Spring Fever


I can't believe it's June already!! The days are long and the weather is great, spring is in the air - and so is every pollen spore imaginable... I'd just like to say that if you are reading this and you don't suffer from allergies, you should take a long moment to breathe deep and thank the good Lord! This year is different from the past few years because Dan has been getting allergy shots for the last year and thankfully they are working so he can now be outside and enjoy the weather with little reaction - the allergies are still there, but they are FAR better. I still have allergies and they seem worse this year, but I'm pretty sure that it's just because Dan doesn't look like he's on his death bed every day. I've been staying inside...on my couch for the most part but there are those irrisistable moments when the outdoors call and I venture out to enjoy the garden (which is growing wonderfully!), the strawberry patch, the peonies, and the roses - I try not to pay too much attention to the weeds I can't pull... Dan's been doing his best to control them as much as possible with all the other things going on. He did a major overhaul the other day and everything looks so much better :)
Outside of the weather and allergies, I'm getting extremely stir crazy. I just want to clean things up and get all the nursery things put away and have the baby's room ready for the baby! I'm trying to be patient but I have this impending sense of doom that I'll go into labor before the doctor's tell me I can be up and about - which is at 36 weeks...2 weeks from tomorrow. I see the little countdown on the blog and try to tell myself that maybe I'll have the 40+ days left. We have a carseat (thank you gma and aunties) so she can come home and I'm sure it will all work out but I still have a little panicked feeling. I'm certain I'll be a flurry of extreme nesting-ness once I get the "ok" from the doctor. Well, maybe not a flurry... but definitely motivated.
Enjoy the pics!

Oh, the strawberry patch. How I miss the buckets and buckets of fresh berries. Katie would, too. She declares all berries her "favorite." Sounds like your ducks will all be in a row, soon. Don't sweat the small stuff. Heck, Katie slept in her portable Pack n' Play until she was 6 months old. We didn't even HAVE a crib for the poor kid. You guys are way ahead of where we were at the same point. Keep baking, Baby Modz!!

I laughed reading the story of Starving Michelle trying new drugs and reading magazines while baby does gymnastics! Love the little stork time line on your page!
