Lately my princess has had a word explosion, almost everything that comes out of my mouth she’s able to repeat, or at least attempt to. Recently we’ve been putting effort into reading with her more and I’m glad we are since I need to say more words. She’ll catch up to my abilities quickly and I have to increase acceleration to postpone it, a rising tide lifts all boats. Towards the end of pregnancy and the initial newborn I see as our weakest position and use that to calm myself whenever I begin to worry. I remember the exhaustion the first time around and remember I reached new levels of strength after recovering, but before restarting the cycle. Today I’ll be working on the patch of tall grass again, it shouldn’t take long to finishing trimming and then I’ll go over everything with the mower. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and I’ll release that from my mind. There’s still some coughing problems, mostly it’s a mental battle that I cough when I feel an itch which continues to the issue. I’d like to start doing some cardio exercise if I can find the time. I’ve finally added a pull up bar inside my house, it works better than I planned as I’ve found a tall doorway for it. Initially I was doing pull ups on a tree branch which I still like the idea, the only problem was the ground around the tree isn’t perfectly flat, so using a ladder to get up there was dangerous. Then I got a power cage that has pull up bars, but they were too low and there is a metal bar in the back that my feet kept hitting. As always I’m grateful for the experience and glad I found a resolution.
