38 Weeks

I am now 38 weeks along and ready for this babe! Ty and I went camping over Saturday night so he could do some scouting for the hunt. I had a little bit of a hard time sleeping because of the contractions and difficulty getting comfy but we had a great time together :) My contractions feel different, I think I'm starting to open up. I've had the clear discharge the past couple days which is another sign of opening and I've been diligent about finishing the HB book and doing my relaxations. While I was at Powell, Ty got everything we need for the birthing pool and even moved our room around to see how it would all fit. He's wonderful. So now we are just waiting for this baby to be ready! Tyson and I are so excited :) 

I Love This Man

Lake Powell

So...I ended up going to Lake Powell with my family while Tyson stayed home and worked. It was super fun! I stayed in a tent with my sisters (Edens hubby didn't go either) and we had some good laughs in that tent! I had to pee at least three times a night and we were sleeping on a blow up mattress so that was pretty exciting...by the last night I was really ready for my own bed! Eden did henna on my belly one afternoon, and I surfed behind the boat for realsies! Also we all swam to the little island one day, which felt amazing to my body! I love water. I went home early with Janelle and we chatted the whole 7 hours, she's an amazing woman. It was so fabulous to see Ty after 5 days, I missed him like crazy. 

Country Gardens Nursery

Today after taking lunch to Ty (we sat out in the shade of a tree by the shop, it was very cute and picnic-y), I stopped by the Country Gardens Nursery to check out their tomato and bell pepper plants. I really like that place, it feels "countryish" and they have good prices and great plants. An older man helped me and I came home with six Omar's Lebanese heirloom tomato plants, two different types of cherry tomato plants, four red bell pepper plants, four green bell pepper plants, and a bag of fertilizer. All for $28! It was awesome, I was ecstatic. When I got home I put on a long sleeved, button up shirt to protect my arms and the back of my neck from the sun (I got roasted on Saturday) and started planting. I then sprinkled the whole garden with the fertilizers and gave it a good watering. I'm excited to show Tyson when he gets home. 

Planting The Garden

Saturday Ty and I woke up at 6:00 am and started weeding the edges of our garden. Kimbal disked the center but we had to pull the weeds on the edge. It was so beautiful that early in the morning and it reminded me of waking up to garden with mom our first couple summers here. After the weeds were gone we began raking up piles. We used a large, shallow crate to sift out the rocks and dead weeds. When we were done it looked amazing. We took a break for lunch and stopped by moms to borrow some extra seeds she had to add to the ones I bought the week before. We planted zucchini, crook neck, cucumber, lettuce, spinach, kale, beats, radishes and onions. We are real rookies at this whole gardening thing so hopefully it works!
