Apparently lawn mowing isn't for the pregnant ones...

I've got 8 weeks to go on this pregnancy and I'm so very excited for this little guy to come! But, I've got a funny little story to tell that happend to me last night. It was around 7pm and Kylie wanted to go play outside and ride her bike around so I went out with her while skyler was playing the XBOX for a little bit. I didn't just want to go out there and do nothing while Kylie rode her bike. So, Skyler tried to mow our lawn a couple of days ago but we ran out of gas and so we just got some today for it. Anyways, it was all gased up and ready to go and so I figured I could just do it while Kylie rode her bike up and down the drive way. And besides, I love doing yard work! Seriously! I love to mow the lawn (I like the smell of fresh cut lawn too), to do the trimmings, and to make my yard look good. Now we haven't been keeping up on our yard lately because we've been really busy. But, when I get the chance, I love to go out and do what i can. Soooo... I started to mow the lawn (what's lawn mowing, right? It's not hard at all. You just push it around in even lines and it does the rest. It's easier than pushing a stroller, which I do as well), and a couple of men from my ward pull up across the street. They were volenteering to help a young mom in the ward mow her lawn, but they apparently saw me first. And one of them comes out of the car and comes up and I let the mower off. He says, "This right here is soooo wrong! You're not suppose to be doing this!" Inside I'm laughing because how many times have I heard that I cant do things that I want to do. I wasnt doing anything hard at all. Then, I thought that maybe he thinks that my hubby doesn't want to do it so I did it myself (haha). They all were pretty angry about it! So, I told them that I love to do yard work. Pregnant or not, I'm still going to do what I want to do as long as I feel safe about it. (mind you, Skyler told me before I went out and started, "you realize you're pregnant, right? You really shouldn't be doing this" I just said, "Yeah... And...??" like it was no big deal. Well, apparently it was!) So, I told them what Skyler had said, and they just laughed. The men asked if they could PLEASE let them do my yard for me if I let them borrow my lawn mower for the lawn accross the street. I told them they could deffinetly use my lawn mower but they really didn't have to do my yard for me. Well, I caved and let them do it. They even did the back yard too!! Scooped up dog poop and took out a couple of nasty sunflowers that had grown in my back yard over the last couple of weeks as well! I guess I'm not suppose to do yard work when I'm this pregnant!? I thought it was all very funny.... Skyler said to me when I had told him all of what had happened, "great, they probably think I'm freeking lazy or something..." And I didn't mean to have it all come off like this. So, he started cleaning our bedroom and putting laundry away. I thought this whole thing was pretty funny. But, to avoid any more "getting in trouble", I'm going to keep my yard work to the back yard where it's all fenced in the wood fencing so no one can see. I promise, I'm not going to push my self to far. I would never do that. I like to stay busy though. and if it's mowing the lawn that I want to do, I'm going to do it. However, I am so grateful that they stopped by and did all of that yard work for me. They had it all finnished with in 30 min (maybe a little less) and I know that I couldn't have had that done in that little amount of time. That's my silly story :)
