Yes, the rumors are true. Even though I said "never while at seminary" (never say never) . . . here I am ~ 5 1/2 weeks pregnant (yes, I said 5 1/2 weeks -- although I know it looks like far more than that). And we are VERY excited about it!! The baby is due on October 2nd. This will be our third child.And although I've been doing well holding the nausea at bay, the same cannot be said of my tiredness. But I have been doing my best to combat it. You know, mind over matter & all that nonsense.
And so . . . even though all I wanted to do today was curl up into a ball drifting in & out of consciousness while the girls watched a ridiculous amount of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, I made myself extremely productive & completed a project the girls have been begging me for.
My girls LOOOOOVE to look at books at bedtime. And how can I argue with that? Especially with a kindergartener just starting to read on her own. I wish I could remember where I got this idea, so that I could give credit where credit is due -- but suffice it to say, this creation was not original with me.
(I just did a little surfing & found where the idea came from. www.hiphome.blogspot.com under "Reading in Bed" -- Great Site!!!)
Today I made the girls Bed Bags. Cute little bags to hold their books as well as flashlights & bookmarks to hang at the end of their beds.
Peyton picked out her own fabrics ~ a purple paisley corduroy for the bag, brown with white polka dot cotton for the pockets, & green ribbon for the ties. The pockets are accented with purple & green buttons.
Caleigh also picked out her own fabrics ~ a teal flowered corduroy for the bag with a pink swirl cotton for the pockets & pink polka dot ribbon for the ties.
They only took 2 hours from start to finish & were definitely worth every minute when Caleigh came home from school to see her special surprise.
And now, with Rest Time right around the corner, the tiredness is catching up with me. But at least today I can rest guilt-free :)
