This passed Saturday I really wanted to work on the front yard. We have rocks in our front yard which is nice, in a way, because Daniel doesn't have to cut grass every week. The downside is that some grass and weeds grow through parts of the rock. I worked really hard, months ago, getting a lot of the weeds up so the yard would look really nice, but after getting rain and time going by they seem to be growing back. This was disappointing after all the time and effort I spend working on it :(.
Anyway, Daniel and I both worked on the yard on Saturday and it looks better, but I couldnt get over the baby weeds, so I spent probably 1-2 hours trying to pull them up. Let me tell you, it wasn't really worth it because I didn't get all of the weeds and I kicked my butt doing it. With all of Landon's weight, bending and squatting really does me in.
The next day (Sunday) was the day I had my episode with the paramedics. I was thinking how it must of looked like I was somewhat going through a seizure with me sitting in that rocking chair, tossing my head from side to side wanting to come out of the state my body was going through.
Well, I guess Saturday and Sunday wasn't enough for me. Yesterday I wanted to continue on in my nesting stage because I keep thinking that soon I won't be able to do this anymore. In wanting to get things done, I over did it again! I worked for about 4 hours trying to get the floors of the house done. I vacuumed, mopped, took a rag to Daniel and my bathroom floor, cleaned our toilet, took out the trash in both bathrooms and somehow managed to make dinner. My body must have been going "YOU WILL PAY!" because last night I had to have Daniel massage my legs and feet. It was a temporary fix because I was miserable later while trying to go to sleep.
So, those of you that are reading this...I think I have learned my lesson. Things that have come across my mind while I have been pregnant: I don't know how some women are able to work until their baby arrives (to me...these women are super-women), I don't know how some women carry multiple babies (like the lady on TLC that carried 6!), and I am kind of thankful now that God spared me from having twins (when the possibility was there). I just don't think I would have done well carrying twins. With how my body has been during this pregnancy I have been pretty blessed, yet trying to work around the house and having my breathing problems, passing out and almost passing out, and the insurance problem- pregnancy has to be a reliance on God! Landon will most likely end up being an only child, yet we won't completely close the door on having another. I have been so blessed to be given a healthy little boy and if Landon is our only one I will be content and thankful for his life that I have the blessing to care for.
