I have not been finding time for blogging so I'll do a quick recap of our week and be better about more frequent blogging in the future...
Wed
On Wed of last week I went to the OB - no changes. However, I have been feeling a little "different" the past few days. I don't think labor is going to happen immediately but I can tell that I'm getting ready for it.
Thur
We went to Gymboree and Katie learned about houses - they washed pretend windows, cleaned up the pretend playroom, and went to sleep in pretend bunk beds. She had a really good time. They sing the same songs every week and now she knows them and sings really loud. It's very cute!
Fri
Went to Farmer's Market at Trilogy (nearby neighborhood). Ric's car didn't start so he took mine and Shelbi gave us a lift. Thanks, Shelbi, if you read this. It was very, very hot at the FM so we bought some strawberries and took off. Katie was so confused - as we walked up she kept asking where the cows were. She thought we were going to a Farm and didn't understand. Bless her heart. By the way, what a memory she has! All week, whenever I fed her those strawberries she'd always tell me they came from the Farmer's Market.
Sat
Busy morning. We went first thing to the car dealership and they replaced Ric's battery. Apparently they had given us a bad one about a month or so ago. Katie and I went on to Cracker Barrel for breakfast while Ric waited. Their pancakes rock! He met us there later and then we all went to the library. After that, Katie and Daddy went to Gymboree. Same thing as Thur - they learned about houses. Anyway, all this was before noon. Can't remember what we did the rest of the day.
Sun
Went to church. Later that afternoon the neighbors threw Shelbi and I a baby shower. It was fun - I really enjoy getting together with the ladies in the neighborhood. It was very sweet of them to throw us a shower. Getting diapers and little clothes and such really makes baby #2's arrival seem close! Ric mowed later and Katie always wants to follow him around the yard when he mows. It is adorable! Here are some pics...
Mon
Katie's buddy Grace came over to play while her mommy had a sonogram. They had fun together and shared very well. Katie went thru a little period of terrible 2's this summer but I'm really seeing a difference lately, particulary when it comes to sharing toys and stuff. I'm very proud of how well-behaved she's been lately. Oh, the one funny thing this week that isn't so appreciated is saying "Not" all the time. I guess it's her word of the week. It's funny to hear, but she is saying "Katie/I NOT go to bed", "I NOT eat dinner", "Katie NOT get dressed". I guess she picked it up from Ric or me.
Tue
Went to Bible Study. Everytime we go, Katie has so much fun and tells me so afterwards. I'm really enjoying it too - we're studying Genesis. We've gone over God creating the earth/man, Adam & Eve eating the fruit in Eden and Cain killing Abel. All those stories are so well-known, but yet I've still managed to learn something new each week. It's cool. Anyway, afterwards we went to the grocery store and had another "big girl" event. (Katie has done a lot of "big girl" things lately) The store has a play area where you can drop off your kid while you shop. I think I blogged about this before, but Katie has always been too scared to go in. She went in this time and had a great time!!! I had a great time too b/c I was able to grocery shop without having to keep her occupied the whole time. It was very peaceful.
Wed
We stayed home all day for the first time in a while. I did yardwork (don't tell my doctor) and Katie played on the slip-n-slide. Yep, it's still hot enough to do water activities. Here is a pic...
