Growing Belly and Busy Summer

Well, the photos uploaded in the the wrong order, so I will go backwards! We are having a busy summer here at the S house! The kids got out of school and we hung out for the first week and tried to get into the summer groove. The first week went by pretty slowly and the kids weren't sleeping in yet. The next two weeks we went to Good Shepherd VBX and VBS at River Hills. That was rather tiring, b/c we had to get up and get ready to be there at 9 for two weeks. It almost felt like school again. All three kids were old enough to attend both weeks, so it gave me a little time to get some things done around the house and get some errands done. Now we are in full summer mode with sleeping in and pool hopping! It's really nice to be able to wake up on my own or with the assistance of Grayson (he's always the first one up) rather than my alarm clock. I'm hoping to get to sleep like that until baby comes...so maybe 4 1/2 more weeks. The kids are loving the carefree days!

We are busy trying to get ready for baby boy! Brandon had to paint the other two walls in Grayson's old room and then we could get the room put together. I love how it turned out. There are some shelves I've added since the pics, but here it is almost finished... Can't see the wall above his bed, b/c his name is there..... only a few more weeks before we can share it! :)

A TV for mommy for middle of the night feedings

I love how the beachy/surf theme turned out.


I recovered the glider that we have had since Grayson was a baby.




Since we sold everything after Aubree, we have had to buy everything "baby" again. I took full advantage of the 20% off coupons for Buy Buy Baby and Babies r us. I would try to pick up one needed item everytime I went over on that side of town. I think now we have everything that we will need for a while. I have also made a few things for him too. Along with his bedding and curtains, I made 2 nursing covers and several little outfits. I've made his coming home outfit too!

The title said Growing belly too, but since the pics are backwards, we might should call it shrinking belly. Some of my pics are on my phone but here's three to share.
32 or 33 weeks... can't remember

This was around 20 weeks

And here's when I thought I had a belly! I think this was around 9 weeks!
I promise to update dear old blog more often since I'm done with teaching. I'm still sewing, but it's getting less the bigger I get. I'm really excited about taking two months off after he's born. I can't wait to just sit on the couch, do nothing and stare at my baby boy!
