... we've been at the ER three times (2 of the times during the middle of the night = miserable). Joshua ended up getting diagnosed with a staph infection that has caused him a lot of pain. It was finally the third doctor that gave it to us real and told us that he wouldn't be able to get back to work for a week. We are trying to make the best of it and are enjoying this time together before our baby girl arrives.
... we bought some of the remaining items off of our registry that we needed to bring little E home: a crib mattress, a changing pad, diapers, the monitor... We are still working on the aesthetics of the nursery but for now feel comfortable enough knowing that if she were to come early, we'd have everything we needed.
... I've had on and off Braxton Hicks contractions. Yesterday they were so uncomfortable that we had to leave church a little early. I was reading that dehydration can be a cause of them, so I've been trying to chug water today. I know that this 100 degree heat isn't helping. If you have any tips on how to stay comfortable during the last 4 weeks of pregnancy, please let me know! :)
... I've missed my family and friends back in San Diego more than ever and wish that my parents would move out here ASAP :) It's always nice to be back in our hometown, but it makes coming back home that much harder.

... monsoon weather has officially started. That means afternoon rainstorms that make the house all gloomy and I don't feel guilty for staying in my sweats and cuddling with my puppy and hubby all day.
... Joshua's great-aunt passed away unexpectedly (seriously she was just at our baby shower last weekend, so sad), his sister had thyroid surgery, my dad had a complete toe surgery, my nephews got the flu AND lice, and Joshua had his staph infection like I previous mentioned... what a week!
DESPITE it all, it's been a beautiful week of down time... of just enjoying this beautiful home we just bought and not tackling any big projects. The last 7 month of our lives have been non-stop and I am so thankful for this blessing in disguise-- no schedule, no work, no plans-- to just soak up some more time together before we become a family of three!
While I'm on this topic of rest, I just wanted to let you all know that this will be the last "Cup 1/2 Full" link up for awhile.. I'm not sure if I'll bring it back in the fall, or if I'll bring it back at all... just wanted to keep you in the loop :) Thank you for linking up each week over the past 20 WEEKS!-- I know I don't always have the time to comment, but I really do try to read each one! xo
