun of having a newborn.
I’ve been having lots of fun lately enjoying summer to the fullest. Some nights they don’t go to bed until after 9 p.m. *gasp* We’re so wild. Ha!
Yesterday was my doctor’s appointment. I’m 24 weeks already! The doctor said I have only gained seven pounds. That’s from 8 weeks to now though. I think total I’ve gained closer to 15 but I’m still really happy about that considering I gained over 30 pounds with Cate and over 50 with Emma! I guess I learned not to eat for two. I just eat what I did before I got pregnant and though I quit lifting weights and doing exercise classes, I do stay pretty busy so maybe that counts for something.
The MIL kills me with her freakin’ comments though about how I’m not showing and how she forgets I’m pregnant. I shouldn’t care but it irks me. Every summer she is off from her job and yet never shows any interest in the girls. Billy told her I had a doctor’s appointment yesterday so she had called last night to ask how it went. I told him not to call her back. It was after nine but he ignored me and called her anyway. FIL’s gone to the Eastern Shore to go fishing with a friend of his. Funny that he has time to do that but when I asked them about taking a short vacation to the beach with us he told me he couldn’t take the time off because they have so much to do around their house. Whatever!
Billy’s going to blacktop our driveway today and then next on our project agenda is pressure washing the house, the deck, staining the deck and painting our master bedroom. We also have to fix the basement door that is really in disrepair and has been for some time. It looks like shit. A house is just one giant money pit. I totally understand now why some people just rent and never own.
I’m thinking about having a little 4th of July party. It’s on a Saturday this year. Usually Billy has to work but this year he’ll be home. I’m thinking about keeping it very simple but it would be fun to have some adults over to hang out with. He says no one will come because most people have plans but all I’m thinking is getting a bunch of hot dogs at Sam’s Club, a big watermelon, some chips, baked beans and that sort of thing. Maybe a cake similar to PW’s for dessert. Like this. I saw those big sheet pans she uses at Sam’s last time we were there.
The girls are all racked out in here watching A Bug’s Life. Crazy kids. We took them swimming last night and then out for pizza. It was fun. I’m pretending I’m on vacation lately and just having fun, fun, fun!
If the heat wasn’t getting to me, I would be out much more. I am glad to see you so busy. I know when I was preggers all I wanted to do was rest, knowing that the baby was on it’s way, ya know.
You will have a good party. This year our neighbors are having one, they do every year but we don’t go. You can see the fireworks they do from our deck so we sit on our deck with the girls and sparklers, it is fun. I was thinking about taking them this year tho. They are getting bigger.
I need to hit the gym, it seems like such a pain in the butt so I have been lazy about it.
Don’t worry about the weight, you will drop it running around after all 3 of those cute girls!!!
I’m glad you are enjoying your Summer. It doesn’t even feel like summer. It’s been cold, cloudy, and a little wet. Totally weird weather for this time of year, if you ask me!
Ask around and see if there are any people who don’t have plans for the 4th. The menu sounds yummy! I hope you have fun, if you do decide to go ahead with the party.
