Life Lately

Life lately is starting to slow WAAAY down, even on the weekends. Most of the time, that would be a very good thing but when you're 100 weeks pregnant in the heat of the summer and struggle to sleep longer than 30 minute stretches after the sun goes down, time doesn't quite feel on your side. ;) I'm really trying my best though to make the most of what little time I have left with just my boys.

One of my favorite moments of every week day right now is when Nic pulls in the driveway from work ... Liam does his signature hop skip run to his car while cheering "da da, da da, DA DA!!" and he helps him drive into the garage. He loves his da da and his da da's beep beep so much, it it the cutest thing!!

As the sun starts to go down, it cools off in the evenings and it is the perfect time for our family walk. I've had some pretty intense Braxton Hicks contractions and a lot of pressure and swelling the last few days (doing our best to keep her in there AT LEAST 2 more weeks!) so we've stayed close to home instead of our usual long walk with the stroller. Liam loves it because he gets to ride his wiggle car around the neighborhood and Nic and I can barely keep up he is SO fast these days!

I secretly hope his bear ear hoodie fits him through this fall again so that he can get a twinning picture with his baby sister in her bear ear sweater. ;)

Speaking of fall, his trick or treat bucket is his favorite bath toy holder. haha It is also super convenient for one big dump over the head to rinse off his soap! (p.s. Doesn't that shark toy look creepy real?!) It was Nic's as a child. He has a whole rubbermaid bin full of animals that we usually keep in the basement for playing while we work out down there but the shark made his way upstairs to the bath tub.

This is definitely not my favorite picture of myself but I didn't take a single one today during the solar eclipse! Liam and I went and watched it with our friends and as you can tell by him wandering around in the grass behind me, he could have cared less about the whole thing. haha In fact, as the moon crept in front of the sun and it grew darker outside, Liam came over to me with his sunglasses in hand and said, "Here mom!" and wandered off again to the playground. haha My personal favorite part about the whole experience was the 15 to 20 degree drop in temperature outside! Heaven for this summer pregnant momma!! It was also crazy to see a star out during the day time!

Besides updating our gallery wall and getting our carpets cleaned on Friday, I'm thankful to have most of the organizing, cleaning, and nesting finished around here! We're down to weekly doctor visits and last minute things to be packed in our hospital bags and we'll be ready for this baby girl! The days can feel physically long to get through but life is so good right now! XO
