I can't believe it is already halfway through August! This summer has gone by WAY too fast! (and been way too rainy if you ask me ha ha) My pregnancy app says I have 3 days left until my due date! Say WHAT? 3 days! I have been impatiently waiting for baby to come for the last 3 weeks. It's a cruel cruel thing to tell a big pregnant woman suffering in the heat of summer that her baby is full term at 37 weeks and can come any day now...Baby's nursery is finished, prenatal classes are complete, diapers are bought! I think we are ready ;). I look forward to the day I no longer have to visit every public bathroom (or make special trips to Target when I'm out JUST so I can use their nice clean bathroom! ). I also look forward to the day I can get out of bed easily again without thinking of how useful it would have been to hire a crane to help me up through these last few months ha ha. And I'm sure Jonny looks forward to the day when I stop dropping things on the floor, deciding whether or not it's important enough to bend down and pick up, and more often than not end up leaving it on the floor for him to pick up when he gets home from work! ;) But most importantly, I look forward to the day I get to meet our baby!!!! I have spent months dreaming of what she will be like and look like and I get to find out so soon! I can't wait!!
Well there was no Caribbean vacation for us this year ;) but we did take a mini trip to Muskoka for 2 nights :)! We had big plans to go canoeing, spend some time on the beach, and enjoy the outdoor pool and hot tub. But our one full day there was FREEZING and rainy. It didn't just drizzle, it poured! I didn't even take a sweater with me since I THOUGHT it was supposed to be summer ;) so poor Jonny gave me his sweater like the awesome hubby he is! We decided to be brave and go canoeing anyways...because of the rain there were lots of waves and the canoe was extremely tippy. We were pretty sure we were going to end up in the cold lake...so after 5 mins of canoeing we gave up. We then decided to swim in the pool, surely it would feel warm to us if it was so cold out....nope, pool was not heated and it was freezing! So we spent the whole day cuddled up in bed watching movies together which wasn't quite what we had planned but it was still nice to have a couple of quiet days together. We sat on the dock and watched the sunset and laughed hysterically about the silliest things.
A couple of weeks ago we decided to go to a baseball game and make use of the little bit of freedom we have left before baby comes ;). I asked Jonny if he could book us end seat tickets (due to frequent bathroom breaks ha ha) so he booked us tickets in the top section in row 31. We did NOT realize just how high up row 31 was! We started walking up to our row...and it kept getting higher and higher and higher! I was GRIPPING that hand rail like my life depended on it...yup 36 weeks pregnant and I was getting out of breath FAST! I got to row 28 and thought "I can't make it up another step!", but we finally made it up to our seats where I quickly sat down, gripped the sides of my seat and said "ummmmm, we are WAY too high up." Poor Jonny apologized profusely about making me walk so far, even though it was my fault we were so high up because I was the one who wanted end seats ...though I had already decided I was NOT taking any bathroom breaks because that would involve walking down...and then back up again! We did find amusement in watching other people walk up to their seats...people were huffing and puffing and sitting down halfway taking breaks. I can't say I enjoyed the first bit of the game but rather gripped my seat and pictured myself walking back down those steps and tripping and falling over the edge of the bleachers to my death. (I'm not even kidding....it looked SO steep from where I was sitting). About halfway through the game we decided to go get some snacks (& take that bathroom break that I couldn't hold off on anymore). While Jonny was waiting for me he went and found one of the employees and said "my wife is 36 weeks pregnant and we are in row 31, I really don't want to make her walk up all those steps again." (my prince :D) so she moved us down to row 12...where I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the game! It was definitely an experience and we have now learned to never book tickets so high up ever again! ha ha
Well that has basically been the extent of my summer fun :). I have been on maternity leave for a while now and am getting very restless and bored at home, so I'm hoping that changes soon ;). At least I have had time to get lots of reading done, which if you ask me, is the best way to spend a summer! :)
