August!

One more month and little Connor will be here! I am super excited to meet him. I conveniently look past the whole hospital part and am looking forward to having him here and getting to know him! Well, I already feel like I know him, but I want to hear him, snuggle him, avoid getting peed on, and all of that!

Regrets at this point are not being more active. I have let the heat outside hold me back instead of finding other ways to be active and healthy. I am glad that I have gained the perfect amount of weight this time around, but my slothful ways are going to get me into trouble when I go into labor. So, in this last month we are walking around the block at night. It's about 20 minutes worth of activity right now. I am getting off of the candy kick, too. It may have been easy to keep weight gain to a minimum when all of my insides are squished, but I need to get back to my healthy living after this kid is born so I can lose the weight! Sugar addictions are the WORST!

We are doing some last minute fun stuff before little Spike gets here. Sunday we took a little day trip up to Dinkey Creek. I spent time up there when I was a kid, but we were never allowed to play in the creek! Fish, yes, play? no! The kids had a GREAT time. The water was COLD, but refreshing. We are thinking about camping up there next year. This Sunday we are going to hit the beach for the day. I'm a little more excited about this. The reason isn't because I love the beach so much more than the mountains (this is true, too, though), but I keep falling every time I do anything river related! I barely saved the camera at Dinkey Creek and those dumb rocks are slippery. Sand is decidedly NOT slippery, though. :)

Pictures of our adventures are coming soon! Back to school is coming. My little Manchester GATER is ready for her 3rd grade adventures and Kayleigh is excited to start preschool!
