Summer Vacation Week 6&7

Summer Vacation is winding down though I really feel like mine is beginning with another possible 10 more weeks off still.

The last 2 weeks have been laid back. Baby Girl is getting big so it's getting hard to move as much as I want/need and my energy seems like it's been depleted but it doesn't help I'm not sleeping well at night... Though I think I may have figured out how to fix it in the last few nights (staying up later, less waking up in the middle of the night, waking up more refreshed). We'll see if it continues to work.

Josh has been busy with getting ready for Baby Girl and work. He has a gym membership so he can work out for those jobs he wants to apply for. He has been busy doing the honey-do list. He has been taking care of Little Miss when I have just been to tired to do it. He is amazing! 

Little Miss is more active than ever! Though she's a bit more cuddly now that everyone keeps asking her/talking about Baby Girl coming. It's really quite nice because she normally never cuddles with me unless she's sick. She is excited and fascinated with all things baby though, whether it be taking care of her baby dolls or seeing an actual baby at the store, she just wants to be near them. How she treats her baby doll, for the most part, tells me she's going to be a GREAT big sister! She's also finally showing interest in books... She's never been a big fan of being read too, ever (Except at Grandma Sheri's)! She is finally interested in books and actually letting Josh and I read and finish the book. 

Baby Girl is getting big and hasn't dropped. It's a good thing I've got a c-section scheduled since Baby Girl is doing the exact same thing Little Miss was, breach and refusing to drop. Her heartbeat is being picked up clear up by my ribs still. She is active and moving, all the time! I have a theory she's going to be a night baby. Whenever I have woken up in the middle of the night, she is the most active I have ever felt her, which will be fun once she comes! :D

As for me, despite being 35 weeks at this point, I'm trying to get some things done like the ward's Primary Program, last minute things around this house, and lesson plans which is scary that I've actually got to return to set up my room just for someone else to start the school year off. In that sense, I am very nervous even though I know I have a great sub. As far as everything else, it's only within my control that things get done or not so I'm not nervous because I can always shift and come back later. School planning, I've avoided (minus Pinterest and some TpT) most of the summer because I've been busy around the house but now it's time to start thinking and planning. I'll let you know how that goes! 

Anyway, have a good week! 

Summer Vacation Week 4

I can't believe it's been 4 weeks! 

Little Miss and Josh went out on a daddy/daughter date on Monday. They went to the bike store and Little Miss got really excited about seeing the seats you attach to the back of your bike. As soon as daddy went to work, mommy and Little Miss went 4th of July shopping. Little Miss got a cute new outfit with one of her favorite characters! Mommy also got her a complete set of sand toys! She was excited to be outside and play with them... even if it was in the rocks!

Tuesday, this mommy rested a little in the morning. We went shopping then came home, ate lunch, and napped. By the afternoon, this mommy had the energy to clean again so away I went. I decided to actually start on our bedroom. About halfway through the evening, Little Miss had enough and wanted some play/personal time with mommy so we headed to grandma's to take a break and get some stuff done. We got home almost 2 hours later and it was right back to work. This mommy finished cleaning by sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping! No more dirty floor! I then folded some laundry, looked up some ideas for bed frames, and went to sleep. Today was partly disappointing and I almost didn't get my stuff done, but let me tell you, prayer helps! I'm so thankful for my communication with my Heavenly Father because it can call me to rest but, it can call me to get up and work and tell me when I'm beginning to overdo it. I need it because I can't seem to tell what my own  body needs anymore. Lol So I'm eternally grateful because he's protecting my Baby Girl and helping me at the same time. 

Wednesday we cleaned/organized some more until it was time to get ready for Little Miss' doctor appointment. We went and everything is spectacular! She's 30 lbs. and 3 feet tall! She is growing like a weed. She also got a shot and didn't even cry! We came home and I had to deal with insurance/billing stuff most of the afternoon. 

Thursday was a day of relaxing and hanging out with family. We went to Chuckie Cheeses. We had and awesome time! We came home and worked on more stuff. 

Friday we went to my doctor's appointment. Everything is looking and sounding good! Josh started a project, restaining all of our furniture to match. I can't wait until it is completely finished. 

Saturday, we went to The 4th of July Stake Breakfast, shopping, and swimming. We had BBQ hot dogs for lunch. Afterwards, I called my mom and found out that my grandma passed away. We then hung out at grandma's house and watched movies and baked cookies . We came home and cleaned/organized some more. 

Sunday, we went to church and then went to Grandma's again and worked on some church stuff.
