How to keep busy when you're 9 months pregnant

While the fear of my water breaking or just losing control of my bladder keeps me around home most of the time, there are still plenty of things we can find to do around here...


like wrestle with daddy- this is Adam's new favorite thing to do. I'm just praying one of his stick limbs doesn't snap in the process.


We eat chocolate chip cookies.


We check on the flowers. The black eyed Susans filled in nicely this year.



Amanda, this one's for you! I noticed that Cathy L. added this one to her garden as well. :)


We read- from whatever angle I'm comfortable.

My Black Eye Susans made it but they only have a few flowers. Next year maybe. I took a picture the other day and thought I would post it but I won't after seeing yours. Mine looks not as pretty.
Have a cool relaxing day!

Amanda Irene said...

Oh that my favorite flower those are what again?

Jackie said...

I love this post - the beauty of everyday life at home. Cookies, books and nature - I can't think of anything better!

Kara said...

Tracey, next year they'll do better- I promise! These have been here 3 years I think, so be patient. :)

Amanda- it's called Gaillardia "Oranges and Lemons". Or maybe it's lemons and oranges. You catch my drift.

Jackie- thank you!

Looks like the kiddos are having plenty of fun. :-) And everyone is right - gorgeous flowers!! BTW, I still think they should make rubber pants in maternity sizes. Then we could venture out in public without fear.

Hang in there, Mama!

Kara said...

ooooo rubber pants, now that would leave a panty line.

Jenny LaBo said...

would rubber panties ride up like other panties?

Amanda Irene said...

No wonder lemons and organes huh. My hydraingia is called lemon daddy. BTW thank you for letting me still comment even though I misspell everything. :)
