Maybe it seems normal to think that I am this far along already, but I am in total denial. It’s so crazy telling people that I’m eight months pregnant! It seems so surreal! I am totally to the point of exhaustion now. I wasn’t entirely energetic until this point anyway, but I am definitely not doing much extra lately. My days literally consist of working, coming home, sitting on my comfortable recliner, and dozing off until Rob gets home and wants to eat something. The best weekends are like this past one, where we literally stayed home nearly all day long both on Saturday and Sunday (other than Church and grocery shopping). It was great!
The nursery is near completion; we still have to hang some curtains, and get some bedding for the crib. Also, we have to seriously clean out the closet and shelving to actually create some storage space for the baby’s things. She needs to put her 8 pairs of shoes (so far) somewhere, doesn’t she?
I have a question to put out there for my blog followers! I have been keeping my ears open towards ideas of what things parents do with their kids. You know, like special traditions? I have heard some pretty cute things; special date nights with each kid, birthday sugar cereal, going on certain trips to certain destinations at certain ages, etc. I have loved collecting these ideas and hope to use many of them on my own. So, with that explanation in place, what kinds of fun and ‘traditional’ things did you do with your parents while growing up? Or, what have you loved to do with your kids now that you are a parent? I would love to hear the great ideas that you have.
Once again, thanks for tuning in this week! We have some fun things coming up; General Conference, where I can literally sit on my couch and watch Church while in my PJ’s, another baby shower with the ladies from my ward, and the cooler weather (which I am welcoming with open arms at this point)!

Have a wonderful week and be happy! You deserve it!
L.O.V.E. the shoes!! to die for!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to have found your blog! I am drooling over the shoes, the bow holder and the princess room (oh and the baby shower food). too fun! you're so close to the end, it's so exciting. love you!
ReplyDeleteMy fav traditions with my mom were baking cookies for every holiday and in high school while my mom made dinner I sat on the island and told her all about my day:)
ReplyDeleteMy fave traditions were getting mommy daughter date nights where we'd go and do something girly. But that was after I had 8700 little brothers. So maybe do that if #2 is a boy huh?
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I loved was called "scriptures and snuggles". My mom would gather all us kids up on her lap/on the couch and read us the scripture stories from the illustrated children books. It gave us a good early understanding and appreciation and we all counted on that special time.
Love all your shoes!
My favorite tradition still to this day is family pillow talk. We all jumped on mom and dads bed in the morning and told stories of our week and just laughed and had fun.
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor had one "Happy Birthday" plate that was only used for birthdays. The birthday child/parent chose the meal eaten at dinner that day and got to use the birthday plate.

ReplyDeletecontar historias para as cças é uma otima tradiçao elas adoram.
