Changing again?

Yes, our minds have changed again. No trip to Port Aransas for us after all. We have decided that the money would be better spent elsewhere. So, at least don't have any more planning to do.

So, now I'm at about 34 weeks and am as impatient as ever. I am so tired of being uncomfortable and hot. Ah, well, it really is all worth it in the end. I do love having these kiddos. No real changes, still doing well. I am having the early contractions though, which I am happy about. At least pregnancy doesn't go on forever.

Jacob has taken up chess and loves it. I am trying to become more involved in the Midland homeschool group and they have chess on Monday nights. Jenna is saying she has enjoyed playing a little too so tonight she wants to go and check it out also. I'm glad they are having fun.

August Already?

I say that, but July really did go by slowly for me. August, however is flying by, which I am very happy about.

We are preparing for our trip to Port A now. My midwife knows a fellow midwife in the Corpus area, so we are covered. I am excited and yet, I know I'll wear myself out. I plan to sit around as much as possible. Dawn says she expects me to deliver mid-September and maybe I will. I still think the last week of September is when he'll be born. We'll see, we'll see.

So, birthdays are coming up here in the Coleman house. And I don't just mean a few, I mean everyone except me will be having a birthday here soon. For the girls, I re-painted their room with a cute monkey theme and got them accessories to match (sheets, quilt, rug, some monkeys to play with). Ryan gets a Rainforest lunch party in San Antonio and I think we have decided on a bike for him. Jacob wanted some leatherworking stuff, so that's what he will get. He really has enjoyed leatherworking since Susie, a friend of ours, has been working with him on it. I can't believe I am going to have an 8 year old who's almost as tall as I am!

Well, today is normal. We are going to keep trucking along on school so that we don't get behind. Though I guess it doesn't matter too much, since I like the idea of year-round schooling. We get lots of breaks that way and don't get burned out or forget everything over the summer.
