We got in contact with the Tractor and equipment repair shop and he was confident he’d be able to help, even offered to come out the same day. There’s not much rush for it, getting the mower operating next week would be great, by then we’ll be done with our hosting, the baby will be back in daycare, and I’ll take some time to rest. This week is the daycare’s Summer break and as tiring as it is to be carrying the princess more, I think it’s good to get acclimated to caring for a baby all day long before the newborn comes. A friend of mine, just had his first kid last night. Once I get some rest we’ll start preparing for the new baby, there’s all sorts of equipment to pull out of storage, assemble and clean. This time around things seem easier since I know how they work now, there are so many little buttons that are partially hidden to avoid baby getting at them that were frustrating to figure out. There was also a pressure to not mess things up, where now I have confidence that I know what I’m doing, babies are a lot sturdier than I thought before having one. Yesterday we were back in the pool again and it’s amazing how quickly my daughter is taking to swimming. A couple days ago she was afraid to have her body in the water, now she’s sitting on the stairs half covered playing with her toys. With her floaties on she’s kept asking to go to the deep end, it’s fun for her and a little more work for me than where I can stand. It’ll be exciting to see her playing in the pool with her cousins this weekend, I’m sure they’ll be getting her riled up and she always like to show off for visitors.
