a few days worth

So, I've had a lot of time off this week!  I got to enjoy the sunshine and basically, I just hung out at home and tried to rest.  I didn't much housework until today, and it has been nice to spend extra time with my husband and little boy!  I'm kind of just putting a bunch of pictures on here in a random order, so deal with it! haha.

I found this cute little romper and boxes at target - the romper was only $3.50 and the boxes were in the $1 section.  I'm going to use them for storing baby items of Hailey's.  I wanted to buy all of them, but restrained and only got 3.  Oh and the little hat was something I crocheted and attached a flower I made to a couple of weeks ago.  Hopefully it will fit a tiny newborn head - it is very little!

Have no idea what day this was...the sunny one!  I put our clothes out on the line for the first time.  You can see our crazy yard here - all those bricks we have been digging up.  There is so much work to do, but we haven't had a sunny day when we are both home to go at it!  Soon, soon...

This is my potting table outside.  The bottles are just there for no reason, and the bottom pots have cilantro and basil in them.  I planted them about a week ago, and am not really sure if I"m going to be able to get anything to grow, but I have more seeds to try again if not.

And this is my basil plant I am trying to save.  It has gotten really wilty, so I tried to plant it, but its still kind of falling apart.  It doesn't even look as good as it does in this picture.  so I'm trying to use it up before it dies.

Shea got to play outside with his cousins for a while - Cor usually peddles Shea around on this trike, but Shea wanted to try.  He doesn't know how to peddle though, so Cor was pushing him around from the back and making him feel like he was giving him a ride.  haha.  Such a sweet older cousin!

This was my breakfast today.  Strawberry yogurt, granola, and strawberries.  Yum-o.  And yes, I am aware that I am making a very dorky face, thank you.

Not quite my weekly pic - I think this was taken Wednesday while I was out working in the yard and watching Shea.  I ended up knitting for a while (forgot to take a pic of that, but will next time I post) out in the sun, and it was soooooo wonderful!

I started coming down with a cold Wednesday night, and felt it bad all day yesterday.  I have been achy and tired and not really wanting to do anything.  I went to bed last night at 9 and slept really well until 11:30 when Jeremy came home.  Then I slept again until 1 when Shea woke up afraid of something in his room.  He ended up sleeping in our bed. I meant to put him back in his bed, but never did.  Both Jeremy and I slept terribly.  He had a pounding headache and I had a sore throat, runny nose, and of course, heartburn on top of it all.  I'm far enough in my pregnancy now that I think I need to go buy some tums for nights like those!  I usually just drink peppermint tea or some of my calcium-magnesium powder in some water, but I couldn't get up squished between my two boys. haha.

This morning we all had to be up at 6, because I had to drive Jeremy to the ferry.  His Uncle gave him a pass to a ministry conference in downtown seattle.  So, Shea is going to my in-law's while I go to work, and then Jeremy will come home with me when I get off at 10:30 on bainbridge.  Then we do it again tomorrow. Except, I have to work 10 hours tomorrow, so Shea will be with gramma and papa a long time!  I'm so glad Jeremy got to go to the conference though.  I am sure he is enjoying it and he was very excited to go.

For some reason, I forgot that I took a picture already and took a second one.  Oh well.  My belly looks way bigger in the second pic though.  Must be the dress I'm wearing, because I don't think I really look that big most of the time...it seems most people are shocked to hear I am almost 7 months pregnant.  I think I've gotten 3 comments in the last week from strangers saying something to that effect after they assume I am only 3 or 4 months along.

Now I'm off to pack Shea's bag and get ready for work.  Loved reading all the new posts!
