Another Hot Day

Sure is a hot one here today! I went out for lunch with one of my good buddies and I couldn't believe how hot it was! I am thankful for my air conditioned house and car! And also thankful that restaurants have A/C. After lunch I stopped by my mom's school and visited with her for a bit but her school doesn't have A/C and I was getting so uncomfortable that I decided I better leave. Ankles sure are swollen today from this darn heat! Guess I'll have to go and rest for awhile.
James' softball team won last night, 18-9!! His team didn't have the best of nights but they pulled together for a big W! I ended up going and sure was warm. Plus the bugs were very annoying. But it was worth going. I just love watching James play. He didn't play the greatest but that's ok. He's hoping that next week he'll do better.
Tonight for dinner I think we're gonna grill chicken. Not sure what else to have with it. Sure wish I had some good side dish recipes. Especially for the summer. Something with fruit. I'm all about fresh fruit! I'd rather have that then *gasp* chocolate! Call me silly, but since I've been pregnant, sweet stuff is not something I crave. Which I am thankful for. Sure has helped me eat healthier and not gain a lot of weight.
Any else have trouble sleeping during the end of their pregnancy? What did you do to help you sleep? I have pillows in bed that I try to surround myself in but I just can't get comfortable. And then of course if I do get comfortable, I have to use the bathroom! Last night I ended up moving to the couch about 3:30am. James woke up and had no idea where I was. He was worried something was wrong. Ain't he sweet?!?!? Oh, and talking of sweet, we were watching A Baby Story on TLC yesterday and he had never seen that show before (can you believe it?!?!) and he was soooooooooo attached to the TV. He couldn't believe everything that was happening to the woman in labor and watching the baby come out. He said afterwards that he could almost cry just thinking that is going to be us in about 9 weeks! He's really worried that he won't be able to stand watching me be in pain. But I know the Lord will give him the strength he needs!

wELCOME TO THE BLOGOSPHERE! Oops, one of the kids must have hit "caps lock". Anyway, Iit sounds like you guys are doing well. I look forward to hearing how everything is going with the pregnancy. You know, it's funny. When I was pregnant with my girls (all three), I never craved sugar. With my son, I couldn't get enough! Wierd. Good to hear from you, and I look forward to keeping updated with your family!

Glad to hear that James' team got the win! Having a baby in August in Michigan pretty much means you are going to be miserably hot and probably swollen but it's all worth it in the end.
Are you guys going to do a birthing class? James will really get to see some fun videos of birth if you do that! :)
