We've had a wonderful summer this year. It's been unseasonably mild here, but I really haven't minded. Since we don't have central air, the cooler weather has been lovely for my pregnant self.
We've gone to the beach a few times and we went to Kansas City about 4 weeks ago. Of course, I forgot my camera. I've done a horrible job about taking pictures this summer. I'll blame that on pregnancy brain- and four kids. :)
We celebrated Ezekiel's 2nd birthday on July 21st. He's grown into such a sweet little boy. Every time I feel sad that he isn't a baby anymore, I just remind myself that in a few months I will have another baby.
And speaking of the baby, this pregnancy has gone remarkably well this time. Since I've had preeclampsia in past pregnancies, I was worried that the same thing would happen this time. Being on bed rest and having to go to the doctor 3 times a week for non stress tests, is pretty much impossible with four other kids at home. So it really, really is a huge blessing that this pregnancy has been so good. I've been working out 5 times a week for 45 minutes. It's really helped me not to gain too much weight and hopefully will help with a quick labor and delivery. I don't know where my motivation has come from, but I've been very consistent with the exercise.
Tomorrow is our 6th anniversary. It's amazing to think about all of the changes we've had in the past few years. God has blessed us in so many ways- I'm constantly reminded of how lucky I am to have the husband I have!
Here's some random pictures of the summer. Not too many since I haven't been good about taking pictures. Or updating the blog. Anyone who's been pregnant can relate- I'm definitely not myself when I have a little person growing inside of me. The second the baby is born, I'm a whole new person. Only 14 more weeks left! :)
