Activities
It’s really easy to do nothing. When Sarah’s uncomfortable, it’s so freakin’ hot outside, and we are alittle on the broke side, it’s easy to sit at the house and watch nothing on TV. (Now, Supernanny is another story.) I got an email today:
“Hey, can we talk tonight. I’m feeling antsy”
Then it dawned on me, She’s going through unbelievable changes. She can’t do things she used to take for granite. She has given up doing theatre until after Tony’s born. It’s driving her up the wall. She’s tired of feeling like a home body.
So, here’s the lesson I am trying to learn and put into place. Take the reigns. Get her out. Find things we can do. Here’s the challenge. She almost in the third trimester. She has limits. So I need to find things she can do, comfortably.
Tonight…we went and ate at the mall and people watched. It’s an us thing. We also shopped around, looking at baby stuff, like bad baby onesies, like on T-shirt Hell.com(ADULT CONTENT!)…again, an us thing.
So guys, take the lead. Find stuff to do, away from the house. Take things at her speed, but be willing to go when she’s ready.
Oh, an we also played with the camera…

I’m a personal fan of Mommy drinks because I cry. It gives me warm fuzzies.
As far as activities…go swimming. I’m hot as hell all the time but the water feels SOOO good..and as an added bonus you get some relief of the weight off your body. It isn’t very exciting but it feels good!

Oh, Sudie, I couldn’t agree more!! When we went to Knoxville, the pool was my FAVORITE place to be. We went to a friend’s pool party a few weeks back, and it was BLISSFUL. Unfortunately, we don’t have access to a pool all the time.. but I dream about it.
