Since the last post I've since moved from the big city to a small country road,had my son 6 weeks earlier than planned, returned back to work and now have a 3 month old baby at home! Those are only some of the things keeping me busy besides a full time job, husband, family, needy fat cat etc.
Moving was a blast pregnant! I honestly recommend it! Just not in the summer! Despite the fact of no one letting you move things (not that I'm complaining, ha!) summer time in these mountains can still be dauntingly hot and humid. But once we got settled and moved in things were going fairly smoothly. De-cluttered some, got rid of furniture we just weren't using anymore as well as a lot of other items. It was freeing to downsize to a smaller place. But hey, be it ever so humble there's no place like home!
So after getting settled into my new home I was getting settled into the last stretch of the last trimester of my pregnancy and around 34 weeks in I had terribly swollen feet (well...and everything else) and high BP. Went into the hospital expecting bed rest only to come home a parent 6 weeks sooner than anticipated!! Talk about a surprise! My son didn't want to share birthdays I guess. With the surprise of my first son and the early birth his room hadn't been prepared so when I had to leave him in the NICU to grow a lite bigger and stronger I came home to a completed nursery from my friends and family. I cried, so thankful for the friends and family who cared enough to help me make our home a little cozier and nicer for our newest addition. It's wonderful to be loved by such wonderful people.
So now Ethel and I have been planning our Christmas' with cookies, Christmas Eve boxes, candy making and other grand plans...again, it's great to be loved by such wonderful people.
Ethel has big news of her own, but I will let her do some updating! We have been slackers but will get back on it soon! I hope to post a few recipes and Dollar Tree favorites for the holidays in my next post! Until next time....!
Love,
Lucy
