Stocking up

I just bravely ventured out with the boys to Meijer for some necessary supplies. We are now stocked up on all the sickie essentials: soup, sprite, sore throat tea, powerade, Tylenol Cold and Sinus for me and Alka Seltzer Cold for David (I love that stuff. I really wish I could take it while pregnant *sigh*). We might just survive this. Maybe. 

Sickies

I'm 8 1/2 months pregnant and sick. Life's not fair.

Actually we are all sort of under the weather around here. For the most part, we've spent our days sitting on the couch, watching TV and looking like this:

The kids have been doing the best. Sort of runny nose-ish and overly tired and cranky, but it never seemed to hit them too hard. Just a big case of the yuckies. Dave and I woke up with super sore throats yesterday that turned into really stuffy noses and painful ears. Not good. Not good at all considering I could go into labor any day now.

Pray for us! We need it!

37 weeks

I'm just over 37 weeks now and waaaaaay beyond ready to have this baby. Just for kicks and giggles I pulled out my 37 week pictures from both other boys' pregnancies.

36 weeks!

Only 4 more weeks to go! Whooo!

For proof check out this little ditty I found online today. It's almost as if I wrote it myself.

Long time, no blog

Following doctor's (and hubby's) orders, I have been trying to take it easy lately. Do less, rest more. That's my motto. You'd think that would be sorta nice, but really it's kind of a bummer. I am feeling better, but now just about every afternoon is spent taking a nap snuggled up with my boys instead of wasting time on all the silly things I was doing just for fun - like blogging. :( Sad.

A little picture recap of our last couple of weeks:

I've capitalized on the boys' desires to be big boys and put them to work with laundry and such... 

Filling the washer

Emptying the dryer

We've made lots of cookies (my latest craving!)

Sneaking some bites

Yeah, I saw that!

He's sorta sad because I took the cookie
dough away

And we've had lots of cookie and milk bedtime snacks. :)

 

The boys have spent a good deal of time just being cute...

And we've made lots of silly faces...

The boys decided they LOVE toast sandwiches. Cheese topped scrambled eggs sandwiched between toast slices are MUCH tastier than the cheese topped scrambled eggs with toast slices on the side that I was giving them. :)

Once again, David is being an awesome helper. He loves using his little broom to clean up crumbs after a meal.

David got a sweet Kung Fu Panda tattoo. He likes to call it a "tattoon" because it's a tattoo and a cartoon. He's silly like that.

We've tried to come up with creative ways to occupy our time while Dave's away at class in the evening. One night we made a tree craft...

Then we set up a forest near our farm and drove our tractors all around the toy room making tractor noises and feeding animals.

My absolute favorite part of the last couple of week though has been all the naps. Hands down. The naps win.
