Poor Perry

Sweet Perry didn't want to leave and go to the other house. He says he doesn't feel good over there. That's all he can say about it. We held him close together, reassuring him that we would get him after the days were up. I showed him on a calendar when he would be home again. SO long....He was not happy about that. Geoffrey suggested to him he take his fox with him if he'd like. Hopefully that helps him some. 

 

I am Venturing Out, July Fun

Little by little I have been getting out of the bedroom, joining the family. Oh how I miss them

My mom got Geoffrey this shirt as a thank you for all his help taking good care of me. 

My mom bought us some strawberry and whipped cream on top of angel food cake!

Watson thinks putting any random letters together makes a word haha

We thought these were interesting things to put together in one store. Geoffrey took his suits here. 

Getting baby Bella's crib put together!

Doesn't he look so handsome!

Daddy took us out to eat in the square and it was not impressive. I felt like a massive beast as I am still trying to wear normal clothes in public and gaining a little strength here and there, and baby moved down so now it is even harder to walk. 

Eli found the chocolate and had a party

Greggie showed me this amazing treasure chest he made out of legos at the other house when I picked him and the other 3 up. AMAZING

So great having the boys home all together again. 

Pic I sent Geoffrey while he was at work. It was hard when he had to go back into work. Emotionally I was still recovering and my body was barely hanging on. 

Calvin's ninjago ninja collection

Making Homemade ice cream! I planned some fun things to do with the kids while they were all here for only 3 days. They each took a turn shaking the bag to make ice cream. 

it worked!

I made homemade quiche which was WAY harder than I thought, especially with my body the way it is. But it actually turned out! Most of the kids liked it too! (Not watson)

Greggie loves to feel baby Bella, he gets SUPER excited! He thinks she is cute and is already developing a relationship with her. 

Donuts for their last morning with us before leaving again for 10 days! :(

We put the boys head to head again and to our surprise Calvin is almost as tall as GREGGIE! They are wearing the same size clothes. Calvin really blew through size 8. He wasn't there for long in pants. His legs are growing fast! Much to Greggie's dismay!

 

27 and 28 Weeks

I missed the weak before because I was just too sick and in too much pain to get pants on. It was a trial to wear the black pants and this shirt at this time as well. I just couldn't get the jeans on, they would hurt me too much. So...the last two weeks were nuts and hard. I am very weak and need to build up my strength for birth. I am still trying to eat more and drink more. I am doing much better at drinking than ever before. I have been listening to spiritual things to try and help me during this time and watching Murder She Wrote. Nothing was really helping me much. I can tell depression is lingering. Trying hard to keep myself up and not get too down. 

My doctor has been good at calling me to make sure we are doing okay. 

 

4th of July

Grandma Came. We celebrated on the 5th because I was still just not up to it. I barely could do it on the 5th. I was sad because I had plans to make the day special for the kids, but was not strong enough to do any of it. Thanks to my mom and Geoffrey the kids got to do something. 

Calvin being sweet helping me back inside. I was so week and hurt so much walking was such a trial! I had to stop and take a couple breaks before making it back to bed. 

It was something being outside again. I really enjoyed the flowers next to me. 

Grandma was so sweet and got me a walking stick to help me to the bathroom when my hips go out.
