Guilty

It is the end of my 35-week pregnancy. The tummy is getting heavier and heavier. I am starting to go back to my afternoon nap schedule again.

Because of my pregnancy, I feel kind of guilty towards my daughter, Cassandra. This Spring and Summer we really didn't do much activities outside. I just don't feel the energy. And, because everytime I get under the sun, my face gets itchy and so we stay indoor most of the time. Last year, I remembered we were out playing in our driveway a lot. She would bike, playing with the slide, having fun in the kiddie pool and I used our patio furniture a lot too. This year, we didn't even take out the slide and the kiddie pool at all!

Every morning, we would get up around 10 or 11am. If Cassandra got up early that morning, let's say 8:30 or 9am, she would just either hang around in my room or playing in her room to wait for me to get up. And, by the time we get downstairs, it's usually after 11am. We will then have breakfast at that time, and have late lunch. And, in the afternoon, around 3 or 4pm, I would feel the need to take a nap. She will then playing in her room again while I nap in my room for an hour or two. And, by the time I get up, Steven is usually ready to come home. We will then have dinner together, and she will go down in the basement to be with Steven while he's busy with his basement project. At around 9:30 or 10pm, Steven will give her a shower and I will put her to bed. That's pretty much what she does everyday since the summer started. Not to mention of my pregnant mood that she just get yell by me for doing little wrong things or yell by Steven because he gets exhausted when he does his project!

One day, when we were on I-78, she turned around and told me, "Mommy, I haven't gone to Dorney Park for a long time!" Yes, it's true, we didn't even go to Dorney this year at all, and it's only few minutes away from us! I get so tired up with my pregnancy, Steven gets so hook up with his basement project. Poor Cassandra, all summer long, she's just following her mommy and daddy around! I am just glad that I tak her to her swimming lesson 3 days a week for the month of July and we had had guests over on the weekends that she at least still had kids to play with here and there.

Next summer, we will have to make it up to her. We are just too blessed to have such a good and cooperating daughter! She just plays by herself, singing, dancing, talking and chatting with her imaginery friends all the time!

Update on pre-natal visit, I went for one 2 weeks ago and another one this Tuesday, I didn't even gain one pound! This is a surprise consider how much weight I gained int he last few weeks when I had Cassandra!
