It's been awhile since I've updated, between hosting visitors and my exhaustion, I haven't been on the computer too much. I'm 4 weeks or less away from delivery, since I will more than likely be induced around 39 weeks if I haven't gone on my own by then. I've never been pregnant this long, I had already had Isabella by now. I'm very glad this little one (or big one!) is deciding to make itself at home a little while longer, my dream is to be able to have the baby released from the hospital the same time as me, I don't know what that's like, but in my mind it's amazing. :) The heat, but mostly the humidity, is zapping me, and I don't even do anything. I pretty much sit outside watching Isabella play all day. Thank goodness for naps (for her and me) in cool, air conditioned comfort! I feel like I've accomplished a lot these days, when I just get a good meal on the table for supper, and then all cleaned up. I'm so glad I got all the baby stuff ready a month or so ago, because now my energy level is zilcho and my weird pelvic pain is back with a vengeance, making it SO hard to walk, I told Monte he should get me an electric scooter, but he didn't really go for the idea! :) Anyway, enough of the complaining, it's nothing like what I went through the first four months, and it will very soon all be worth it! I'm trying to remember to offer it up for many of you, especially those who are hoping and praying for a baby.
Monte has been crazy busy with work lately, with no end in sight to the craziness. He's been having to work every weekend, too. It's good since he's bringing in extra money with all the extra weekends of work, but bad in that we don't see him nearly as much as we are used to. A certain Daddy's girl is REALLY missing him, and doesn't understand that when he is finally home he still has lots of work to do on the computer and phone, and can't play with her every minute. But I know that I sure appreciate all he does for our family! He's very stressed right now, and I know that part of it is that he travels all over, and now that the baby will be here shortly, he worries about being far away from home when the time arrives.
On to the pictures!
Playing in the sprinkler on a hot day.
Helping weed the garden, she absolutely loves to garden!
We got a new couch, and she thinks it is SO cool that she can recline in it, even though her feet don't come close to needing the footrest up! Our old couch was literally being held together with duct tape (no joke!!). I did have a slip cover over it, so it looked decent, but it was definitely time for a new, much more comfortable one.
My sister and her kids came for a couple days, as always, the cousins had a blast, and my sister and I enjoyed chatting and looking at recipes. :)

I was kind of hoping your blog post title would have a twist...like you'd been up to birthing that baby:) But I'm glad he/she is still baking and you are so near the end!
I've been meaning to write you and pick your brain. You are going from one child to two and our girls are similar in age. Any fears about that? maggie is trying NOT to nap anymore and by the time this baby comes, she'll be 4 and most definately trying not to nap. I'm still "neglecting" her and just wondering what you were thinking about this new transition:) I'm scared. I mean, I'm glad Maggie is older in a lot of ways, but still scared!
How about Bonise for a girl? (that's my word verification, if you couldn't guess)
I love that sprinkler! Wish we could come and play there with you!
I just looked back at my prayer that I wrote for you when Isaac and I were filling our "God box" in January. I was specific - asking for that baby to come after 36 weeks, minimal bedrest, Monte's good health and Isabella's easy adjustment. Still praying for all of that...
So cute!
I'm getting excited to see pictures of this newest one!
Thank you. :>)
I'm so sorry you've been having that pelvic pain... that stinks! Very thankful for naps for both of you, though. (Really? You clean up after supper?? And you're pregnant??? Hee.)
We've been blessed with just enough rain that there hasn't been much July irrigating, which is wonderful. But I know how much Goose gets to missing her papa when he's working those long days - and we at least have the option frequently to bump around in a tractor with him for a while.
I did a little work on the pillowcase dresses tonight - I'm cracking myself up because I'm so hesitant to cut into them; I don't want to mess them up! And I want to make them so that we can let them out a bit as they grow, but that might be a bit too much. They're turning out really cute in my head, though!!!
