What have we been up to?

Countdown to baby brother has begun.......my appointments are weekly now, that's when you know you are getting close. At this point with Griffin, I was actually about to deliver and didn't know it. Things aren't moving near as fast this time around. Thankfully, my blood pressure is still perfect and I'm not swelling like I did that summer (it was 100 degrees every day and this summer has been quite pleasant really).

Work has been crazy with a software conversion going on. That monsterous task has required working through lots of lunch hours and putting in some overtime last Friday night and all day Saturday. Between work, getting the house ready for baby, the birthday party, and life in general......I'm starting to really slow down. Contractions come and go, and of course things seem to be better when I take it easy and rest. So I'm doing more of that lately and trying to get to bed at a decent hour, which rarely happens. I really want to make it to the scheduled c section date of September 3rd but my doctor doesn't seem to have much hope. We'll see.

In the last few weeks we've had several fun things going on. I had an unexpected baby shower that was very lovely. We also attended one for Ashley and baby Bayley Ray who is also due anytime now. Drew's mom had a birthday party since she was unable to be home for her 60th last year. And several other events that I can document with photos:

Chase turned 2 and we had fun at his birthday party......

birthday boy!

 We've also enjoyed several dinner dates with Charlotte......

I've supervised some farm work--food plot preparation.....

And I enjoyed getting a pedicure with my favorite little man on the planet......
