9th Month Woes, and Mother's Day...

I know I have posted quite a few things in the last two weeks, but this will probably be it until Sydnee is born, which will be next Thursday, May 22nd. I am so grateful not to have to go much longer. Pregnancy never seems to hold me back from doing most of the things I do every day, but it has slowed me down the last few weeks. Its hard to clean up all the kids toys because bending over so many times is uncomfortable. And its hard to do things like make the beds because I have to lean all the way over to tuck in the sheets against the wall. And of course cleaning the bathrooms has been off limits because the cleaners are so strong it tears the paint off the walls! So its frustrating to me to be held back. Of course sleeping is almost non-existent. I can't get comfortable, and as soon as I do, the restless leg problem drives me crazy!! BUT... I suppose I can make it another week and a half! :)


And if all it takes is 9 months of uncomfortableness to have these sweat little babies, I guess I will manage. Here are some pictures of Mother's Day! Shaye made me a flower in a decorative pot at school, and then another craft at church. Jaxson made a fun candy arrangement at church also. Sam made a dinner of grilled salmon and lots of vegetables, which was awesome! (He has proved he can be quite the cook when he wants to the last few weeks.) We had a great day together. The kids were sweat, and Shaye tried to be especially helpful.

Okay...how come you get to go first? I have to wait until the 29th and I am just so hoping to go before then. Everything that you wrote is exactly how I have been feeling. I am so happy to know that I am not the only one! I wish you the best and am very jealous! Tell Sam "kuddos on the great Mother's Day!"

Isn't it crazy how a week and a half when your pregnant seems like FOREVER! I totally understand. I hope it goes by fast and everything goes great! You look really cute in those pictures, by the way.

Nat--You look so good!!! I can't believe the time is here for that little one to be here!
I love Mother's Day with little ones--they are so sweet!
