So apparently I spoke a little too soon about this pregnancy being better than last. It seems it's caught up with me! For the last week or so I've been feeling exhausted, spending far too much time with a toilet (TMI, I'm sure), and just feeling overwhelmed with growing a baby inside (don't get me wrong, I'm still incredibly thankful...it's just apparently no easy task for my body ha). BUT, my man has been taking good good care of us. He's trying his very very best not to complain, but to just do. He's cleaned, he's cooked, he even voluntary went to the local pharmacy when he was supposed to be taking some 'him time' and asked for some anti-nausea medicine for me. I'm thankful for him.
He's also taken E out a couple times over the past weeks for walks or to play at a local indoor playplace. This gives me some time to just "veg" (or rather, sleep in peace, throw up in peace, or cry in peace haha...this stage of pregnancy TOO SHALL PASS, right? ;) Basically, he's been SuperDad (thanks, babe!).
One such time out together they decided to venture across the road to our nearby lake. Right next to the lake is a popular spot for out-of-town circuses. This time it is an Italian circus there, but often it's Hungarian, etc. Jas claimed that Elise needed to see the animals, but I, myself, think really the kid in him just wanted to see them ;)
And he caught some great shots of these animals...let's start with my fav:
Doesn't everyone have a camel chillin' in their backyard? LOVE that face!
Or maybe an elephant like below?
The lake is also a great place to watch the swans (we've literally watched these guys grow up over the last year...)
And finally this day in particular there was a sailboat regatta (hope that is the right word...Jas taught me that ha :) happening on the lake.
He took some great shots, huh!?
And finally I snapped one good one too...
We've got monkeys at the intersection! Thankfulness is the cure for what ails you! (well, that and a toilet and getting to April:) Good job choosing to be thankful...fills your mouth and heart up with the good stuff and leaves less room for complaining. You're doing great Mama! Keep growing that baby!
ReplyDeletesorry you haven't been feeling too well :( hope it passes quickly!! I love the swan pictures, btw.
ReplyDeleteAw, hate that you're this sick. I was hoping that it would be less than the first time around. Super cute way to announce the news, btw. :)
ReplyDeleteLove you being thankful! And, today, I just wish i could step through your blog. I love that water...those circuses. I used to run there. Man....I miss Blava SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!
ReplyDeleteI remember that feeling all too well - it seemed like it would never end, yet now it's a distant memory. Funny how that works. But so glad you have great support there for you! And btw, you know how I love camels - and I just giggled like a little girl at your pictures :)
