Wow... What a Summer!


The biggest roadblock in blogging, is when you don’t have a computer on which to blog… I realize my last post was back in June, and Cub has grown into a watermelon, but Zach has been cross-country multiple times since then and that means the laptop has also been across the country.
            Sunday was the 36 week mark of my pregnancy. Which means I am officially 9 months pregnant!  I am so anxious to meet our Cub.  Sissy was born at 37 weeks and 2 days, and Branden was born at 36 weeks and 6 days, so obviously we are anticipating that Cub will make his arrival soon.  The hardest part of this is not getting disappointed with each irregular contraction that is not productive…  Today is my birthday, and what a cool present that would be, but clearly it is not my timing. This is a lesson I should know by now, I should know it and be able to teach it; however, when you are nine months pregnant, have been pregnant through the hottest summer on record, feel like the size of house, and every movement takes effort because my body isn’t my own, the idea of an impending birth is awesome!!!! One thing I do know… you can’t will your body into labor. I am all about “the baby will come on his own time,” I just have to keep reminding myself of that, and keeping busy.
           And wow have we been busy!  Our summer has been filled with trips, visits, pools, sunshine, preparing for Cub, and loving all over Sissy and Bubba!  Those kiddos got to go back to school with amazing stories. Trips to the beach in CC, cross-country road trip to Elizabethtown, PA, Hersheypark, Connecticut & Hammonassett Beach, a cruise with their dad to Cozumel and the Yucatan, and a vacation to Branson with Nanny & Dadad. I am so excited for the upcoming year for our entire family!  It is going to be Legen… wait for it… dary! J
