I know I haven't blogged in awhile. I was hoping to get some cute pictures of Kate while we were in Chattanooga, but she was grouchy and felt horrible while we were there. She had a bad cold, a 102 fever and a double ear infection. That meant no sleep for any of us that night in the hotel. At about three o'clock in the morning , Matt even suggested that we just pack up and head back to Nashville right then since we weren't going to get any sleep anyway. I nixed that idea. We ended up going to the aquarium the next morning. We decided this would be our last chance to go for a long time. Kate wasn't particularly thrilled. I think she would have enjoyed it much more if she didn't feel so bad. I did hear her shriek in fear for the first time. A giant six foot long sea turtle swam right up to the glass where she was standing. She shrieked and ran to Matt.
Other than that, we've been pretty boring around here. I'm at the point in the pregnancy where I have no energy. My mantra these days is "if it doesn't have to be done, I'm not doing it" (and no-- Matt, Mom, Dad or whoever just snickered at that, that is not my mantra even when I'm not pregnant...). I use what little reserve of energy I have left to chase Kate around and take care of her. This means Kate and I spend a lot of time up in the playroom. This way I can sit and she can run around. She is too rambunctious these days to play much downstairs on the hardwood. Here are some pictures of Kate playing this afternoon. She is still sporting the bruise on her forehead that she got last week when she dove off the side of the couch, onto the hardwood floor. The bruise has now faded into a nice shade of olive green.
