How Far Along? 37 weeks & 2 days!
I got a little inspired by some Pinterest pics and tried to get some last minute photos of Grace and baby Clark. I think they turned out okay- nailed it!-- Plus, it highlights my bulging bump! Not sure if that's a good thing, but it's a memory nonetheless!
A large portion of my weekend (4-5 hours) was spent grading papers. Ugh. Not the most fun way to spend my weekend, but it feels good to finally be done! With the end of the 6 weeks approaching, I want to make sure I am more than prepared for labor! I met with my long term sub on Friday, and my grades are finalized! (except for the few students that like to wait until the last minute- of course)
On Saturday, after using a gift card to Breadwinners, we decided to renew our membership to Sam's. Figured it would be a good decision for shopping with two kids. (especially two kids in diapers!) Grace thought Sam's was some type of amusement park or something! She had more fun in that place than most playgrounds. She's a cheap date! I felt like we were getting some judgmental looks from people since we were just letting our child run around crazy, but she was just being so funny!

What is it about the cheese balls? She was totally bummed we couldn't get these!

Best place for hide and seek! Do you see a little girl in there?

Saturday night, we had a church group meeting and Matt & Cecily were very generous to come and hang out with Grace. It seemed like they had a really good time. We got some photo updates of their 'bow party'. Also, when we got home and Matt & Cecily had left, we went in to check on Grace and it looked like the bow party followed to the bedroom!
Sunday was full of productivity! After church, we headed to Wal-Mart to pick up Grace's swingset. I spent a good chunk of my morning opening and organizing all the thousands of little pieces it requires to put this thing together. Figured I'd be as useful as possible. I got the first 6 steps organized in Ziploc baggies, so as soon as we can get a little assistance (Landon?) :) , we'll knock this thing out!
We also made a trip to Lewisville to pick up a freezer from Tom & Patsy! They were not only generous enough to give us the freezer, but also drive it back to Plano. We took a little afternoon break to watch the Rangers/Cowboys game, where I apparently fell asleep at some point. I woke up and everyone was gone---oopsy.
I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday to check how far I've come in a week, and I'm praying I've come a good ways! At this time with Grace, I would've already had her...so it's making me anxious! When I'm not staying busy with schoolwork, I try to keep my mind as occupied as possible! Besides reading about little hints for jump-starting labor, I LOVE spending time appreciating all the lovely things about fall! Whether it's watching sports or pretend shopping on Pinterest, my mind stays nice and busy! Here's some goodies I am lusting over at the moment!

Even though I have short, stubby legs, I still love the booty!
|
 |
Love the Mungo sweater-- looks super comfy!
|
 |
Gotta get me some Aztec leggings.
Something tells me I'll be wearing out some leggings this fall/winter!
|
I WILL be making me a door wreath of some kind this Fall. I always look at them and have tons of ideas--I just need to do it! I can't decide if I want to do a fall theme or just do a 'B' in Red & Black chevron or something? Anyone want to do a Pinterest party and inspire my creativity??
Mike leaves town tomorrow night, so I need everybody either praying that I go into labor early tomorrow OR wait until Thursday! Also, if I make it until Thursday, I have an 1 1/2 hour prenatal massage calling my name. So torn! Until then, here is my motto:
...however, this might be hard when this is one of your daughter's favorite things to do at the moment!
