Lessons in not overdoing it

So this weekend was an interesting one - I've begun to swell like crazy. My shoes have gone from a size 8-8 1/2 to a size 10 (and that's if the swelling on the top of my feet isn't out of control). My mother informed me to take my "mouth off the salt shaker" and the doctor said to keep my feet up and ice them. I followed their advice on Thursday but, on Friday night... Luke and I went to the Duke Blue White game. We only stayed until half time and my feet were so swollen that it was hard to get my socks off. Yikes! Did I learn my lesson?

No! Saturday, I decided that it was extra important to wash all windows in the house (inside and out) by the afternoon, I was in tears and we canceled dinner on some friends b/c I was totally exhausted. When will I learn?

It's weird but I feel like I've got to get all these small projects done before the baby arrives (like our visitors will really care if we have dirty windows).

Luke won't admit it but he's nesting too -- Building shelving, cleaning the garage, pruning outside, painting picture frames. I guess keeping busy is our way of welcoming baby!

We saw the Bumms (G-ma and G-pa, and Auntie Hilary) on Sunday for brunch. They came bearing gifts - clothing for the last couple of weeks - I'm sporting the tunic they brought already today. Hil had the best idea, that we should train Abby to bark twice for a diaper change. If she were able to do that, I'd buy her this outfit. Probably not but worth the dream!

I guess I'll try to do things in moderation for the next 3 weeks!
