Taking a "Hike" :)

Packed and Ready to go!

Yesterday, my daughter spent the afternoon packing her backpack for a "hike" in the local park. I was up for the much needed exercise, and I want her to get to do more before this baby changes her life, so we went as a family after her father came home from work (and after eating dinner of course)!

In her backpack, there was a box for putting found objects into and a water bottle for me and a juice drink for her. She also brought band aids in case anyone got hurt. (In her last visit she got a bad splinter and we had to leave to tend to it since it was bleeding pretty good. She didn't want to have to leave again I guess? She packed two band aids per person, and one band aid for her in utero little sis.)



We "hiked" through the "forest" looking for "clues". This was her game and she came home with a few rocks and odds and ends she picked up while we walked around. After she got tired of walking, she hit the slide and climbed on the equipment at the park. It was a good time!



Afterwards, we hit the grocery store and walked a few laps around there too. VERY tiring day for me! :) Pic of me on the hike on my other blog.

Enjoy the photos!

Home alone and sweaty :(

Baby girl is much better now and eating all the normal foods. SO that excitement is over. THANK GOD. I don't need any more excitement (or expenditures) at the present time!

We are home alone tonight. Dear hubby is gone for today and tomorrow and back around midnight before he sleeps then goes to work on Tuesday. He is out of town for a work opportunity that I hope pans out locally. They hire around the country, including here. I can't go into more details now and I don't know a TON more about the position except that its in his field and supposedly a great position! We shall see if anything comes of this. I hope it isn't a waste of time.



I was terribly nervous about him leaving this far into a pregnancy, but he assured me that since it was one night only, NOTHING would happen. I feel pretty good about nothing happening (like labor) but I feel like you NEVER can be TOO SURE! Thankfully my parents were around to help out and distract us some today. I was sadder than I expected when he left this afternoon.

Daughter and I are sleeping downstairs because, of course, now that the weather is heating up, the a/c has gone kaput. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? It was in the 80s today and we had NO Air conditioning. It is in the 70s over night and we are STILL without air conditioning. I called early this morning and they assured me that someone would try to be here tomorrow if they could schedule the a/c guy to come. I HOPE TO GOD he comes because one more night of this...and I don't know what I'll do! I hate sleeping in heat and I hate sweating and pregnant women are small ovens to begin with! WITH THE A/C blaring I complain, so without it, I am a pretty miserable being!

Hopefully, Monday goes by quickly and midnight and my husband arrive safely and into a cool comfy abode! :)
