I'm baaaack! :o)

Well, we have been anxously awaiting the birth of our second child, (Eli Daniel).  I'm due June 8th, but have been having so many hard/painful Braxton Hicks contractions for the past 3 weeks...I thought for sure by now he'd be here.  I'm trying to be patient and enjoy the last few days I have alone with my little Eliana, it's just hard with all of the discomforts this late in pregnancy, I'm sure most everyone has been there. 

On Sunday we decided to go and get Eliana a blow-up pool from WMart.  She loved it, above is a picture of her enjoying our $5 'investment'.  Now just to figure out how to get her out of it without a tantrum.  She's a very obedient girl for the most part, just not sure how to train her in this area....any suggestions?  We follow To Train Up a Child (fyi) and she's wonderful, keeps me on my toes though.

Yesterday we had some friends over for BBQ.  It was so nice, kept my mind off of NOT having the baby .  We use to have friends over quite often but for some reason or another, just stopped.  The men handled the grill while the women watched the kids and prepared the food inside.  I made the baked beans from Crystal Miller's website, they were soo good!!!  I love her recipes!  For dessert we had S'Mores, those were a hit as well, and I didn't even have to bake anything - .  Normally, I love to bake, but my hubby and I are trying to cut back on the sweets so this was perfect - or was it?  I had 3 S'Mores....at least no leftover goodies to tempt me today.

So today I'm working on laundry.  Eliana and I will be going out to the pool when she wakes up from her nap.  (Funny, it sounds all luxurious ).  I haven't decided what we'll have for dinner yet, I'll probably make something to go with the BBQ'd chicken we have left over.  My freezer is so stocked full of bread, I'm going to restrain myself and not bake anymore until we eat a few loaves.  It is a very lazy day here at my home....thanks for stopping by!

Take care of yourself and rest during these last days of your pregnancy. Let us know when Eli gets here! I just love your kids' names - Eliana and Eli. Very cool.
