Garden beds, Baby Shower, and 33 weeks!

Our garden beds have been a bit lack-luster, and even more so once we got the pretty new fence. Since I have an awfully hard time bending over - they just stayed for too long. We had bought and planted some nice bushes that we planted about a week ago, but the bare dirt was very annoying. Yesterday Josh had a day off and I went to the store and got some mulch (by some, I mean a yard and a third - which filled the back of Josh's truck...)

Before:
That is all catnip that had spread on its own.



AND AFTER!!!

Lady felt left out, so she posed for a picture!

It feels great to be able to sit out here and just enjoy the backyard... and not worry about what we need to do next... Which will be a concrete patio this next spring! ;)

On another note, my Mother in Law held a baby shower for us on June 25th, and it was great! I was 32 weeks in the pictures.

33 Weeks!

Overall, I have been feeling great. I have had some issues with my sciatic nerve - which I had have problems with in the past. I found a great Chiropractor who let me lay down on my stomach (his table accommodated my large belly...) who helped immediately. I have had to spend a lot of time inside in the air conditioning - but that has been alright... I just wish I could physically do a bit more. I start my 2 week check-ups this next week for a month and then every week. My due date is August 19th - but all bets (literally) are pulling for an earlier date! ;) We did have an ultrasound at 32 weeks and she is growing well inside of me - measuring bigger then my actual date... so that is a positive! ;)
