26 days and counting

I'm nearly 37 weeks along now, just cruising along! As fast as the time has gone, it could sure go a little faster these next few weeks. My maternity clothes are begging for mercy, but I'm determined not to buy anymore for such a short period of time. I've had good week as far as feeling decent and sleeping ok. When the baby moves you can really see my belly move also. Jayda gets a kick out of seeing and feeling it move. Actually I do too! It is an amazing process and mind boggling to think of the little person incubating in there!

I had a very productive weekend. Jayda's bunk bed arrived, so Taylor and I put most of it together. We did have to call for backup and get Jed to help us a few times. Somethings are just easier for a man to do. I don't have a twin mattress for the top bunk yet, so Jayda isn't actually sleeping in her new bed yet. Taylor occupies the bottom bunk for a few more weeks. I also got down all her baby clothes and got them sorted through. I feel much better and like I'm making progress finally. I run out of steam pretty easily though, so I just have to keep motivating myself to plug away. I mowed the lawn and had to take 3 breaks before I was able to finish it!

Unfortunately in the hay department, things aren't going so well. Lemmon had a bad hail storm come through that flattened Jed's hay crop to the ground. They got about 150 bales put up before it happened. In the last week a few opportunities have came up for them to hay on shares, so I think we'll be ok in the end. With all the rain we've gotten it might even grow back in time to get cut down. Jed thinks he'll be haying until Christmas. I don't find that very funny.

We have friends coming this weekend to go to the lake with us, so we are looking forward to that. We'll be camping at our house again, rather than at the lake. Less packing, less work, more sleep! They have a little boy close to Jayda's age that she will have a blast playing with. Then Jayda and Taylor are going to Rapid for a week to stay with my parents. We'll see how Jayda does without her daddy for a whole week! I'm sure she'll be fine and they'll keep her busy enough she won't even remember us!

I don't know if the hormones are peaking again or what is going on, but i've been more emotional lately. Going through Jayda's baby clothes and remembering certain outfits she wore to events or just that time period was getting me choked up. It's funny how you can remember specific occasions just by seeing an outfit. Funny how the mind works.

Sorry i've been slacking in the picture department. Hope to have some after this weekend.
