I'm all alone today. Austin is out with the lawn care crew. Thomas and the three youngest went to wash a log house. It's one of a kind and Thomas hasn't found someone else to do it. He turned the log home care he had been doing over to someone else when he took on the overhead door business. But he says this one is special. Please don't ask me to explain.
My morning consisted of getting one more dress ready for nursing. I purchased a number of nursing dresses from the Facebook group "Dress Swappers". I'm cutting the necklines lower and the sleeves shorter and doing the sewing that this maneuver entails. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a low neckline, short, short sleeve kind of person. But these necklines choked me and the sleeves were long with elastic which I find very uncomfortable. They just needed some help.
This is how the dresses came |

Only seven weeks left until my due date! Or six weeks if I go by the ultrasound. Who do you believe? Babies make their own due dates anyway. So we'll just take it as it comes. But I am definitely longing for the day I get to meet this little storm within me. She has enough energy, that's for sure!
I had listed some items on the local yard sale group on Facebook so I took some time to edit or delete some of those. Plus browsed a bit to see if anyone was offering something I need.
Evening is here. I finished our laundry and Austin's. Cleaned up the kitchen and made supper. We had Cobb salad (basic recipe from Mandy in the Making) and cranberry jello salad (recipe found in this post). This was planned for lunch yesterday but then we were invited away.
Christopher was home from work early enough to grill the chicken and everyone enjoyed the good food.
I thought I would sit outside to eat my lunch but then it started raining. We've had rain showers off and on all afternoon. We haven't had an overabundance of rain lately so it's really good to see it coming down! I did think I would sit outside a bit this evening but now it's raining again.
My lunch- southwest pizza & lettuce salad |
I can't believe you only have seven weeks before you meet your little girl. Did it seem to go by quickly for you?
ReplyDeleteOur weather has been quite warm but monsoons have finally started which cools un down temporarily. Here in AZ, the temps will be 90°, then a thunderstorm will come through dropping the temperature to about 65° and once the storm has passed the temp is back up in the 90s. Wild isn't it?
No, it hasn't really gone quickly for me. :) It's nice to get those little reprieves when storms come through. But then the humidity goes up. I don't think I could take AZ heat!
