Warning: Having Children May Be Hazardous to Your Self-Esteem

Saturday was HOT, so we headed to the water park in our town. There we met my mother and my niece. It was so crowded we had to wait for people to exit the park before we could enter. Standing at the gate gave Conner plenty of time to read the park rules--one of which is no tank tops.

While we were swimming Conner and I had the following conversation:

Conner: Mom, it said no tank-tops.

Me: This isn't a tank top, it's a swimsuit.

Conner: Well, it looks like a tank-top.

Me: It's called a maternity swimsuit.

Conner: It looks as bad as it sounds.

Me: Had you rather I wear my bikini?

Conner: NO WAY!

Summer Time

Just thought I'd give an update on what we've been doing this lately. Although it's summer, I've still been busy. I'm teaching a three week writing institute for teachers. I love it, but I come home pretty wiped out each night.

Conner attended church camp last week, and had a blast. I meant to take my camera when we went to pick him up, but I forgot it :0(

David has been taking care of the kids while I'm working, and Kennedy has been busy learning to swim. She cracks us up because she smiles the entire time she is swimming. She never would put her head under, and her teacher, Ms. B, said if she'd just put her head in she'd be swimming.

On the last day, the four of us went to the city water park after swim lessons. Conner gave Kennedy a pair of goggles, and she put them on, put her face in the water, and took off swimming.

I Can't See My Toes

Monday, Lisa and I went to see Dr. P. It still looks like we are on track to induce on Monday, July 7th. I've gained 16 pounds so far, and officially weigh more than I ever have in my life. I gained 17 pounds with Kennedy and 19 pounds with Conner, but I began this pregnancy weighing more than I did with either of them.


After our appointment, Lisa treated me to a pedicure. I was so thankful she suggested it--my polish was really chipped, and I can no longer reach my toes. I was going to take a picture of my pedicure when I realized I can no longer see my toes either.




See the thing in the bottom of the picture that looks like a giant moon? That's what I see when I look down. No feet anywhere in sight.










So I sat down in my recliner and zoomed in for a picture of my pretty toes. Thanks, Lisa!

Wanna see something RIDICULOUS?
Check this out.......

Last week my 4 year-old nephew asked me if the doctor was going to pop it open to get the baby out. I guess it looks like a giant balloon to him. He's fascinated with my tummy and pulls my shirt up and starts mashing my belly button every time he sees me.









This past weekend I saw my parents, and Daddy could see my "outty" through my shirt. He said it was my turkey button and it looked to him like I was done. I tried to take a picture of it, but I couldn't get it to come out very well.




Well, that's the update. I can't believe Madison will be here in less than two weeks.
