Today I delicately, gently, lovingly but directly tried to explain to my young, energetic children why mommy can not go to the pool everyday or even every other day for that matter. Why we'll probably be home a lot more until baby Daniel comes. That mommy is tired, sore, swollen, hot and that all my energy is being sucked up by making the baby healthy. I even tried to remind them that Daddy and many people will be here visiting and entertaining them after the baby comes. With still frowns on their faces of disappointment and rejection at another request to go swimming we made this...
Today we removed "19". On our COUNTDOWN TO BABY DANIEL.
Thankfully a primary activity for church and the 4th of July will be joyous distractions to get them through!

You know its not the actual pool trip that makes me tired. Its the getting suits on, finding towels, lathering up with sunscreen, finding goggles. And floaties. And sandals. AND carrying it all down to the pool which seems to take 2 hours to do that tires me out.
And I'm not even pregnant.
The chain is a clever idea! And Daniel is such a GREAT name!!!!
ur such a cool mom.......sigh
