June, lots of Dallin playing at home

At the beginning of June I had two episodes with my heart racing, one of which I think I passed out.  Because of this I was told by my doctor I was not allowed to drive until after the baby was born.  This meant I had to get rides to all my doctors appointments and anywhere else I needed to go.  It also meant Dallin was playing at home a lot.
Just before I was not allowed to drive, Dallin and I made a trip to IKEA.  We got a new bathtub for the baby and things to organized the closets.  Dallin loves to play with the bathtub.
To get ready for the baby's arrival I have been organizing and cleaning the house.  Some would call it nesting, I call it being prepared for a break.  Dallin discovered my hand weights in the process.  Yes, that is Dallin carrying 5lbs with one hand.
Dallin has been growing like a weed.  He looks like a toddler not a baby in his Sunday clothes.
During some of the days we would go outside to play.  Our neighbor would set up the kiddy pool and the sprinkler for the kids to play in.  Dallin loved the sprinkler.  He would drag it all over the lawn.
Dallin spent many days this month playing inside.  The weather did not act like summer for almost the entire month.  We were wearing jackets and shoes instead of the usual summer apparel.  Dallin loves to play with the dominoes set Lukes sister Julie gave us.  They end up all over the house before he is finished.  We then get to go through the process of counting them to make sure we have them all before we put them away.
I think the summer weather was delayed so that I could stay comfortable.  I really enjoyed not being completely confined to my bedroom with the air conditioning blasting to survive that last month of my pregnancy.
