Our Week in Review

Wow, what a week. I could have post many entries this week, but I'm going to try to fit it all in one. First of all, Scott was home this past week and I'm so grateful that he was. Tuesday I threw my back out. At first it was just an annoyance, but by the evening and into Wednesday I had a hard time moving. All I did was pick up Ethan, my 30 lb. bag of potatoes... That was enough to break the this girl's back... Thank goodness it is getting better, but I came to realize that this will be a continuous problem until the end of my pregnancy. I'm carrying the baby low, putting more pressure on my lower back and my hips. I often go to bed in pain because of just living and trying to be a mother. I'm very thankful for Scott, without him, this last week would have caused me to break down, which I did the other day. I feel horrible seeing Scott work so hard while I sit by and watch. Scott hasn't shown anything but remorse and wants me to take care of myself. Putting more pressure on Scott to complete things around the house, inside and out, that I could be doing. I'm so grateful for an understanding husband that is willing to work hard.

On Thursday, we finally got our shed. It is so exciting! We've been looking at sheds and wishing for one for the past 3 years. We don't have a basement so storage space is hard to find. We found a company, thanks to our neighbors, that was a reasonable cost and they can come and build the shed all in 1 day. Scott spent time on Friday cleaning out the garage and putting everything into the shed. It is so nice to walk into the garage and fit between both cars without wiping my tummy on the dirty cars. Plus we still have a ton of room left in the shed.

We are going to paint it, eventually. We are thinking of painting it gray to match the house. Here is picture of our garden area that Scott worked on this week. It was pretty much covered with weeds and had rocks instead of woodchips. Scott worked all day Monday finishing this up. We have strawberries planted on one corner and we've already planted some tomatoes and peppers on another corner and the middle will be my pumpkins.

So if you think that was enough for one week, Scott also put the chair rail up in the baby's nursery, planted flowers, and was a dad. He has been busy and now he is off and traveling again this week. I'm so lucky to have a wonderful husband who loves his family and isn't afraid to work hard.
