My day always begins with a finger prick to check my blood sugar. So far I've been able to keep my gestational diabetes under control without insulin.
Rachel has oatmeal and applesauce for breakfast.
Rachel takes care of her dolly while I slave away cleaning out her bedroom. I need to make room for all of Joseph's stuff.
The first task is just straightening up. Before and after.
Rachel keeps me company while I fix lunch.
Peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwiches with a side of grapes. She doesn't eat the grapes but at least she doesn't discard them off of her plate.
Yummmmmmmmm.
After her nap Rachel takes some time to read.
I wasn't feeling well so Doug took Rachel downstairs for an hour.
When I came down to check on them Doug was trying to rest while Rachel was crawling all over him and watching "Signing Time."
Doug got a new shipment of computer cooling fans.
Rachel is a fan of fans and was very unhappy when we took them away.
We had nachos for dinner; refried beans, chips and cheese.
After dinner we all went into my office. I hung out while Doug worked on souping up my computer. Yes, I am spoiled.
Rachel spent the time trying on hats.
Doug heroically put the Christmas tree in the rafters of the garage.
Rachel and I took some time to read, "Are You My Mother?"
Rachel checked out her reflection in the oven.
All in all, it was a good day.
I'm so glad you included a pic of you in there. It's so fun to see you! You look great! I think so often we remember to document our kids in EVERYTHING they do, but don't take the same time for ourselves. Sad.
ReplyDeleteSounds/looks like a productive day!
A very good day! This is a treasure! 25 years from now it will bring back those precious moments and make th real again. You are indeed a blessed mother! I love all four of you with all my heart.

Way to go on organizing the room. That is a lot of work and you got it done so quick. I need to do that to every room in my house. Cute cute kandid photos. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog and seeing your growing family! And I totally stole the 12 idea and am trying out myself this year :) Thanks for being you!
ReplyDeleteI really need your help in cleaning up! I was impressed that you went from before to after so quickly - tips please!
ReplyDeleteI wish that I could say that every room cleans up this quickly. I'll document my front room and then you'll see the bane of my existence. Storage and organization feel like an impossible dream some days. But, I figure if I work on smaller projects then maybe I'll be further ahead when the baby comes.
