I have found something to ease my pains a bit. It is our aerobed. Kevin put it up for me last week and it actually has really helped me with my sleep and joint/pelvic pain. Every night for the last couple months I have been waking up every hour to turn over to relieve what ever side I was on. You know how your hips can ache when you are expecting. Well I would start out in one bed, then go to another bed, and then end up on the couch trying to just get some rest. Kevin decided to put up the aerobed for me. It is a queen size airbed that stands as tall as a regular bed once aired up. I felt pretty good after sleeping on it after one night but I was skeptical. Now I am sold after a week. I will be sleeping on it until I can not roll off of it anymore because of my awkward girth or until I have my little bundle. God has been good.
This weekend we were able to go to the zoo with the kids! Yeah! I did not think that I was going to be able to do anything like this again after the mall and bombing the house weekend. Nevertheless I thought that I would try. My poor children have been couped up in this house with me and I really felt sorry for them. So I said a prayer that the Lord would have mercy and away we went in the spur of a moment. I was extremely slow going but we all made it through. The kids had a lot of fun.
Wynter and Derek!
Wynter Lov'n the ride!
Derek enjoying the ride!
This is the end of the day. We were pretty tired.
God was good to me. I still had the energy to come home and make dinner. I woke up on the aerobed the next morning feeling pretty good and was able to go to church and do all my wifely duties for the day. This morning I am still able to praise God for his mercy. There is no aftermath from the zoo like I thought there would be.
I am going to go pick up September today and can not wait to see her and hear how much fun she had with her grandparents at Branson. I made it through the weekend without her.

What a wonderful thing to be able to do. So glad that you are feeling fine afterwards. Hope the bed continues to be just the thing.
Your kids are soooo cute! I just love the pictures you posted!
I'm so glad that you got to do so much lately. It really is something that we take for granted when we are NOT pregnant. I may have to buy an aerobed if my hips act up this time. Oh dread! lol You look great and it wont be long now, right?
Good for you for going to the zoo. I remember us going before I popped with Samuel. You look adorable pregnant and the time is going so fast. I can't wait to see this baby. Glad the bed is making things a little easier.
Glad to hear you got out Michelle. It will be over soon, or easy for me to say that. lol I really prayed about leaving the house for the Cortez's flea market day and he blessed me too. He knows when we need to just get out and the family needs an outing.
