Summertime

...Aaaannnnddd once again it's been a long time since I updated :(

But we've been having a fun summer! We've been swimming in the pool, going to the water park/amusement park, and eating lots of ice cream. We went a trip to Agoura for a last hooray at the Hamilton house before they move to South Africa. Jude has been obsessed with Grandpa (both of them) and talks about them constantly and what he did with them (Grandpa Hamilton: swimming, horses, tunnels & catching the ball at the baseball game; Grandpa Langlois: star-gazing, skyping & ducks).


Jude's energy has increased greatly in the past few weeks, while mine has decreased. This kid is constantly running everywhere and going a mile a minute! Meanwhile, I'm getting more and more pregnant and increasingly want to just sit!



Peter & I celebrated our 3 year anniversary in June. We got a babysitter for the first time in months, and went out to Fleming's Steakhouse and ate ourselves into steak oblivion. It was amazing! I love being married to such an amazing man!

Pregnancy has been going well, although I feel way more pregnant at 36 weeks than I did last time. Lots of random pains and just the general uncomfortableness that comes with 3rd trimester. Why does something as natural as pregnancy have to be so darn miserable? And why are there so many random symptoms, like metallic taste in your mouth? Really? I'm sooo excited to have this baby! Only 4 more weeks!

My other summertime activity: nesting. Like crazy. Nesting, for those who don't know, is this urge some pregnant women get to clean/organize everything as a way to get ready for the baby. And I have it BAD. I've been rearranging and reorganizing everything in our apartment. I've been to Ikea and Target at least once a week to buy more organizing bins, furniture, etc. I'm pretty sure I'm driving Peter nuts with all my constant nagging to clean and asking for more money! Good thing he loves me so much... haha

More catch-up posts to follow! :)

    I have been wondering myself lately why pregnancy is so difficult and strange when having children is ordained of God. You would think that if it was something He wanted us to do so much that He would make the process a little easier, or at least less miserable! I am sure there is a reason for it, I just don't know what it is.

      So true! My father in law told me to just blame Eve haha. One of my friends made the suggestion to me the other day that maybe it sucks so that we actually want to get the baby out and not just let them live forever inside us.
