Ahhhh...the Sweeet Hotness of Summer..August is here!

It has been terribly hot for the last few days.  Houston, TX along with my waddling, rotund self is experiencing a nice heatwave!  Sweating in vast amounts, I wonder when this heat will let up and if I will continue feeling this miserable until delivery.

I have grown out of most of my pregnancy wear for the office and am limited to stretchy pants and this denim dress that I am wearing today because of the comfort factor, not the cuteness factor.  I had some really cute sundresses that I grew out of too.  :(  Sad. 

I am much bigger this pregnancy than with my son.  I look as if  I have been shoplifting at the grocery store and the score was a giant watermelon that I cleverly tucked under my shirt. 

Good thing is, I haven't managed a stretch mark yet.  :P  (I know some of yous are *jealous*)  I feel a lot better, no more nausea, but an increase in heartburn.  I have different cravings now...one in particular..FOOD!  I know what I don't want to eat, but couldn't really tell you what my number one craving is right now.  I guess I could say fruit.  I eat a lot of it, it makes me happy and the baby does flips.


P.S.  I want a shirt that says:  I am 7 months pregnant and I do not know the sex of the baby yet!!!  Please don't touch my belly!

Just to wear around, ya know..for S & Geees :) 

Fishing July25,10

Dad & JD Fishing :)

Dad took my son fishing for his first time this Sunday. It is so precious for the two of them to share such a moment together. I know my boy will remember this for the rest of his life just like I remember my Dad taking me fishing when I was about JD's age.

Swim FAN!

Ohhh emmmM Geee!, my boy is getting in the pool! 

 

You don't know how exciting this is for us.  JD, from the day I gave him his first bath -up until very recently, he has HATED water!  He would cry the whole time I gave him baths when he was a baby. 

He started slowly enjoying baths when he found out he could play in the water and it wouldn't hurt him.  Though the water splashing him in his face would bother him a bit, he started to take longer baths and laying down in the water in the tub.

So then we moved into a place that had a pool...

He would not even want to go in the gate to look at the water at first, but gradually-like with the baths-warmed up to the idea of throwing one of his toys in the pool for me or his dad to retrieve.  Then there was the toe in the water...sitting on the step outside of the water with the feet in...mamma convincing him to come and sit with me on the first step...then last year, he got so comfortable that he got all the way into the water up to his neck!  I was so proud of him then.  This year we have moved to a place with a bigger pool with (gasp!) more kids for JD to play with.  He was so excited to see some of his classmates swimming in the pool! 

I got him a floatie, some goggles and a squirty toy.

Having some familiar children for him to play with in the pool has really helped him come out of his shell and forget about the water splashing him in his face!!  He would cry for a towel and wipe his face whenever he got his face wet.  Now look at him!  He asks me every day to go to the pool.  His Dad & I have started to teach him how to hold his breath under water.  He's coming along and I couldn't be happier for him.  Overcoming fears is a huge step in growing up and my son is growing up so fast!  Have fun this 4th of July & be safe!  You know where we'll be!

I am very proud to be the mother of a Kindergarten graduate!  Congratulations, JD!  We all knew he could do it!  He is so happy to be in a "number grade" next year.  My husband and I threw a little celebration for him last night (loud music, dancing silly, making and throwing paper airplanes, and ice cream floats!  Yum!)
 

Today is actually JD's last day  of school and he was running to the bus this morning as opposed to the first day when we had to push him up on the bus!   :)

Summer has *OFFICIALLY* arrived!  Whoo hoo!
