Bed Rest

I have been a terrible blogger.



I have excuses....



I am on bed rest, have been for almost 2 weeks...



Ewwww. Hypertension.



I guess I could have been blogging this entire time, but really, bed rest makes you feel off beat.



Curt's Mammie has been here taking care of us, she has been amazing- I could not ask for better.



The good news is that I am not completely confined to the bed, at least that was not how I took it.



So, when I feel good, I do some stuff and when I feel bad, I do nothing.



Here are some things that have been going on...







A punk kid was going too fast on our road and hit our mailbox. It was pretty exciting for me!!! Like we did not need anything else to deal with right now... Oh well, hopefully it will be fixed in a few days. For now, this is what it looks like...

I got crafty one day. I have a friend who wanted one for her little girls for her birthday... I love how it turned out. Kacey, I hope you do not mind me showing it!!! I was just so proud of my first ever girly shirt.... Yes, the button on top is crooked, I did that on purpose...

Before I went on bed rest, we made a trip to the park one day. I sat on the bench and milked the "9 months pregnant thing" and Curt chased Mason... It was a great day. I just love these two to pieces... I cannot wait for our new addition, Miles, to meet us on Wednesday....

Yup- You heard that right, we are inducing on Wednesday. Hopefully I will have some great pics up sometime on Thursday! Until then, I will be sitting my bum on the sofa trying to soak up my last days of just being Mason's Mom. We will be reading, watching movies about dirt bikes and dune buggies and getting in lots of snuggling.

Getting Closer

I had an appointment today for 36 weeks. I am happy to report that baby Miles is nice and healthy and getting ready to come and meet his new family! I am dilated to a 2 and a little over 50% effaced. The doctor went ahead and moved my induce date up from September 8th to September 2nd!!! So I have about 20 days until my sweet family of 3 becomes a family of 4!!!

I am feeling great, not sleeping much and I spend most of my time back and forth to the bathroom. But, overall, I feel like a million bucks!!!

Riding Bikes with Dad

Mason has a love for all things "bike" especially the ones that make noises and have motors... He also happens to adore his Daddy and everything that he does. So every-now-and-then Mason gets to take a spin around the neighborhood...

These two are so adorable...

Zoo-lishious

We went to the Zoo on Tuesday. It is one of Mason's favorite places to go. We also took one of Mason's favorite friends, Jack. His Mommy and little brother, Hudson, came along too. A great time was had by all...

Here is Mason and Jack showing some love trying to hug each other... They are pretty good buddies.

The GIANT snake on the playground was the most favorite attraction. The playground was the last stop and Mason had a MAJOR melt-down when it was time to leave...

Jack riding the carousel, just look at those BIG blue eyes...

Looking at the one of the exhibits...




I think this was the last time I will be able to take Mason before the baby comes, but we will definitely be going again in the fall when it cools down...

Not On The List...

Today, I had a super long to-do list... This shirt was not on it... But, I figured, "What the heck!"

Miles did not have his own shirt made by Mommy yet, so I thought I would whip him one right up!


I think he will like it!

PS- Have any of you ever used invisible thread? It looks like fishing line and is super hard to use. If you are feeling like putting your patients to the limit, try using this thread... I used it on the ric-rac water and the spout at the top.

The to-do list still has everything on it, I am hoping to get some stuff crossed off tomorrow so I can go into the weekend guilt-free!

Have a great weekend!
