Symptoms: I'm EXHAUSTED, I've been feeling a little dizzy/faint lately and my heart just races at times.  Not sure what that's all about.  I have my Gestational Diabetes test tomorrow....I hope my symptoms don't lead to failing my test!  I'm a little worried!

Best Moment This Week: Feeling Harper do "flip flops" right after I ate a cookie!  It was so cute!

Little Bit O' Backyard Fun

Garrett has been out of town for a few days and we're going a little stir crazy around here without him!  I decided to let Madelyn play in the backyard today to pass a little time.  She had so much fun!!! 

I only planned on staying out for about an hour, but M had plans of her own.  My child would live outside if I'd let her! 

Now, I know it's a little redneck of us to set up a plastic pool and play with the water hose in the back yard for the day, but hey....you gotta do what you gotta do!!! 

Yes, we do have a cinder block wall in our yard....I know you are all soooooo jealous!!!  HA!

Little miss M was NOT ready to come in after an hour, so we stayed out for a looong 2 1/2 hours before I finally forced her to come in to eat lunch, shower, and take a nap! 

Madelyn was not thrilled with me making her come in, but geez....it's H-O-T out!  Especially with a little bun in the oven already!  Maybe we will head out and do a little redneck swimming again tomorrow!!!
